It centers on a two-story Greek Revival weatherboard house built in 1833 and seven outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding example of Greek Revival architecture. Its interior mantels and moldings reflect designs from Asher Benjamin's 1830 pattern book, Practical House Carpenter. It is considered significant at the local level.","narrative":"Harmony Plantation, also called the Montague-Jones Farm, occupies fifteen acres in northeast Wake County, North Carolina. Its main building is a two-story, single-pile Greek Revival house with weatherboard siding, a hipped roof, a double-tier pedimented portico and a cut-stone foundation. Dr. Henry W. Montague and his wife Anne Jones Montague had it built in 1833, and the farm was worked with enslaved labor. Inside, a central-passage plan holds mantels and moldings that appear to follow Asher Benjamin's Practical House Carpenter, published in 1830, with finishes that vary from room to room. Seven outbuildings, mostly from the early and mid-twentieth century, stand west of the house, including a doctor's office dating to 1833. The Jones family owned the farm for most of the twentieth century. The property is considered locally significant for its architecture and as one of the more intact mid-nineteenth-century farm complexes in an area facing growing residential development.","period_of_significance":"1833","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Current function is single dwelling with secondary structures; the surrounding land is used for horse grazing, show rings and paddocks.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:53.093291-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/43/7185/47718543/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/07001504.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718543","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmony_Plantation","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5659585"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/wake-county/harmony-plantation-07001504/"}
