It also holds agricultural outbuildings and a tenant complex dating to the early and mid-twentieth century.","why_significant":"The farm physically records the agricultural and domestic changes on farms in northwestern Pitt County from the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Its house shows two major remodelings, and its outbuildings reflect the shift to tobacco, tenant farming and modern farming practices. The same family has owned the land for generations, and the property has been recognized as a North Carolina Century Farm.","narrative":"Dupree-Moore Farm is a 185.85-acre agricultural district in northwest Pitt County, about two and a half miles from Falkland and a mile west of the Tar River. Its centerpiece is a frame plantation house begun between 1800 and 1825 as a one-and-a-half-story hall-and-parlor dwelling for Thomas Dupree. Remodelings around 1848 and 1861 turned it into a two-story Greek Revival house with a rear T-addition. Restoration began in 2011. Around it stand a smokehouse, tobacco grading houses, a mule barn, a packhouse, a brick pump house, an equipment shelter built from materials salvaged after Hurricane Hazel, a sweet potato house and a tenant house. These are grouped in three clusters: the plantation seat, a tobacco grouping and a tenant complex. The site of a circa 1805 grist mill lies along Otter Creek. Together the buildings show how a local farm moved from mixed crops and milling toward tobacco, tenant labor and mechanized farming. Family ownership continues, and the farm has received a North Carolina Century Farm certificate.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival and Italianate elements (main house overall Greek Revival in character)","criteria":[],"status_note":"The main house was undergoing restoration and rehabilitation begun in 2011; the form lists current function as single dwelling along with vacant/not in use for some resources.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:53.338167-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/81/7217/47721781/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/12000579.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721781","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupree%E2%80%93Moore_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19720708"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/pitt-county/dupree-moore-farm-12000579/"}
