The nominated area also includes an old gold mine site, a brick outbuilding and a log dwelling.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an important example of the Federal period brick houses typical of Piedmont North Carolina, notable for its brickwork, a variation of the Quaker plan and an unusual arch-linked double chimney. It has local historical significance as the home of an early Quaker settler. The nearby Gardner gold and copper mine site, operated as the Gardner Hill Mining Company, adds historical and archaeological value.","narrative":"Built about 1827 east of Jamestown in Guilford County, this two-story brick house was the homeplace of Stephen Gardner, a Guilford-born Quaker who acquired land grants in the area beginning in 1779. The house is four bays wide, with brick laid in common bond, six-over-six windows with heavy stone sills, and a pair of chimneys at the north end that join above an unusual arch and rise as one. Inside, a modified Quaker plan places a central hall beside one large room and two smaller ones, with Federal and Georgian style mantels and distinctive interior stone window sills. A rear wing is said to be the original kitchen. After Gardner's death in 1830, a gold mine was found on family land, and in 1856 the property was sold to William Millis Wiley, whose Gardner Hill Mining Company produced copper ore until the mid-1870s. The mine site, a brick outbuilding and a log dwelling lie within the nominated area.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date ca. 1827)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal period; modified Quaker plan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as a private residence in good condition, altered, on its original site; marked as unoccupied at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.501927-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/34/7205/47720534/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/74001350.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720534","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardner_House_(Jamestown,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461905"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/guilford-county/gardner-house-74001350/"}
