It is listed as a district.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding and remarkably intact example of Greek Revival architecture in Anson County, with original porch, doors, sash windows and interior finishes. It also argues the farm's outbuildings and landscape document the county's agricultural history, including the transition from plantation slavery to tenant farming.","narrative":"Located on the east side of State Route 1228 in White Store township, southwest Anson County, North Carolina, the Chambers-Morgan Farm is the surviving part of a plantation begun by Wilson Chambers in 1829. The two-story, weatherboarded house has a center-hall plan, a two-tier front porch with boxed columns, nine-over-nine sash windows and two-panel Greek Revival doors. The house is regarded as an outstanding and remarkably intact example of the style in the county. Its builder's household held twenty-three enslaved people in 1850 and thirty-eight in 1860, and the plantation was reported at 1,700 acres in those census years. After the Civil War the land was worked by tenants. In 1910 F. H. Morgan acquired the house and 452 acres, and he built several frame outbuildings, including a barn, corn cribs and a blacksmith shop. The farm's fields and timber still follow the pattern shown on a crop map of about 1940, and its outbuildings document the county's agricultural life across the twentieth century.","period_of_significance":"1829-1946","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house remained vacant until 1996, when it was purchased by the present owners, who have undertaken a careful restoration of the house and outbuildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.426768-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/26/7189/47718926/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/96001526.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718926","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambers%E2%80%93Morgan_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17515521"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/anson-county/chambers-morgan-farm-96001526/"}
