The house dates to about 1848 and was built by Charles Lewis Hinton.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the most pure examples of Greek Revival residential style surviving in Wake County, with molding derived from Asher Benjamin's 1830 pattern book. The outbuildings are described as excellent examples of plantation support structures, some with Greek Revival details. The complex was moved in 2005, and the nomination argues it meets the registration requirements for moved properties because it retains architectural integrity.","narrative":"Built around 1848 by Charles Lewis Hinton, the Midway house is a two-story, single-pile, hip-roofed Greek Revival dwelling in eastern Wake County. Its single-story front porch has a flat roof carried on four Doric columns, which also forms a balcony off the second-story hall. The interior follows a typical Greek Revival plan with a wide center hall, and its woodwork draws on published pattern-book designs. The complex includes a kitchen, a smokehouse, a one-room schoolhouse and a small dollhouse, several of which predate the main house. The outbuildings date from the early to mid-nineteenth century, and some have Greek Revival details while others are plainer. The property is significant for its architecture, which the nomination describes as a restrained and unusually pure expression of the style for the county's planter class. The house and outbuildings were moved in 2005 and rebuilt to match their earlier arrangement.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1820 - ca. 1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"MID-19TH CENTURY/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Moved in August 2005 from its original location about two miles southwest to a new ten-acre parcel; the house and surviving outbuildings were restored and additions removed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.488415-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/41/7185/47718541/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/07000543.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000543/6a26d6fb39-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000543/6a26d6fb39-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Nicholas Oren Rawlings","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Midway_Plantation_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicholas Oren Rawlings</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Midway_Plantation_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718541","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Plantation_House_and_Outbuildings","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17081181"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/wake-county/midway-plantation-house-and-outbuildings-07000543/"}
