Completed in early 1909, the Harden Thomas Martin House—now known as Double Oaks—is one of only a handful of surviving examples of Colonial Revival style architecture in the city of Greensboro. It was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

​

The house is the only known residential design of G. Will Armfield (1848–1927), a Guilford County native who pursued a successful career as a dry goods merchant before taking up architecture in his late 50s. The home was built for Harden Thomas Martin (1857–1936, pictured to the right), a native of Rockingham County who operated stores in Ayersville and Reidsville before moving to Greensboro in 1909, where he entered semi-retirement and engaged in small-scale real estate development.

​

Members of the Martin family lived in and owned the home until 1973. In 1977, the house was sold to Charles R. Forrester, a Greensboro businessman and former chairman of the Greensboro Historic District Commission. Win and Ann Milam purchased the house in 1995. The Milams operated the home as a bed and breakfast between 1998 and 2007, and otherwise completed a full-scale restoration. In 2016, James and Amanda Keith became the new owners, and opened the home once again to the community.
