It has an associated group of farm outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare example in the western piedmont of an antebellum one-story Georgian-plan structure, a plan more common in eastern North Carolina. It also identifies the house with Judge George W. Logan, a state legislator and Unionist attorney, and with later farming families, and its outbuildings are said to reflect rural subsistence farming in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.","narrative":"Jobe Hill is a one-story frame house of Georgian plan built ca. 1842 on a rise above the Second Broad River in north-central Rutherford County, North Carolina. Judge George W. Logan built it on land bought in 1840, and he later rented it out after moving to Rutherfordton. The house keeps its original double-leaf doors, pine floors, and parts of its beaded and flush sheathing, along with later changes from the 1890s and 1985. Its outbuildings include a smokehouse, granary, corncrib, brick dairy, and a log barn. The house is regarded as a rare example of its plan type in the western piedmont. Logan, a clerk, solicitor, legislator, and Unionist, is linked to the property, and the Allen and Jobe families who later farmed the land are also associated with it. The farm complex records rural subsistence farming through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1842","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian-plan","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated by its current owners beginning in 1985; outbuildings in poor condition and being stabilized.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.070366-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/86/7221/47722186/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/86000312.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000312/380ad15d22-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000312/380ad15d22-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Upstateherd","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_W._Logan_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Upstateherd</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_W._Logan_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722186","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Logan_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19986839"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/rutherford-county/logan-george-w-house-86000312/"}
