Richmond Reid bought 305 acres in 1844 and enlarged the holdings, reaching 663 acres by 1860. The main house is a two-story, four-bay frame Greek Revival building of vernacular form, with a center hall and interior mantels and door frames inspired by pattern book designs. Around it stand a kitchen, corncrib and granary, smokehouses, a blacksmith shop and a large two-story barn with a second-story threshing floor reached by a ramp, where horses walked to stamp grain from its husks. A smaller secondary complex to the south includes a possible former slave quarters later used for tenants. The farm was listed as a well-preserved example of the moderate-sized, self-sufficient farms that typified the North Carolina Piedmont before the Civil War. The land is still farmed and has stayed in the Reid family.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as farm and woodland and has remained in Reid family ownership; the secondary complex's log barn is described as falling into ruin.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:58.543309-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/22/7199/47719922/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/79001700.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719922","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reid_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18393945"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/davidson-county/reid-farm-79001700/"}
