It also illustrates small in-town farm life in eastern North Carolina (Criterion A, social history), since the outbuildings and landscape survive intact. A county architectural survey author is cited as saying no other in-town farm there retains this integrity.","narrative":"Built around 1900-1904 in the northeast part of Winterville, this two-story, L-shaped frame house sits on a long, narrow town lot that still holds a barn, garage, wash house and the remains of a family's gardens. The house has a wraparound porch, a sleeping porch, and an ell containing the kitchen and dining room, reached by a separate corridor. A fireplace with a masonry shelf was used to keep plants warm in winter. The Ange family bought the property in 1905 and ran it as an in-town farm, with a cow, poultry, an orchard, vegetable and flower beds, and ornamental gardens including a concrete water garden. The nomination values the property because the house, outbuildings and landscape survive together, showing how town lots were used for food and daily work in the early twentieth century. It is now a museum, owned by a local historical society.","period_of_significance":"1904-1949","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Other: Vernacular Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current function is listed as a museum, with storage use in a secondary structure.
