Its design is linked to the ca. 1848 Helper Hotel in Davidson, believed to be by the same builder as the Dialectic and Philanthropic Halls at Davidson College. It is also associated with antebellum agrarian prosperity in the county.","narrative":"Built around 1850 for Baker Holland, a wagon maker and farmer, the two-story brick house stands on a knoll among large trees in north central Iredell County. Its facade has five bays framed by a white cement colonnade of heroic Doric pilasters that rest on the water table and support the eaves. The center bay has more slender pilasters, a transom and sidelights at the entry, and a second-story window with sidelights. The interior follows a center hall plan, with fluted door and window surrounds and a vase-turned newel on the stairway. A heavy-timber smokehouse, probably contemporary with the house, stands behind it. The house is valued for its bold, unusually vigorous Greek Revival detailing in a county where such houses are usually modest. It is also tied to the agrarian economy of antebellum Iredell County, when Holland farmed 75 improved acres and raised livestock and crops.","period_of_significance":"c. 1850","architect_builder":"Lewis Dinkins (builder, attributed to the Helper Hotel link; not stated as builder of this house)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.246975-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/45/7180/47718045/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/80002852.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718045","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland%E2%80%93Summers_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19462363"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/iredell-county/holland-summers-house-80002852/"}
