It is described as the only early twentieth-century rural school of its kind in the county to survive largely intact and in good condition. The Corriher Grange is also one of only three in western Rowan County still active as a rural social and fraternal group.","narrative":"Corriher Grange Hall is a modest one-story frame building in a grove of oak and cedar trees near Five Points, Rowan County. Its oldest section was built about 1916 as the fourth schoolhouse in the Corriher community and was soon doubled in size with a second room. It served as the community school until 1935, when schools were consolidated in nearby Landis. In 1937 the Corriher Grange, organized in 1929, acquired the building and enlarged it the next year with a gable-front addition on the south end. A kitchen, stage and junior hall were added for Grange use, and the building was dedicated in September 1938. The nomination notes that most rural schools of this type in the county were remodeled, converted or lost, while this one remains largely intact. The Grange still meets there and the hall hosts other community events.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular frame building","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Occupied and in good condition; still used as the Grange meeting hall and for other community events.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.045338-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/40/7220/47722040/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/82003507.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722040","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corriher_Grange_Hall","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5172988"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/rowan-county/corriher-grange-hall-82003507/"}
