2013 Greensboro Junior League Showhouse Scheduled for Early Spring

The Junior League of Greensboro is excited to announce that “Greensboro’s Grandest House” – the Adamsleigh mansion has been selected as the 2013 ShowHouse. The Adamsleigh estate was designed and built for High Point textile magnate John Hampton “Hamp” Adams, a native of Adamsville, South Carolina and co-founder of Adams-Millis Corporation, the first company in High Point to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Adams also owned the vast property that is now known as “Adams Farm”, a large residential development not far from Adamsleigh.
The estate features 33 rooms, including 10 bedrooms, and totals 15,000 square feet. The estate covers 13.5 acres that include pools, a lake, tennis courts, a stone gazebo and a five-car garage.

Designed by Winston-Salem architect Luther Lashmit, who also designed Graylyn in Winston-Salem. Some have argued that Adamsleigh is North Carolina’s second most impressive house, behind Biltmore in Asheville.

This year's Junior League ShowHouse is a fundraising event benefiting Cone Elementary. The ShowHouse features a unique home with fabulous architecture, on loan for this event, which will be transformed by local designers and temporarily opened to the public.


Designers have been selected to transform their assigned room, reflecting their personal tastes and ideas. Landscape designers will update the surrounding outside areas of the home, creating attractive lawn and garden spaces for the public to explore. The house will be opened to the public, offering the designers an opportunity to showcase their decorating talents to the local community.

This year's talented designers include:
Patti Allen, Eric Cohler, Kara Cox, Jack Fhillips, Debby Gomulka, Lisa Kahn, Suzanne Kasler, Warren Kessler, Ann Legette, John Loceke, Jane Matteson, Leslie May, Randy McManus, Lisa Mende, India Miller, Leslie Moore, Jason Oliver Nixon, Bradshaw Orrell, Anita Phipps, Miles Redd, Cindy Smith, Megan Winters, and Tracy Zeller

The ShowHouse will be open to the public April 20-May 5, 2013.
