Verdery.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the most high-style Colonial Revival residences in Fayetteville, combining Colonial and classical elements in a telescoping plan. It cites the unusual Ionic entrance surround and the arched stair window as distinctive, and states the house retains outstanding original integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1936 on a two-acre lot in Fayetteville's Sherwood Forest subdivision, the two-story brick house at 1428 Raeford Road was designed by Greensboro architect William C. Holleyman Jr. and constructed by local builders Reinecke & Dillehey for Dr. William C. Verdery, a physician who delivered many babies in Cumberland County. The house uses a telescoping plan, with a five-bay main block flanked by a two-story west wing and a one-story east kitchen wing. Its slate roof, brick quoins, keystones, belt courses and six-over-six sash windows add to the Colonial Revival character. The entrance surround, with an arched pediment and diamond-paneled frieze blocks supported by fluted Ionic pilasters, is noted as unusual among Fayetteville examples. A large round-arched window lights the stair hall, which holds an elliptical stair. A 1969 den addition by Paul H. McArthur Jr. sits recessed on the east side. The nomination treats the house as a rare, high-style local interpretation of the style.","period_of_significance":"1936","architect_builder":"Holleyman Jr., William C., architect; Reinecke & Dillehey, builder","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house is described as continuously inhabited by the family, and the document states it is held in trust by a bank.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:40.832101-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/0/7198/47719800/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/07000904.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000904/76239bbb07-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000904/76239bbb07-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Tdharris66","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr_William_C_Verdery_House.png\" rel=\"noopener\">Tdharris66</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:Dr_William_C_Verdery_House.png"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719800","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._William_C._Verdery_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18217605"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/cumberland-county/verdery-dr-william-c-house-07000904/"}
