Moore on North Carolina Railroad Company land and moved twice before reaching its present site in 1909.","why_significant":"It is one of the few surviving antebellum houses in Burlington and the only example there of the vernacular Greek Revival style of the North Carolina piedmont. It is also linked to James G. Moore, an early contractor and merchant at Company Shops, and to Lawrence S. and Eugene Holt, leaders of Burlington's textile industry.","narrative":"Built in 1859 at the railroad town of Company Shops, later Burlington, this two-story frame house is a vernacular Greek Revival dwelling of the North Carolina piedmont. It has a shallow hipped roof, curved brackets under deep eaves, a center hall plan and a one-story rear wing. James G. Moore, a storekeeper and contractor who supplied materials, labor and provisions to the North Carolina Railroad Company, built it with special permission on company land. Later owners included textile leader Lawrence S. Holt, who bought it in 1883, and his son Eugene, who each moved it to make way for a larger new house. In 1909 it went to Maple Avenue, and Robert D. White's family owned it from 1910 to 1937, adding plumbing, electricity and a new porch design. It is among the few antebellum houses left in Burlington and the only one of its style. After a threatened demolition in 1983, the city bought it for rehabilitation.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown (built by James G.
