Sloan, with agricultural and domestic outbuildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries on 44.96 acres.","why_significant":"The farm is significant under Criterion A for agriculture and Criterion C for architecture. It retains an intact grouping of farm buildings tied to two families, Sloan and Throneburg, who both ran sawmill businesses from the property. The house is an example of a vernacular I-house with Greek Revival and Italian Villa influences.","narrative":"Set on a knoll in rural northeast Burke County, this farm centers on a two-story, three-bay I-house built in 1882 by J.H. Sloan for his family. A one-story rear wing, brick chimneys, a metal roof over an original shingle roof, and a three-part entrance with sidelights characterize the weatherboard dwelling. Around it stand a servant dwelling with ham-curing and wood-storage rooms, a carriage house or garage, a wheat house, a corncrib, a barn, and a root cellar dug into the hillside, along with the remains of a wash house and a pond once used to irrigate the kitchen garden. The 44.96 acres are what remains of a 580-acre tract. The property is recognized for its agricultural history and its architecture. Both James Sloan and later owner Oscar Throneburg, who bought the farm in 1912, operated mobile sawmills, using the farm to feed and house families and the many horses and mules the work required.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1882 - 1951 (Agriculture); Ca. 1882 - 1926 (Architecture)","architect_builder":"Sloan, J.H., builder","architectural_style":"Other: I-house; Greek Revival; Italian Villa","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house is occupied by a life-estate holder and the farm is managed by a family member; the form's current functions list also includes Vacant.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:52.576978-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/85/7192/47719285/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/02000110.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000110/ca317743c7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000110/ca317743c7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"rossograph","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sloan-Throneburg_Farm.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">rossograph</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sloan-Throneburg_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719285","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloan%E2%80%93Throneburg_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18158088"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/burke-county/sloan-throneburg-farm-02000110/"}
