Its streets form a dense grid of South First through Fifth streets and East and West Holt, Jackson, Lee and McKinley streets.","why_significant":"The district is nominated under Criterion C for architecture at the local level as a dense and intact concentration of mostly domestic buildings from the first half of the twentieth century in a Piedmont railroad community. It contains local interpretations of Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Period Cottage, Tudor Revival, Minimal Traditional and Ranch styles, along with vernacular houses and Gothic Revival and Colonial Revival churches.","narrative":"Old South Mebane is a compact residential district of about 103 acres lying just south of the downtown core of Mebane, North Carolina. Its grid of streets holds 255 contributing resources, most of them wood-frame houses of one and one-half to two stories, many with brick veneer. The houses were built mainly between about 1900 and 1961 and show the range of styles popular nationally during that span, interpreted locally. Notable examples include a ca. 1900 Queen Anne house at 413 South Fifth Street with a semi-hexagonal corner tower, and a ca. 1920 Dutch Colonial Revival house at 500 South Fifth Street. Craftsman bungalows, Cape Cods, Period Cottages and Minimal Traditional houses also appear throughout. Churches include the 1914 Mebane Presbyterian Church, a Gothic Revival building. The district is significant as a dense, largely intact example of the town's early twentieth-century residential growth.","period_of_significance":"c. 1900-1961","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne; Colonial Revival; Craftsman; Period Cottage; Minimal Traditional; Ranch; Gothic Revival; Tudor Revival; vernacular forms","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.667692-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/34/7188/47718834/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/11000953.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":null,"wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_South_Mebane_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17560736"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/alamance-county/old-south-mebane-historic-district-boundary-increase-13000933/"}
