It was the home of Dr. Sloan, a leading local physician, and has remained in the Sloan family.","narrative":"Dr. David Dickson Sloan Farm is a one-story, center-hall Greek Revival house built about 1849 on the bank of the South River near Garland. The land was a gift from the wife's father, John Cromartie. The house has a pedimented portico with Doric capitals, six-over-six windows, and peaked, battered surrounds with dog-ears used throughout the exterior and interior, an unusual application. A rare surviving plaster ceiling medallion decorates the hall. Attached are a kitchen ell and a small cook's house. Surviving outbuildings include a frame potato cellar, a grape arbor, a section of paling fence and a ca. 1920 garage. The sites of slave houses, barns, a dairy, a smokehouse and Dr. Sloan's office are also recorded. Sloan was a leading physician, and Garland was once called Sloan's Crossing after the bridge on his land. The farm was recognized as a prime example of a pre-Civil War planter's farmstead, and as the county's finest rural Greek Revival house. It has remained in the Sloan family since it was built.","period_of_significance":"1849","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Listed in excellent to good condition; the house is occupied and used as a private residence and agriculture, with four surviving outbuildings and several archaeological sites.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:48.851174-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/11/7184/47718411/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/86000579.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718411","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._David_Dickson_Sloan_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q21187989"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/sampson-county/sloan-dr-david-dickson-farm-86000579/"}
