The house is also associated with the decline of Quakerism and the rise of Methodism in the piedmont.","narrative":"Set on a hillside in western Guilford County, North Carolina, the Shaw-Cude House combines two sections built in sequence: a one-and-a-half story log section with an exterior stone end chimney, probably erected between 1790 and 1800, and a two-and-a-half story brick section, probably built about 1809. The brick section is laid in Flemish bond with glazed headers, a feature found in few comparable buildings, and belongs to a group of just over a dozen brick houses built by Guilford County Quaker families before 1830. The log section's roof was built to engage its stone chimney, a form seen in virtually no other early log house in the county. Benjamin Shaw acquired the land in 1789 for £200 specie, and his son Noble Shaw is associated with the brick addition. Martin L. Cude, who bought the house in 1864, later helped found Shady Grove Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1871. The house is significant for its architecture and for its link to the decline of Quakerism in the region.","period_of_significance":"1700-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian and Federal style brick section; log section of late eighteenth and nineteenth century North Carolina piedmont type","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house is being restored after a long period of neglect, and restoration was underway at the time of the nomination.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:40.916222-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/94/7205/47720594/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/82003455.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720594","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaw-Cude_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23405799"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/guilford-county/shaw-cude-house-82003455/"}
