It includes a 1902 I-House, outbuildings, a cemetery and surrounding fields and timber.","why_significant":"The farm documents the successful operation of a farm in northern Sampson County in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and its fields keep much of their historic agricultural use (Criterion A). The 1902 I-House and the 1890 and 1900 outbuildings are intact, representative examples of their types (Criterion C).","narrative":"Thirteen Oaks, known as the Lovett Warren Farm, lies about three miles south of Newton Grove in Sampson County, North Carolina. Lovett Warren (1856-1936) bought the land in 1877, lived in a one-room house while clearing fields, and built a larger house around 1885. He added a corn crib in 1890 and a barn in 1900. In 1902 he hired builder Julius Ivey to construct a two-story I-House with a spindle-work porch and notable woodgrained interior woodwork. His son enlarged that house with a rear addition in 1940. The farm takes its name from thirteen oaks planted for Warren's children, twelve of which still stand. The property includes a small cemetery with marked graves of Warren and his wife, and tradition holds that it also holds unmarked graves of enslaved people and freedmen. About 138 acres of cultivated fields and timber remain. The farm was listed for its record of agricultural success and for its intact, representative buildings from the period.","period_of_significance":"1890-1940","architect_builder":"Ivey, Julius, builder","architectural_style":"Other: Folk Victorian (I-House)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The main house remains a single dwelling.
