Summit Avenue Historic District, also known as the Dunleath Historic District and formally as the Charles B. Aycock Historic District, is a national historic district located at Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. The district encompasses 226 contributing buildings in a middle- and upper-class residential section of Greensboro. The houses were largely built between the 1890s and 1930s and include notable examples of Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, American Foursquare, and Bungalow / American Craftsman-style architecture. The Sigmund Sternberger House (1926) is listed separately. Other notable buildings include the John C. Clapp House (c. 1900–1905), Robert L. Potts House (c. 1900–1905), William B.
