Its rear wing may be part of the home of Dr. John A. Moore, the first physician to settle in Company Shops (now Burlington), which would make it one of the city's few surviving antebellum structures.","narrative":"Built around 1889 at 130 Union Avenue in Burlington, this two-story frame house is a vernacular Queen Anne design with an irregular form, a steep pyramidal slate roof and three projecting gables. Its most notable feature is the abundance of ready-made sawn and turned millwork, along with multicolored glass in the attic windows, fish-scale shingles, and Eastlake-style porch details. The main block was put up by James G. and Ella Moore Holt. A one-story rear wing with a Greek Revival interior door may be part of an earlier house built by Ella's father, Dr. John Allen Moore, the first physician to settle in the railroad town of Company Shops. If so, it is among the city's few surviving antebellum structures. The house was altered with an enlarged front porch early in the twentieth century and additions in the 1950s, but it remains largely intact. It is popularly named for Dr. John S. Frost, a dentist who lived there for over four decades.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne (vernacular), with Eastlake-style porch ornament","criteria":["B","C","D"],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; described as deteriorated and altered, and being restored as a home and office with a low-interest city loan.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:49.277436-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/44/7172/47717244/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/84001920.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001920/8223736535-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001920/8223736535-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holt-Frost_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holt-Frost_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717244","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holt%E2%80%93Frost_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17560853"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/alamance-county/holt-frost-house-84001920/"}
