It was designed by Frank Pierce Milburn and built by the Fogle Brothers contracting firm.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an exceptionally fine turn-of-the-century residence tied to the late Moravian identity of Salem, and a work by the master architect Frank Pierce Milburn, of whose houses few survive. It retains much original exterior and interior fabric, including woodwork, coffered ceilings and mantels. The move was made to preserve it, and the nomination finds the new site retains association with Salem.","narrative":"Built around 1907 from a design by the Southern architect Frank Pierce Milburn, this two and one-half story frame house in Salem combines Queen Anne massing with Classical Revival and Craftsman details. Its hipped roof, corner bay, half-timbered gables and Corinthian-columned porch are notable features. Inside, the first-floor reception hall, parlor and dining room retain heavily molded quarter-sawn oak woodwork, deeply coffered ceilings and pocket doors. The house was occupied until the 1970s by the Brickenstein and Leinbach families. Laurence Bagge Brickenstein, a plumbing contractor, and Clarence Theodore Leinbach, a longtime Wachovia Bank executive, were both Moravian businessmen active in church and civic life. The house is regarded as one of few surviving Late Victorian houses built in Salem. It was moved about 400 feet in 1990 to avoid demolition when the lot was acquired for reconstruction of an eighteenth-century blacksmith's shop.","period_of_significance":"ca 1907","architect_builder":"Milburn, Frank Pierce (architect); Fogle Brothers (builder)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Being rehabilitated for offices; the original slate roof was replaced with asphalt shingles and the interior is being remodelled.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.996107-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/77/7201/47720177/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/91001169.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91001169/9d7ff033a9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91001169/9d7ff033a9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jim Roberts","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brickenstein-Leinbach_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jim Roberts</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brickenstein-Leinbach_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720177","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brickenstein-Leinbach_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19460661"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/forsyth-county/brickenstein-leinbach-house-91001169/"}
