It sits within a walled garden near the business district.","why_significant":"The house is a flamboyantly finished and extremely well-preserved example of Second Empire style, essentially unaltered. Its interior has a remarkable array of plaster and painted ornament, probably by the Bavarian-born local fresco painter Edward Zoeller. The form marks architecture and art as areas of significance, and it has remained in the same family since it was built.","narrative":"Behind a fence and a densely planted garden near Tarboro's business district stands a two-story Second Empire town house with a mansard roof, completed in 1885 for sisters Claudia and Kate Redmond. Its brick walls are covered in stucco scored to resemble stone, with heavy quoins, segmental-arched windows, round-arched dormers, slate roofing in a floral pattern, iron cresting and a wooden front porch. A separate brick kitchen, a fountain and a lily pond complete the grounds. Inside, the hall, library and parlor carry painted woodgraining, stenciled ceilings, gilded plaster cornices and medallions, probably the work of Edward Zoeller, a Bavarian-born fresco painter who worked in Edgecombe County. Kate Redmond married fertilizer merchant and knitting mill builder Jonathan F. Shackelford in the house in December 1885, and it has stayed in the family. Its largely unchanged exterior and interior, together with the family's furnishings and possessions, led to its recognition for architecture and art.","period_of_significance":"1885","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Second Empire","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition, unaltered and occupied; the separate kitchen is still used for daily cooking on a wood-burning stove.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:58.605326-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/24/7201/47720124/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/76001320.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"80002832","name":"Tarboro Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/tarboro-historic-district-80002832/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720124","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redmond-Shackelford_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19987764"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/edgecombe-county/redmond-shackelford-house-76001320/"}
