The farm was established in 1829 for Edward and Rebecca Davis, and the main house was built in 1852.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the complex is a well-preserved, complete mid-nineteenth century plantation with a farm still in working use. The main house is the only documented Warren County house by builder Albert Gamaliel Jones, whose handling of Greek Revival details is distinctive. The property is also tied to antebellum plantation agriculture in the Roanoke Valley region.","narrative":"Two-story frame house near Inez, Warren County, built in 1852 by the builder Albert Gamaliel Jones for Edward and Rebecca Davis, on a farm first established in 1829. The house is three bays wide and two deep, with a shallow hip roof, corner pilasters with spool-like turned moldings, and a porch with fluted shafts. Interior finishes include marbleized parlor work, Doric colonnettes on the west parlor mantel, and a wainscoted east parlor. The complex also includes an early kitchen house said to date from about 1790 and moved to the site, a smokehouse, outhouse, well, barns and a stable said to date from early in the nineteenth century. The property is important as the only documented Warren County house by Jones, whose work also includes buildings in Franklin and Hertford counties. It also reflects antebellum plantation agriculture in the region, with an 1860 tobacco crop and a substantial enslaved labour force, and it preserves Greek Revival detailing adapted to local needs.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Albert Gamaliel Jones (builder)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Maintained as a working farm by the grandson of the original couple, per the form.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:40.861005-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/95/7226/47722695/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/79001760.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722695","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_O%27Woods","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20712076"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/warren-county/lake-owoods-79001760/"}
