Built ca. 1861 after Henry Eccles purchased the property.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the best-preserved late Greek Revival style houses in rural Iredell County. Its two-story log barn with half-dovetail joints and original lean-to sheds on all four sides is described as one of the finest in the county. The property is also tied to the agrarian and economic development of 19th century Iredell County.","narrative":"A two-story frame house with a low hipped roof, built around 1861 in rural Cool Spring, Iredell County, North Carolina, shortly after Henry Eccles bought the 156-acre tract that included the spring that gave the community its name. Its two-tier pedimented front porch with plain Doric posts and its center-hall plan are typical of the late Greek Revival style, while bracketed eaves and a scallop-edged tympanum show the influence of later Victorian work. The property is listed for its architecture and for its log barn. Built of hand-hewn logs with half-dovetail joints, the barn is two stories high and three bays wide, with original lean-to sheds on all four sides, and it is considered one of the finest examples in the county. Records show the property passed through several owners, including a merchant and a county Farmers Alliance president, and that the house was used for boarding teachers and travelers.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Good condition; the house is occupied by its owners, who have given it the name Hollingswood.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.829234-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/23/7180/47718023/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/80002870.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718023","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Eccles_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461509"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/iredell-county/eccles-henry-house-80002870/"}
