It began as Sampson County's second courthouse, built in 1818 and enlarged in the 1840s, and was converted to a dwelling ca. 1904.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a local example of a national early twentieth-century movement of remodeling earlier houses into Classical Revival or Colonial Revival designs. It retains Greek Revival exterior pilasters and cornice brackets, interior surrounds and doors from several nineteenth-century periods, and Victorian-era additions from its conversion to a dwelling.","narrative":"Clinton's former second courthouse stands on a city lot at McKoy and Faison Streets. Built in 1818 as a one-and-a-half-story frame building on tall brick piers, it was enlarged to two full stories with a brick basement and redesigned in the Greek Revival style in the 1840s. When a new courthouse was planned in 1904, the county offered the building for removal, and Duncan Patrick bought it for $90 and moved it to its present site. He converted it to a residence, adding two three-sided bays, a Tuscan-columned wraparound porch and new windows, while keeping the 1840s corner pilasters, bracketed cornice, and Greek Revival interior woodwork. The house is regarded as a local instance of the early twentieth-century practice of remodeling older houses in the Classical Revival manner. Later owners included Jasper H. Carr and the Herring family. It was restored in 1991 as a bed and breakfast inn.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1905","architect_builder":"Patrick, Duncan","architectural_style":"Classical Revival; Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated in 1991 as a bed and breakfast inn.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.370115-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/7222/47722213/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/92001791.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001791/b8c0fd179f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001791/b8c0fd179f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patrick-Carr-Herring_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patrick-Carr-Herring_House.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"86000546","name":"West Main-North Chesnutt Streets Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/west-main-north-chesnutt-streets-historic-district-86000546/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722213","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick-Carr-Herring_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19987461"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/sampson-county/patrick-carr-herring-house-92001791/"}
