The expansion area contains 192 outbuildings, of which 106, or 55 percent, are contributing. The most numerous outbuildings are garages, of which there are 133, with 80, or 60 percent, being contributing. Many contributing garages are one-car, gable- or hip-roofed buildings covered either with weatherboards or vertical board siding, and many have storage areas either incorporated into the building or attached as a shed. While many of these garages, such as the 1923-1931 hip-roofed garage (#74-a) behind the ca. 1893 Captain David M. Pugh House lack any indication of style, other garages echo the character of the accompanying dwelling.

Many, such as the hip-roofed garage (#229-a) behind the American Foursquare house of George A. Twiddy, are not only handsome complements to the residence, but eloquent statements to the rising importance of the automobile in American life. The expansion area contains numerous examples of garages that reflect each of the period's domestic styles, with notable illustrations being the pedimented Colonial Revival garage (#228-a) behind the 1923-26 Turner-Nixon House; the splendid two-story gable-front Craftsman Bungalow garage (#298-a) behind the 1922 Henry W. Sanders House; and the brick garage (#302-a) behind the 1937 Tudor Revival style Roland L. Garrett House. Many of the garages that are noncontributing because of their age, such as the pair of metal-clad gable-front buildings behind 313 and 315 West Fearing Street (#s 200-a and 201-a), continue in the gable-roofed tradition and were built before 1970.

The contributing outbuildings, other than garages, are limited in number within the expansion area. Most of these are gable- or shed-roofed storage buildings, such as the atypical multiple-room shed (#190-a) behind the ca. 1895 Keaton-Bundy House and the more representative one-room storage shed (#189-a) behind the ca. 1902 Albert Luton House; both were erected between 1914 and 1931. There is only one stable that remains identifiable as such, a large two-story gable-front building (#373-a) behind the ca. 1900 Zenas Jenninqs House, although other stables or carriage houses may survive as remodeled garages. Erected for a farmer, the Jennings stable has a loft and a later shed addition for the family automobile.

The oldest and most important outbuildings in the expansion area are the extraordinary pair of brick buildings behind the 1849 Greek Revival-style Charles-Hussey House. Each of the nearly identical square buildings, a dairy (#103-a) and what is said to have been a winery (103-b), is sheltered by a pyramidal roof terminated by a pointed finial; critical ventilation for the dairy is provided by lattice panels at the top of each elevation. They are the only known brick antebellum outbuildings in the Albemarle region and are among the most important antebellum outbuildings in northeastern North Carolina.

Fences provide an important defining element in the landscape of the expansion area. There are more than a dozen decorative wooden fences that delineate front yards and many more utilitarian wooden fences that enclose rear yards. Only those fences that constitute an important visual component along the street are included within the inventory list.

Few fences, exemplified by the extensive but simple picket fence (#9-b) that encloses the side and rear yards at 508 Cedar Street, are old enough to be considered contributing. However, several picket fences, such as #271-b at the ca. 1935 William C. Foreman House, and #343-a at the 1942 Julien E. Aydlett House, are exact replacements for earlier fences, while other picket fences, such #272-a at the ca. 1891 Old-Scott House, were erected recently, each provides a visual element that was common to residential streetscapes during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Documentary photographs of other sections of the city during this period record the preponderance of wooden fences throughout the city.
