The surviving tenant houses and tobacco barns document how the farm evolved.","narrative":"Lone Pine is a 180.63-acre farm about five miles west of Tarboro in Edgecombe County. Its main house is a two-story frame dwelling with a hipped tin roof, a central hall plan and a tetrastyle portico. Paired sawn brackets under the cornice add a touch of Italianate influence to its Greek Revival form. Family tradition holds that Joseph Wimberly moved the house to the site when he bought the land in 1860. Later owners included John S. Dancy, a leading advocate of scientific farming, and William S. Battle, who bought the farm in 1892 and named it Lone Pine. The remaining tenant houses and tobacco barns show the shift from cotton to tobacco and the reliance on tenant labor after the Civil War. The Great Depression brought foreclosure in 1932, but Battle's descendants bought the farm back, and it is still cultivated. Its period of significance runs from 1860 to 1932.","period_of_significance":"1860-1932","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still a working farm under cultivation and still used as a dwelling, though some tenant houses are deteriorating or abandoned.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:50.268067-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/92/7200/47720092/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/87001901.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720092","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Pine_(Tarboro,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22061026"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/edgecombe-county/lone-pine-87001901/"}
