The house is also tied to the Holloway and Walker families, whose landholdings and tobacco enterprises shaped Person County, and to Charles Smith Winstead, a long-serving state legislator.","narrative":"Frame house in a wooded clearing in northeastern Person County, built in three stages. The oldest block, a one-and-a-half-story frame structure with Georgian trim and hardware, is dated to the late eighteenth century, when John Holloway built a house on land he received in 1783 and 1785. A two-story Greek Revival block was added in the mid-nineteenth century by Jesse Walker, a large tobacco grower. The central section keeps a marbleized mantel with an undulating frieze. In 1976 Mary Merritt Winstead moved an early nineteenth century house from South Hyco Creek and attached it through a connecting block that holds kitchen and bathroom facilities. The house is significant for its rare late eighteenth century frame construction and for its ties to the Holloway and Walker families, whose tobacco enterprises shaped Person County and, later, Durham.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Jesse Walker (built the two-story central section)","architectural_style":"Georgian; Greek Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied by the present owner, who added a connecting block with kitchen and bathroom facilities.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:40.781221-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/63/7217/47721763/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/82003496.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003496/586181c28b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003496/586181c28b-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holloway-Walker_Dollarhite_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holloway-Walker_Dollarhite_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721763","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holloway-Walker_Dollarhite_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19874288"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/person-county/holloway-walker-dollarhite-house-82003496/"}
