Broad Street in Mooresville, Iredell County, North Carolina, along the railroad tracks just south of the commercial district. The houses were built between about 1885 and 1914.","why_significant":"The row is the last intact section of late 19th century houses that once flanked the railroad tracks south of downtown Mooresville. It shows the architecture of the period when the railroad drove the town's growth. The houses were occupied by prominent local merchants, physicians, a pharmacist, a contractor and a mayor.","narrative":"Six late Victorian frame houses line South Broad Street in Mooresville, just south of the commercial district and beside the railroad tracks. They are the last intact part of a larger group of early residences that once stood on both sides of the line. Built between about 1885 and 1914, the one- and two-story dwellings share ornamented porches, brackets, kingpost gables and segmental or pointed-arch window and door surrounds. The row includes a former Presbyterian manse from 1891 and houses tied to a physician, a pharmacist, a department store owner, a cotton seed oil mill manager who later served as mayor, and a contractor's family. Their listing rests on the link to Mooresville's earliest residential growth, which followed the arrival of the railroad in 1873 and carried the town from 23 residents to about 1,000 by 1900. The row also reflects the prominent local citizens who lived there and the period's architecture.","period_of_significance":"1875-1914","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian, with Italianate influences","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Houses are in good condition with some alterations; at least one remains in the original family; present use is private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:55.775469-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/55/7180/47718055/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/80002862.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002862/b83af657ae-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002862/b83af657ae-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Cdtew at English Wikipedia","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:South_Broad_Street_Row.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Cdtew at English Wikipedia</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:South_Broad_Street_Row.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718055","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Broad_Street_Row","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7566416"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/iredell-county/south-broad-street-row-80002862/"}
