It was constructed circa 1875.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is the most intact example of a late nineteenth-century rural I-house in Henderson County, retaining a significant degree of exterior and interior architectural integrity. It combines Italianate details such as round-arched gable vents and curved door glass with classical details such as flat cornice boards and capped corner boards.","narrative":"Built circa 1875 on a rise north of Hendersonville, the Clough H. Rice House is a two-story, side-gable I-house with a three-bay east façade, a central second-story porch, and a two-story rear ell. Its weatherboard walls stand on fieldstone and granite foundations, and two stone interior chimneys serve seven fireplaces. The house is attributed to the Rice family, farmers from Abbeville County, South Carolina, and Clough H. Rice is believed to have been its first owner after he settled on the site between 1870 and 1880. Its interior keeps a center-hall plan, original random-width pine floors in several rooms, plaster walls, four-raised-panel doors, and a center-hall mantel with an original mirrored over-mantel. The house is regarded as Henderson County's most intact example of a late nineteenth-century rural I-house. It was listed for its architecture, combining Italianate features such as round-arched gable vents with classical cornice and corner-board details. Its interior and exterior retain a high degree of original material.","period_of_significance":"circa 1875","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Other: I-house, with Italianate and classical details","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house has been restored after significant water damage, and the nomination notes a later kitchen conversion of the enclosed rear porch; the document does not state it is in use or vacant.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:40.971135-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/5/7208/47720805/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/11000974.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000974/ff92b2ac32-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000974/ff92b2ac32-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Upstateherd","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clough_H._Rice_House_-_Hendersonville.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Upstateherd</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:Clough_H._Rice_House_-_Hendersonville.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720805","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clough_H._Rice_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19987794"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/henderson-county/rice-clough-h-house-11000974/"}
