The house was built around 1850 over an earlier one-room house dating from the eighteenth century.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the most complete examples of Greek Revival domestic architecture in Hertford County, with a center-hall plan, a front portico, and fluted architraves with corner blocks. It states the house retains a higher degree of integrity of setting, workmanship and materials than most other surviving Hertford County examples from the period.","narrative":"Built around 1850 in the Winton vicinity of Hertford County, the King Parker House is a two-story, three-bay frame house with a center-hall plan, a front portico with Italianate fretwork supports, and fluted Greek Revival architraves with square corner blocks. It was built by King Parker, a farmer who acquired about two hundred acres around 1840 and enlarged an earlier one-room house on the property. The house retains an eighteenth-century section, and its interior includes faux graining and stone-painted walls that were recreated during restoration beginning in 1977. It is regarded as one of the most intact examples of vernacular Greek Revival domestic architecture in the county, and its integrity of setting, workmanship and materials exceeds that of most other surviving Hertford County examples from the period. The property is significant for its architecture, as the house shows how the style reached rural farm households in North Carolina in the mid-nineteenth century.","period_of_significance":"Circa 1850","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Restored by the current owners beginning in 1977; the tenant house is vacant and in disrepair.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.390251-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/43/7208/47720843/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/02001663.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720843","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Parker_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19987458"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/hertford-county/parker-king-house-02001663/"}
