Its central block dates from the late eighteenth century, with an east wing added in the early nineteenth century and a two-story west wing added later.","why_significant":"The house was the home of Dennis Heartt, founder and nearly fifty-year editor of the influential Hillsborough Recorder, one of North Carolina's outstanding nineteenth-century newspapers. Future governor William W. Holden lived there as one of Heartt's apprentices. The house is also an unpretentious late eighteenth century dwelling expanded over time to meet the needs of later occupants.","narrative":"Heartsease, at 113 East Queen Street in Hillsborough, is a frame house that grew in stages over nearly two centuries. A small three-bay central block from the late eighteenth century was joined by a one-and-one-half-story east wing in the early nineteenth century and a two-story pedimented west wing later. Interior features include a Georgian-style parlor mantel, molded arches beside the chimney, and an unusual triangular fireplace in the east wing. The house takes its name from the Heartt family. Dennis Heartt, who founded the Hillsborough Recorder in 1820 and edited it for nearly fifty years, lived here with his family, and daughters Caroline and Henrietta Heartt held title from 1837. Apprentices and printers lived in the household, among them William W. Holden, later governor of North Carolina. A local tradition links the house to Governor Thomas Burke, but the nomination found no evidence for it. His daughter owned the property for a time. The house is a private residence.","period_of_significance":"18th and 19th centuries","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition, altered, on its original site, and used as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:58.439465-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/66/7216/47721666/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/73001362.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001362/1360e6ca14-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001362/1360e6ca14-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Archie A.
