It is an I-house with a shed porch across the front and shed rooms across the rear, with a smokehouse, stone well, corn crib and tenant building on the farmstead.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an undisturbed example of early 19th century Piedmont vernacular architecture, with its hall-parlor plan, stone end chimneys and transitional Georgian-Federal mantels largely intact. It is also associated with the antebellum farm economy of Iredell County and with the locally prominent Campbell family, particularly Perciphull Campbell, Sr.","narrative":"Above Hunting Creek in rolling northern Iredell County stands a two-story frame house on a dry laid stone foundation, probably built around 1820 in the I-house form common to the Piedmont. Its stone chimneys have stuccoed brick stacks, and the front porch has chamfered posts with lambs' tongues. Inside, a hall and parlor plan has two downstairs rooms with massive fireplaces and transitional Georgian-Federal mantels. The nomination links the house to Perciphull Campbell, Sr., who acquired prime Hunting Creek land in the 1790s, served as one of four commissioners laying out the town of Williamsburg in 1815, and moved to a 750-acre farm on Rocky Creek in 1836. The house is significant as a well-preserved example of early nineteenth-century farm life and building in the region. Its smokehouse, stone well and corn crib form a farmstead that reflects the antebellum agrarian economy of the Piedmont.","period_of_significance":"c. 1820-1850","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Carolina I-house; transitional Georgian-Federal detail","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied by the present owner, per the document; the house is otherwise described as largely unaltered in its interior finish.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.536685-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/51/7180/47718051/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/80002881.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002881/960b81bb8e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002881/960b81bb8e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"G.
