A. Cannady with builder Edgar Gooch, plus farm outbuildings, a cemetery and agricultural landscape.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is a remarkably intact example of early twentieth-century tobacco farming in Wake County (Criterion A). It also holds that the stylish I-house and the unusually complete group of outbuildings represent Queen Anne-influenced vernacular architecture and early twentieth-century farm construction methods (Criterion C). It illustrates one man's rise from tenant farmer to landowner.","narrative":"Cannady-Brogden Farm is a tobacco farmstead in the Sandy Plain community of northwestern Wake County, near Creedmoor. S. A. Cannady, who came from Granville County, bought the 122-acre farm in 1899 and lived in a small hall-parlor house. As tobacco brought prosperity, he hired local builder Edgar Gooch in 1904 to add a two-story triple-gable I-house with sawn and turned Queen Anne trim, using timber cut on the farm. The original dwelling became the rear wing. The nominated land includes about thirteen contributing buildings and structures, among them a smokehouse, washhouse, covered well, packhouse, stackhouse, corn crib, mule barn and two log tobacco barns, along with a family cemetery and open fields. Tom Brogden, the longtime tenant, bought the farm in 1950 and his family kept farming it. The property was listed for its intact record of tobacco agriculture during the first half of the twentieth century and for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"1904-1950","architect_builder":"Gooch, Edgar (builder)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still a working farmstead with the main house occupied by heirs of Tom Brogden; chickens and other animals are kept, and some outbuildings have been repaired.
