A one-and-one-half story addition was built on the rear in the 1920s.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be significant for its Greek Revival design and as one of at least three stylish plantation houses in Catawba County that reflect local carpenters' use of Asher Benjamin and Owen Biddle pattern books. Its entrance surround, unusual masonry porch columns, chimneys and interior staircase with Owen Biddle-inspired brackets are cited as the basis for significance under Criterion C, and the interior is described as having a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Built around 1845 on a hill southeast of the Sigmon Dairy land, this two-story, three-bay frame farmhouse was constructed for William Pinckney Reinhardt, a prosperous farmer who held 480 acres and enslaved workers in 1850 and 1860 and later served in the North Carolina General Assembly. Its Greek Revival character is expressed in a center portico with Doric columns of stuccoed brick and an entrance surround derived from designs by Asher Benjamin. The center-hall plan, Greek Revival mantels and a staircase whose brackets draw on Owen Biddle's published patterns survive largely intact. A rear addition of the 1920s was built by George Monroe Sigmon. The house is regarded as a notable example of local carpenters applying national pattern-book designs in the piedmont, and its interior integrity is a principal reason for its listing.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1845","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Retains its overall form and interior detailing; vinyl siding was applied in 1983 and the house is occupied, with a family member living in it and working the surrounding farm.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:13:51.525986-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/86/7173/47717386/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/90001111.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717386","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Pinckney_Reinhardt_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18157200"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/catawba-county/reinhardt-william-pinckney-house-90001111/"}
