It also associates the house with Jesse A. Clement, a local businessman and state legislator, and with his brother John, who introduced the bill forming Davie County in 1836, and with his sons' careers in Arkansas.","narrative":"Built about 1828 in Mocksville, this two-story brick house is a regional Federal-style residence with a symmetrical three-bay north facade, a center hall plan and reeded mantels in the principal rooms. Its brickwork varies across elevations, with Flemish bond on the facade and east wall and common bond on the south and west walls. A late nineteenth-century double porch with sawnwork remnants was added to the front. The house was the center of a plantation and is associated with Jesse A. Clement, a prosperous businessman who ran a tannery, two plantations and a brokerage in plug tobacco, cotton and wheat, and who served in the North Carolina House of Commons in 1838 and 1839. His brother John sponsored the 1836 bill that created Davie County. Clement later commanded the Davie Greys during the Civil War. The house is regarded as a representative example of western Piedmont domestic architecture of its period.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1828","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal; late Federal, early Greek Revival interior features","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Owned by the Historic Preservation Fund of North Carolina, Inc. and then by a private couple after 1978 transfer; the document does not state current use.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.879377-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/81/7199/47719981/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/80002823.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002823/b85093708b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002823/b85093708b-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jesse_Clement_House_driveway.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jesse_Clement_House_driveway.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719981","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Clement_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18378632"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/davie-county/clement-jesse-house-80002823/"}
