It keeps original features including a rare fieldstone-and-brick chimney with glazed-header diamond patterns in approximate Flemish bond, a mantelpiece with pierced scallops, and a plank door with hand-made nails.","narrative":"Built around 1825, this one-and-one-half story log house sits at the end of a quarter-mile dirt lane off Brick Church Road in western Alamance County. Measuring about 25 by 16 feet, it is made of white oak logs, later covered with asphalt shingles, and rests on a fieldstone foundation under a standing seam metal roof. Its east chimney combines a tall fieldstone base with a brick stack laid in approximate Flemish bond with glazed headers forming diamond patterns, a treatment not found on other surviving log house chimneys in the county. Inside are a mantelpiece with a band of pierced scallops, poplar corner stairs held with cut nails, and a plank door with hand-made nails. Ludwick Fogleman and his wife Polly built the house. Polly lived there for over thirty years after being widowed and ran a profitable farm until her death in 1913 at age 105. Two small log buildings and a fruit-drying kiln foundation also contribute. The property has stayed in the family.","period_of_significance":"c. 1825","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Other: log (single-pen, one room)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house remains in family ownership and is still used as a single dwelling, with a mid-twentieth-century asphalt shingle sheathing over the logs and later rear additions.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:50.250732-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/20/7172/47717220/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/93001197.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717220","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polly_Fogleman_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17514579"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/alamance-county/fogleman-polly-house-93001197/"}
