It has a two-story central section, one-story wings and rear additions, and was probably built in the late 1850s or by 1885.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a surviving antebellum plantation house that recalls the original limits of Tarboro and its nearby plantations. It is also an excellent example of the eclectic antebellum architecture of the town and county, combining pattern-book pilasters, Italianate brackets and a distinctive Tarboro lattice porch. It is also tied to the Lloyd family, including James B. Lloyd, a Populist-era editor and political figure.","narrative":"Oakland Plantation is a frame house on the north side of Edmondson Street in Tarboro, Edgecombe County. It has a two-story central block, one-story flanking wings and a series of rear additions, and sits at an angle to the more recent street grid. Shallow hip roofs rest on bold brackets, and a well-preserved one-story porch of the local Tarboro lattice type runs across most of the front, with sawn posts, Gothic and geometric tracery and an arcade of latticework. The interior has been much altered, but the exterior is unchanged. The house survives from the plantation era at the edge of town and recalls the original limits of Tarboro and its nearby plantations. It combines pattern book pilasters, Italianate brackets and regional trim. The land passed through the Gregory and Lloyd families. James B. Lloyd, who lived there, was an editor and Populist politician in the 1890s. After subdivision of the land, the house became an Elks meeting place, a use that continues.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eclectic antebellum: three-part massing with Asher Benjamin pattern book pilasters, Grecian taste, Italianate brackets, and regional lattice and openwork trim","criteria":[],"status_note":"Interior much altered for varied uses; exterior unchanged.
