It was enlarged with a frame wing in the third quarter of the 19th century.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a well-preserved example of a dwelling that grew over time, keeping features from two main building campaigns. Its documented early date and its large carved stone chimney are described as unique in the Pulaski and Montgomery County area. Of nearly 50 log houses surveyed in Pulaski County in 1985, none is confirmed as old by documentary or physical evidence.","narrative":"Near Belspring in Pulaski County, Virginia, this two-story frame house contains the core of a large log hall-parlor dwelling. A big stone chimney carved with the date 1800 and the initials A.B. marks the log section, which measures about 20 by 30 feet. John Hoge, a son of early settler James Hoge, began buying land in the area in 1812 and held more than 1,000 acres by his death in 1847. Around the third quarter of the 19th century a frame wing and center passage were added, the house was turned to face east, and the old log room received Greek Revival woodwork and a pilastered mantel. Early beaded boards, painted partitions and a garret stair survive in the log section. Compared with other log houses in Pulaski and Montgomery counties, it stands out for its size, its documented early date and its chimney, and it shows how a house changed across two building periods.","period_of_significance":"1800-c. 1860","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Hall-Parlor (log hall-parlor house with Greek Revival interior additions, later center-passage form)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Owners are restoring the house as their residence; current function listed as work in progress.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:59.720525-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/73/6827/41682773/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/88001320.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001320/bc4eff4427-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001320/bc4eff4427-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Hoge_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Hoge_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682773","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hoge_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15229666"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/pulaski-county/hoge-john-house-88001320/"}
