It is associated with the Green and Hartsfield families and is believed to date to about 1805.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an example of an increasingly rare type, a largely intact vernacular Federal farmhouse of the first decade of the nineteenth century. Its original hall and parlor plan, paneled wainscot, enclosed staircase, and robust hall mantelpiece survive, and it is described as unique in its vicinity for combining its two-story form, original cut stone chimney, and largely intact interior.","narrative":"Built in the early nineteenth century on a knoll in a grove of oaks near the Franklin County line in northeastern Wake County, this two-story weatherboarded frame house rests on granite foundations and retains its original hall and parlor plan. William Green, who bought the 1,000-acre tract on Little River in 1799, is the owner most closely tied to its construction, which is dated to about 1805 from architectural evidence and deed history. Its interior holds flat-paneled wainscot, heavy heart pine flooring, and a decorative hall mantelpiece with applied diamond motifs and a dentil cornice. The house is regarded as an increasingly rare example of a largely intact vernacular Federal farmhouse from that decade. Its double-shouldered cut granite chimney and restored interior have survived largely unchanged for nearly two centuries. A 1985-1987 rehabilitation restored the derelict house, rebuilt the entrance porch from surviving evidence, and replaced a 1940s shed with a two-story ell.","period_of_significance":"C. 1805","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Georgian/Early Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated in 1985-1987 under Secretary of the Interior's Standards; in use as a residence following restoration","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.433621-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/61/7224/47722461/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/89002158.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722461","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-Hartsfield_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5602180"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/wake-county/green-hartsfield-house-89002158/"}
