It is the only dwelling left in the old village.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a handsome, essentially intact late Georgian dwelling, among the oldest and most ambitious buildings in Scotland County. It was built for James Stewart, a Scots-born settler who became a state legislator and U.S. congressman. It was also the birthplace of Joseph R. Hawley, later Connecticut governor, U.S. senator and president of the United States Centennial Commission.","narrative":"Standing in a grove of hardwoods and cedars, this two-story frame house is the only dwelling left from the old village of Stewartsville near Laurinburg. Built around 1800 for James Stewart, a Scots-born farmer, storekeeper and postmaster, it combines Georgian and Federal features. The main block is five bays wide, with a full-length front porch, a recessed rear porch, and a later nineteenth-century wing. Inside, the west parlor has a detailed cornice with dentils and a fret course, and Georgian-style mantels appear in the principal rooms. Stewart served in the state legislature and in Congress. Joseph R. Hawley was born in the house in 1826 and later became Connecticut's governor, a U.S. senator and president of the United States Centennial Commission. Dr. John Malloy, a physician, later owned the property, and it stayed in the Malloy family from 1900. Its age, ambitious design, largely intact condition and ties to Stewart and Hawley are the grounds for its listing.","period_of_significance":"1700-1799, 1800-1899 (specific date ca. 1800)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Transitional Georgian-Federal (described in the significance statement as late Georgian)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition, altered, and on its original site.
