The house was erected in 1914 for Neva Flowers Barbee and her husband, physician Dr. George Sprite Barbee.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is locally significant under Criterion C as a notable example of a Craftsman foursquare. Its bold Craftsman exterior, masonry construction, and eclectic interior mixing Craftsman and Colonial Revival elements, along with a rare Prairie-style stained-glass window, are presented as distinguishing it. The nomination also states it retains excellent architectural integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1914 in Zebulon, a railroad town in southeastern Wake County, this two-story brick house is a Craftsman foursquare with a hip roof, a porte-cochere and a wraparound porch supported by grouped pilasters on brick piers. Very large nine-, twelve- and twenty-four-over-one sash windows, cast-stone lintels and sills, and deep eaves give the exterior strong horizontal lines. Inside, Craftsman and Colonial Revival details appear together, including oak floors, fireplaces with brick surrounds, and a dining room with paneled wainscot and a catalog-style mantel. A single west-facing Prairie-style stained-glass window is rarely seen in North Carolina. Dr. George Sprite Barbee, a physician, practiced in the town from 1916. The house is regarded as Zebulon's only masonry Craftsman foursquare and among the most elaborate examples of the type in Wake County.","period_of_significance":"1914","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th & Early 20th C.
