It was probably built by Lawson Henderson soon after his marriage in July 1798.","why_significant":"The house is a good example of the two-story brick Federal houses built in the area in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, with unusual vernacular Federal interiors and unique twentieth-century wooden ceiling medallions. It is also historically significant as the birthplace of James Pinckney Henderson, the first governor of the state of Texas.","narrative":"Woodside is a large Federal plantation house on the outskirts of Lincolnton, North Carolina. It is a two-story brick building with a gable roof, four bays wide and three deep, set on a random granite foundation, with Flemish bond walls and exterior end chimneys. The main facade has two identical entrances. Inside, a Quaker plan holds vernacular Federal mantels, and twentieth-century wooden ceiling medallions carved to resemble plaster show grapes, musical instruments, and fruits and vegetables. Lawson Henderson, a county sheriff and later clerk of the county court, probably built the house soon after his 1798 marriage. His son James Pinckney Henderson is thought to have been born there in 1808. He later went to Texas, served in its republic, and became the first governor of the state. The Ramseur family bought the plantation in 1848 and kept it for over a century.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Probably built by Lawson Henderson","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition on its original site; the form checks private residence as present use and also marks the property as unoccupied.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:58.087502-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/86/7210/47721086/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/73001357.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721086","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodside_(Lincolnton,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23405866"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/lincoln-county/woodside-73001357/"}
