It also argues the house is significant for its association with Isaiah Wilson Snuggs, a Civil War veteran who held the offices of register of deeds, sheriff and treasurer of Stanly County.","narrative":"Built ca. 1874 on a town lot in Albemarle, Stanly County, the two-story, three-bay weatherboarded house was raised from an earlier one-story log house, according to family tradition. It was built for Isaiah Wilson Snuggs, a Civil War veteran who lost his right leg at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. Snuggs served as register of deeds, sheriff and treasurer of Stanly County, and he held all three offices during his lifetime, which the nomination treats as a rare distinction. The house keeps its center stair hall plan, Italianate mantels, and much original interior sheathing, including a Victorian stair with turned newel. It is regarded as the oldest known intact dwelling in the county seat that still stands on its original site. The house was acquired by the Stanly County Historic Properties Commission in 1974 and opened as a museum in 1976, and it is listed for its architecture and its link to county government.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1874-1904","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Restored and operated as a historic house museum by the Stanly County Historic Properties Commission, with exhibition space and commission offices.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.181824-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/64/7222/47722264/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/95000190.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000190/81468835f9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000190/81468835f9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ISAIAH_WILSON_SNUGS_HOUSE_AND_MARKS_HOUSE;_ALBEMARLE,_STANLY_COUNTY.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:ISAIAH_WILSON_SNUGS_HOUSE_AND_MARKS_HOUSE;_ALBEMARLE,_STANLY_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722264","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_Wilson_Snugs_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19895940"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/stanly-county/snugs-isaiah-wilson-house-and-marks-house-95000190/"}
