The house is known as Jubilee Farm.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a vernacular regional form with academic Greek Revival details drawn from published patternbooks by Minard Lefever and William H. Ranlett. Its high degree of architectural integrity is described as remarkable among antebellum dwellings in eastern North Carolina. The form, plan and stair placement are presented as reflecting regional building traditions.","narrative":"Built around 1853 on the Poplar Neck plantation near Edenton, this two-and-a-half story, double-pile house has three bays, a brick foundation, weatherboarded walls and a metal roof. Augustus Moore, a lawyer and judge who had bought the land in 1835, died in 1851, and his widow Susan Armistead Moore had the house erected in 1853 as the family's primary residence. Its full tiered porches on the front and rear, Doric posts and Greek Revival trim are regarded as academic examples of patternbook design, applied to a regional plan with a central passage and an offset stair. The house is noted for retaining original features on both floors, including all eight fireplace mantels and much of its woodwork. Its survival with this integrity is considered remarkable among antebellum houses in eastern North Carolina. The house is significant for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1853","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house is described as intact, retaining its original porches, siding, windows, doors, floors, mantels and stairs; the agricultural land is under conservation easement.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.387735-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/1/7196/47719601/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/05000436.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719601","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_J._Armistead_Moore_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18154617"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/chowan-county/moore-susan-j-armistead-house-05000436/"}
