It was built about 1840.","why_significant":"The nomination describes it as the only surviving Greek Revival coastal cottage in Fayetteville and a rare local survival of that house type. It is associated with free persons of color in antebellum Fayetteville and with the development of neighborhoods where they lived. Its detached kitchen is cited as an example of separating cooking from living areas.","narrative":"Built about 1840 at the southwest corner of Moore and Hillsborough streets in Fayetteville, this one-and-one-half-story frame house follows the coastal cottage form common in eastern North Carolina during the first half of the nineteenth century. A full-width engaged front porch with slender square columns shelters a symmetrical five-bay facade with 6/6 sash windows, Greek Revival surrounds, and double-shoulder end chimneys. A detached rear kitchen/dining room, once linked to the main house by a T-shaped porch, retains weatherboarded walls and a standing-seam tin roof. The interior follows a double-pile central hall plan with plain Greek Revival mantels. The earliest known owner, John E. Patterson, was a free person of color and a brick mason who speculated in real estate in the neighborhoods northwest of downtown. The house is regarded as the only surviving example of its type in the city and as evidence of the housing built and occupied by free people of color before the Civil War.","period_of_significance":"c. 1840","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival coastal cottage","criteria":["A","B"],"status_note":"Used for rental purposes, according to the document.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.303127-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/97/7175/47717597/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/83001867.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001867/627d4d3046-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001867/627d4d3046-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_E._Patterson_House_site_in_Fayetteville.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_E._Patterson_House_site_in_Fayetteville.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717597","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Patterson_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18217141"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/cumberland-county/patterson-john-e-house-83001867/"}
