It also includes roadbeds of the Great Wagon Road and Old Hollow Road and an \"open pond\" used by travelers. Together these resources show how a Piedmont farm family lived and changed over time at a strategic crossroads.","narrative":"Clayton Family Farm occupies about twenty-five acres where Stanleyville Drive meets NC 66 in northern Forsyth County, now at the edge of Winston-Salem. The land has belonged to one family since the late eighteenth century. Its fifteen resources include the ca. 1800 weatherboarded log John Clayton House, the 1879 two-story brick Matthew C. Clayton House with Italianate details, a store built around 1910, log and frame outbuildings, a family cemetery, and a pond site. Twelve resources contribute to its historic character. Two old roadbeds, the Great Wagon Road and Old Hollow Road, crossed here and put the family at a busy crossroads. Travelers watered their animals at the \"open pond,\" which appears on an eighteenth-century map of Wachovia. The farm grew corn, tobacco, wheat and potatoes, and the store served the neighborhood. The property keeps a high degree of integrity of setting and materials, though only a fraction of the original Clayton land remains.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Italianate; Other: Single-pen log; Other: I-house","criteria":[],"status_note":"The land is no longer farmed.
