Its decorative exterior woodwork, colored gable glass, and interior beadboard walls and ceilings, including diagonal beadboard in the west front room, are cited as distinctive features.","narrative":"Built about 1901 by Burdett Woody and his wife Eura on land she received from her mother's 1901 division of the Durham family property, this two-story frame house follows the triple-A I-house plan common to North Carolina farmsteads of its time. Its front gable, boxed eaves with applied diamond medallions, corner boards with elaborate capitals, and stained-glass gable windows set it apart from most surviving examples in the county. Inside, beadboard walls and ceilings remain, and the west front room has diagonal beadboard, rib molding, and a bull's eye ceiling medallion. The nomination regards the house as one of the best surviving examples of this type in Chatham County, and it stands with a contributing smokehouse of the same period. Later alterations from the 1940s and 1950s, including a sliding-glass door and replaced windows, were reversed in a recent restoration that followed a period of vacancy.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1901","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Other: triple-A I-house","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Restored recently; the document describes the house as having been restored and an addition built, and says the house was vacant for about four years after Annie Mae Johnson's death before the current owners restored it.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.01645-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/93/7174/47717493/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/08000773.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717493","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdett_Woody_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18159345"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/chatham-county/woody-burdett-house-08000773/"}
