It combines a late 18th or early 19th century frame house with a Victorian two-story addition, probably built in the third quarter of the 19th century.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is tied to the Boddie family, a group that helped shape Nash County's history. It also claims the house embodies two distinct periods of construction and shows how a planter family's house grew and changed over nearly two hundred years.","narrative":"Rose Hill is a plantation house set on a small rise in the rolling fields of Nash County, North Carolina, at the head of a long tree-lined drive. It grew in stages. The earliest part is a one-and-a-half-story frame section with a central hall, a Federal mantel and a brick chimney laid in common bond. Family tradition says Nathan Boddie built it for his son George in 1792, but the nomination finds the early nineteenth century more likely. A two-story Victorian block, probably added by Nicholas W. Boddie after the Civil War, partly engulfed the older house, and a two-story Doric portico was added in the early twentieth century. The house is listed for its link to the Boddie family, prominent in Nash County affairs, and as an example of a plantation house that evolved over generations. Family ownership continued for about 175 years until the 1930s, and a family member bought the property again in 1979.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal-era early house with a late Victorian addition and an early twentieth century Doric portico","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied private residence; the Boddie family repurchased the plantation in 1979 and hopes to restore the house, which had deteriorated.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.081582-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/86/7214/47721486/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/82003492.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003492/8702764eb0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003492/8702764eb0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"JadaKaye","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rose_Hill_Fountain.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JadaKaye</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rose_Hill_Fountain.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721486","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Hill_(Nashville,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q25203157"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/nash-county/rose-hill-82003492/"}
