The farmhouse combines traditional German building practices with Greek Revival details and is one of only two such frame houses in the county with interior end chimneys and pedimented gable ends. The heavy-timber barn is regarded as the only one of its type in the county remaining in its original location.","narrative":"Built on a rise above the road in 1852, the Samuel B. Stauber farmhouse is a two-story, weatherboarded frame dwelling with heavy-timber framing, brick nogging, a fieldstone foundation and interior end chimneys. Samuel Benjamin Stauber, a member of the Moravian congregation of Bethania, bought the 492-acre Conrad property in January 1852 and moved his family into the house that September. The farm grew through the 1850s and 1860s, producing corn, wheat, rye and livestock, and Stauber kept a livery business. Its heavy-timber barn, slave dwellings, smokehouse and packhouse survive around the house on a 6.5-acre complex. The farm is significant for its representation of an agrarian homestead and for the house's blend of German building traditions with the Greek Revival style, which was common in the region in this period.","period_of_significance":"1852-1884","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:40.661892-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/52/7201/47720152/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/87002232.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720152","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_B._Stauber_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24436217"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/forsyth-county/stauber-samuel-b-farm-87002232/"}
