It also has a gambrel roof, a type rarely found in piedmont North Carolina, and retains much original exterior and interior detail, including decorative painting in the west wing. Archaeological testing around the house also suggests intact deposits that could add to knowledge of 1776 through the 19th century.","narrative":"Red Hill is a frame plantation manor house on a 263-acre farm in rural northern Granville County, close to the Virginia line. It was built in three stages. Jacob Mitchell raised the gambrel-roofed Georgian center block around 1776 as the seat of a plantation of about 1,000 acres. An east wing in a transitional Georgian/Federal style followed about 1807, and a tall two-story west wing with Federal and Greek Revival features was added by 1820, probably by Dr. Thomas Hunt. The three sections sit side by side in a long line, an arrangement described as unique in the region. The gambrel roof is also rare in piedmont North Carolina. Inside, the house keeps much of its original plaster, wainscot, doors, mantels and pine flooring, along with marbelized baseboards and woodgrained doors in the west wing. Archaeological testing near the house has found porch remains, a cellar entrance and a probable outbuilding site, which suggests further buried evidence of the plantation's history.","period_of_significance":"c. 1776 - c. 1820","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Georgian center block with transitional Georgian/Federal east wing and transitional Federal/Greek Revival west wing","criteria":["C","D"],"status_note":"Exterior restoration was underway, with foundation repair and chimney reconstruction in progress.
