Construction began after 1793 and was completed in 1803 for David Stone.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house as an example of the emerging Federal style in a large country house, with fine details and a sophisticated roof form. It also marks the home of David Stone, who served as a judge, U.S. Senator and Governor of North Carolina. The placement of the principal rooms on the second floor reflects influence from sophisticated Carolina houses such as the Miles Brewton house in Charleston.","narrative":"Hope Plantation is a two-story frame mansion about four miles northwest of Windsor in Bertie County, North Carolina. Built over a high brick basement and completed in 1803, it has a five-bay facade, a pedimented double portico with Chinese Chippendale railings, a modillion cornice and a deck-on-hip roof with a railed captain's walk. Inside, the library and drawing room occupy the second floor, and the library once held more than 1,400 volumes belonging to David Stone. Stone received the Hope tract from his father in 1793 and held many offices, including state legislator, Superior Court judge, U.S. Senator and Governor of North Carolina. The house is regarded as an example of the emerging Federal style in a large country house. Its chimney arrangement reflects older vernacular forms, and the upstairs principal rooms show the influence of Charleston's Miles Brewton house. A historic foundation owns the property and operates it as a museum.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1803)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition marked good, altered, on its original site; owned by a historic foundation and used as a museum, with preservation work in progress at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:55.858915-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/65/7190/47719065/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/70000441.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/70000441/44bb252d29-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/70000441/44bb252d29-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"NCDavid33","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Front_of_1803_Hope_Mansion.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">NCDavid33</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Front_of_1803_Hope_Mansion.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719065","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Plantation","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14707970"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/bertie-county/hope-plantation-70000441/"}
