Holt, with six outbuildings on a rural estate overlooking the Granite Mills complex.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the finest surviving intact Queen Anne mansions in North Carolina, designed by prominent architect George Franklin Barber. It also represents a wealthy class whose fortunes came from industry rather than land, and it is tied to the Holt family, pioneers of the textile industry in Alamance County and the South.","narrative":"Overlooking the Granite Mills complex in Haw River, this Queen Anne mansion was completed in 1897 for textile businessman Charles T. Holt and his wife, Gena Jones Holt. Barber of Knoxville, Tennessee, George Franklin Barber, designed it, and James R. Montgomery of Alamance County built it. Peaks, turrets, decorative chimneys, a wraparound porch and a mix of wood, slate, brick and stone give the exterior its irregular, richly detailed look. Inside, the nine ornate mantels, tiled fireplaces, beveled glass and original gas fixtures survive with no notable alteration. Six outbuildings, including a carriage house, servants quarters, gas house, barn and well house, remain in their original locations. The house is significant as one of North Carolina's finest intact Queen Anne mansions and as a reminder of the Holt family, whose textile enterprises began with Edwin Michael Holt's cotton mill and grew into one of the South's leading producers. The Holts owned it only briefly, and the Long family has kept it since 1908.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"George Franklin Barber, architect; James R.
