Terry. It is the centerpiece of an early-twentieth-century farm complex of about ten frame buildings.","why_significant":"The form argues the house is the most ambitious and best-preserved Queen Anne residence built in Pittsboro by lumberman/contractor Bennett Nooe, Jr., and has a lavish Eastlake interior. It is tied to Pittsboro's economic expansion after the railroad opened in 1887 and to Nooe's career as a builder and mayor.","narrative":"Facing north from a knoll shaded by mature maples, this two-story Queen Anne house at 601 Womack Street anchors a farm complex of about ten frame buildings, including a barn, hog sheds and a smokehouse. The smokehouse is the only visible remnant of the earlier home of Abraham Rencher, which stood on or near the site. Built around 1900 for Aaron P. Terry, a saloon-keeper turned farmer, the house has an encircling porch, an open second-story tower, patterned gables and a stairhall with colored-glass windows. Inside, Eastlake mantelpieces and diagonally sheathed wainscoting stand out. Lumberman and contractor Bennett Nooe, Jr., who later served as mayor, built it, and it is considered the finest and best-preserved of his Queen Anne houses in Pittsboro. The property reflects the town's growth after the railroad arrived in 1887 and the work of a builder said to have erected about 1,000 houses and stores between 1893 and 1904.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Bennett Nooe, Jr. (builder; the form's builder/architect field says Unknown)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne, with Eastlake interior detailing","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Maintained as a private residence by the owner, with a small number of beef cattle occasionally raised on the property; described as well preserved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.493322-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/91/7174/47717491/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/82001292.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001292/71c94856bc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001292/71c94856bc-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A.P._Terry_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A.P._Terry_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717491","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._P._Terry_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18158694"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/chatham-county/terry-a-p-house-82001292/"}
