Enterprise Street

Enterprise Street very likely took its name as a reflection of Durham's growth and resulting building boom of the 1920s. The street is not listed in the 1923 Hill Directory, but appears on a city map of 1925 running west from Pine (now South Roxboro) Street to Overhill Terrace in the then-new Forest Hills subdivision. By 1937, the former Division Street between Pine and Fayetteville had become East Enterprise Street, a configuration that remained until Hayti's urban renewal in the 1970s. Enterprise's intersection with Fayetteville was closed and the street curved south to intersect Umstead mid-block. A stub of the old street became Fisher Place.
