Notable contributing resources include the Raleigh Country Club golf course designed by Donald Ross, Longview Baptist Church (c. 1955) and Milner Memorial Presbyterian Church (1946), both striking examples of Modernist architecture.

[2] Developed from 1938 to 1965 by Clarence Poe, the longtime editor of The Progressive Farmer, Longview Gardens was designed by Richmond, Virginia landscape architect Charles Gillette.

A student of the City Beautiful movement, Gillette's design for Longview Gardens consisted of a pattern of curvilinear streets on both sides of a designed parkway.

[2] The Longview Gardens neighborhood grew over a series of three separate phases: 1938–1940, 1948-1948, and 1959.

[2] Longview Gardens is the largest and most artistically designed mid-20th century subdivision in Raleigh and remains largely intact today.
