It was moved five miles in 1978 to a site near Hope Plantation.","why_significant":"The house has a documented 1763 construction date, fine intact interiors, and is one of two known gambrel-roofed houses with brick ends in North Carolina. It is considered an essential element in interpreting the development of the state's early architecture. Its move and restoration also offer a chance to study mid-to-late 18th century building technology.","narrative":"Built in 1763 for William and Elizabeth King on land granted by Lord Granville in 1758, this one-and-a-half-story frame house near Windsor has brick ends laid in Flemish bond, interior end T-stack chimneys and a gambrel roof. A chimney brick marked \"WK,\" \"E\" and \"1763\" records the date. Inside, a hall-and-parlor plan retains paneled walls, arched fireplaces and built-in corner cupboards. The Kings and later the Bazemore family owned the house until it was donated to the Historic Hope Foundation in 1974 on condition that it be moved. In 1978 it and an early smokehouse were relocated five miles to an open field northwest of Hope Plantation, where an academic restoration to its early 19th century look is under way. It is valued as one of two known brick-end gambrel-roof houses in North Carolina, with a well-documented history and intact interiors.","period_of_significance":"1700-1799 (specific date 1763)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian (described as the earlier, Georgian style King House); gambrel roof with Flemish bond brick ends","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Moved on March 22, 1978 to the Hope Plantation tract and undergoing an academic restoration to its early 19th century appearance; the house had been abandoned by 1975 before the move.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.319049-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/40/7190/47719040/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/71000570.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000570/84829a182d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000570/84829a182d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"NCDavid33","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1763_King-Bazemore_Exterior.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:1763_King-Bazemore_Exterior.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719040","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_House_(Windsor,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18153164"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/bertie-county/king-house-71000570/"}
