It was built in the second quarter of the nineteenth century on land the Randle family began acquiring in 1778.","why_significant":"The house is one of a small number of two-story plantation houses remaining in Stanly County's Fork section, and it represents the area's vernacular building traditions with restrained Federal/Greek Revival detailing. Careful restoration in 1970 means the original front block closely replicates its early nineteenth century appearance. It is also the most visible reminder of the Randle family, whose name still attaches to the nearby church and roads.","narrative":"Set among trees, lawns and fields about four miles northeast of Norwood, this two-story weatherboarded I-house reflects the plantation society that grew up along the Pee Dee and Rocky Rivers in Stanly County. The Randle family began buying land here in 1778, and the nearby church and roads are still called \"Randall's.\" The exact date of construction is unclear, but the proportions, windows and finish point to the second quarter of the nineteenth century. The main block has a center passage, an enclosed stair, wide mantelpieces with Greek Revival touches, and a heavy hand-hewn timber frame. A rear ell and a kitchen wing were added later. The house was restored in 1970 after long abandonment. It is listed for architecture as one of very few surviving two-story plantation houses in the county. A frame building traditionally said to have housed slaves stands to the east, along with the grave of John Randle, who died in 1824.","period_of_significance":"Second quarter nineteenth century","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Other: Vernacular Federal/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Restored in 1970 after becoming badly deteriorated; still used as a single-family dwelling, with a plant nursery on part of the surrounding land.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:50.082159-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/52/7222/47722252/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/92001172.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001172/c6527e176e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001172/c6527e176e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RANDLE_HOUSE,_STANLY_COUNTY,_NC.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RANDLE_HOUSE,_STANLY_COUNTY,_NC.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722252","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randle_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19946113"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/stanly-county/randle-house-92001172/"}
