It is linked to two railroad secretary-treasurers, Cyrus P. Mendenhall and Francis Asbury Stagg. It is also Burlington's only surviving example of the picturesque bracketed cottage type.","narrative":"Built between 1857 and 1859 in the railroad town of Company Shops, now Burlington, this two-story frame house follows a T-shaped plan with shallow cross gables, deep eaves, large curved brackets and scroll-and-circle bargeboards. A wraparound porch with chamfered box posts and a projecting bay of tall, narrow windows give it the look of a small villa, and its form resembles a design in Samuel Sloan's 1852 pattern book. One-story wings were added later in the nineteenth century, yet the original doors, moldings and staircase survive. The house was probably one of four principal dwellings built by the North Carolina Railroad, likely by contractors Dudley and Ashley. It was first occupied by Cyrus P. Mendenhall and later owned by Francis Asbury Stagg, both secretary-treasurers of the railroad. Later owners included a textile executive, a grocer and a pharmacist. It is listed for its architecture, its railroad associations and its possible archaeological potential.","period_of_significance":"1857-59","architect_builder":"George H.
