It was probably built about 1795 near Conetoe and moved to its present site in 1969.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house as an excellent example of a typical eastern North Carolina farmhouse of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It has an unusual diagonal vernacular entablature and largely original hardware. It has been restored and opened as a museum of early North Carolina rural life.","narrative":"Now operated as the Pender Museum, this small frame farmhouse at 1018 St. Andrews Street in Tarboro was probably built about 1795 by Amos and Fanny Lewis on their farm near Conetoe. It is one story and three bays wide, with beaded weatherboards, two reconstructed exterior end chimneys, brick-pier foundations, and a front shed porch on tapered columns. Its cypress-shingled roof rests on an unusual diagonal vernacular entablature with moulded and pierced dentils. Inside, a hall and parlor are finished with paneled dados, and traces of graining and marbleizing were found during restoration. The farm passed through the Lewis, Everett, Walston and Bulluck families before the house was moved to town in 1969. The Edgecombe County Historical Society restored it and furnished it with period pieces. It is listed as a representative example of the typical eastern North Carolina farmhouse and is open as a museum of early rural life.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Probably built by Amos and Fanny Lewis","architectural_style":"Eastern North Carolina farmhouse (vernacular)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Restored by the Edgecombe County Historical Society, in excellent condition, and open to the public as a museum; moved from the Bulluck farm in 1969.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.930297-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/18/7201/47720118/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/71000585.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720118","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walston-Bulluck_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20679855"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/edgecombe-county/walston-bulluck-house-71000585/"}
