Beane Jr. and Agnes Beane and designed by architect Willis Irvin.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the property is significant locally under Criterion C for architecture, as an academically designed Colonial Revival house by Augusta, Georgia architect Willis Irvin. It also reflects the taste of its well-traveled original owners. Its large landscaped waterfront setting is described as unique in the Wilmington area.","narrative":"Gabriel's Landing is a 1936 Colonial Revival house on roughly 39 landscaped acres beside Wrightsville Sound in Wilmington. Built as the estate Old Oak Point for Frank and Agnes Beane, it was designed by Augusta, Georgia architect Willis Irvin and modeled on the family's ancestral home, Rosemary Cottage. The five-bay, one-and-a-half-story white-painted brick house has ceramic tile roofing, a front piazza and a center-hall plan with Georgian, Federal and Greek Revival interior details. Red wood-frame outbuildings, including a guest cottage, cabin, barn and stable, line the drive, and an old tabby pit survives on the grounds. The Wright family owned the land from 1800 to 1929 and again from 1947, and the property was named for eighteenth-century owner Gabriel Johnston. It was listed for its architecture at the local level. Its scale, waterfront setting and native plantings are described as unusual in a heavily developed area.","period_of_significance":"1936","architect_builder":"Willis Irvin, Architect","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still a private residence with guest housing, stable, barn and pasture; the driveway has been restored and the kitchen remodeled in 1994.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:53.735206-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/24/7215/47721524/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/08000382.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000382/f919f2989c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000382/f919f2989c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Edward Orde","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gabriels_Landing_in_Airlie_Gardens.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Edward Orde</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gabriels_Landing_in_Airlie_Gardens.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721524","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel%27s_Landing","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461885"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/new-hanover-county/gabriels-landing-08000382/"}
