The Greek Revival section dates to about 1850, with a Classical Revival wing added about 1900 and an ell about 1920.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house and its riverboat landing reflect the river-oriented plantation economy of the mid-19th and 20th centuries. It is tied to the Beatty and Corbett families, two prominent early families of the area. It is also valued for the quality of its architecture and its riverside setting, and the site may yield information on agriculture, rural industry and riverboating.","narrative":"Overlooking the Black River at the meeting point of Sampson, Pender and Bladen counties, this large frame house grew in two main stages. The southern block, a two-story Greek Revival house, dates to about 1850 and was probably built for James Corbett, who bought the land in 1853 from the Beatty family. About 1900 William Murphy Corbett added a Classical Revival wing with a two-story pillared portico, and a two-room ell followed about 1920. The 115-acre property includes a log stable, smokehouse, tool shed, washhouse, tobacco barn, a sulfur spring, and a cast iron fence moved from a Corbett cemetery. Sites of a turpentine still, cotton gin and Beatty's Landing, a riverboat landing used to reach Wilmington markets, are also included. The Corbetts owned about 10,000 acres and ran several industries. The house was listed for its role in the river plantation economy, its association with two prominent families, its architecture and its archaeological potential.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1850-53","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival (ca. 1850 block) and Classical Revival (ca. 1900 addition)","criteria":["A","B","C","D"],"status_note":"Condition listed as good and altered; the property is a private residence.
