It is tied to Captain Patrick Boggan, a Regulator, Revolutionary captain and co-founder of the town. The wing is associated with Alexander Little, a lawyer and judge, and his son Julius Little.","narrative":"Two linked Federal-style houses at 210 Wade Street in Wadesboro, North Carolina, make up this property: a one-story frame house and a two-story wing once attached to it. The smaller house, probably built soon after Wadesboro was established in 1787, is the oldest surviving building in the town. It is credited to Captain Patrick Boggan, an Irish immigrant who took part in the Regulator protests of the 1760s, served as a captain in the Revolution, and helped found the town. He is believed to have built it for his daughter Eleanor and her husband, William Hammond. Alexander Little, a lawyer and later judge, bought the house in 1839, and the wing is believed to have been built for him. His son Julius Little hosted visiting scientists during the 1900 solar eclipse. In the twentieth century the two buildings were separated, restored, and set apart by a boxwood garden. Since 1970 they have been open to the public as house museums furnished with period pieces.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Captain Patrick Boggan (one-story house, believed built by him for his daughter Eleanor and her husband William Hammond)","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Restored by the Anson County Historical Society with the state archives department; opened as house museums in 1970; condition listed as excellent.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.632151-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/30/7189/47718930/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/72000923.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000923/4620c4ad97-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000923/4620c4ad97-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BOGGAN-HAMMOND_HOUSE_AND_ALEXANDER_LITTLE_WING;_ANSON_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</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:BOGGAN-HAMMOND_HOUSE_AND_ALEXANDER_LITTLE_WING;_ANSON_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718930","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boggan-Hammond_House_and_Alexander_Little_Wing","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17510872"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/anson-county/boggan-hammond-house-and-alexander-little-wing-72000923/"}
