Its two houses show the shift from a traditional hall and parlor house to a conservative interpretation of popular nineteenth-century styles. Its outbuildings, marl hole, fields and wagon road reflect the move from diversified farming to tenant farming and tobacco.","narrative":"Barnes-Hooks Farm is an 86-acre farm complex in northern Wayne County, about two miles from Fremont, North Carolina. It is what remains of a 283-acre tract bought by Jacob Hooks in 1846 and given to his son Bennett in 1848. The core is two houses: a rare early-nineteenth-century hall and parlor house, thought to have been built by the Barnes family, and the ca. 1874 Hooks House, which blends Greek Revival and Italianate details. Outbuildings include a smokehouse, a ca. 1920 mule stable and tenant house, and a ca. 1930 tobacco barn. The landscape retains pastures, fields, three walnut groves, a marl hole once used for fertilizer, and an old wagon road. Together these features show how local farming moved from diversified yeoman agriculture to tenant farming and tobacco. The farm was listed for its agricultural history and its architecture, with a period of significance running from the early nineteenth century to 1945.","period_of_significance":"early nineteenth century - 1945","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Hall and Parlor; late Greek Revival/Italianate cottage; side-gabled cottage","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Farmland is still cultivated and grazed; the Hooks House is a residence.
