The Wilbur and Martha Carter House, a historic residence in Greensboro, North Carolina, exemplifies the Modern Movement aesthetic of post-war American domestic architecture. Built in 1951, the one-story dwelling adopts an "L"-shaped plan with two intersecting gable-roofed wings, a carport, recessed entrance, and a striking masonry chimney. Its material palette—native bluestone, red brick, and wormy chestnut siding—reflects a careful integration of regional materials and modernist design principles influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian philosophy. A contributing horse barn and shed complete the property. The house was designated to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
