It centres on a one-story L-plan farmhouse built in 1882 and includes a ca. 1872 log barn, a ca. 1885 log corncrib and several domestic and farm outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is a rare surviving piedmont North Carolina farm complex held by the same family for over a century and a half. It states the farmhouse blends Greek Revival and Italianate detailing in a traditional house type, and that the collection of outbuildings, especially the log barn, is unusually intact for the county. The farm is presented as representative of agricultural and domestic life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.","narrative":"Built in 1882 for the Hartsell family on the south side of the Rocky River in southeastern Cabarrus County, the farmstead is centred on a one-story, weatherboarded L-plan farmhouse with Greek Revival and Italianate detailing. Its center-hall interior retains four original Greek Revival mantels and molded doors. The outbuildings include a log barn dating from about 1872, with half-dovetail corners and fieldstone foundation, and a double-crib log corncrib from about 1885. A granary, smokehouse, hen house, wash house and well house surround the house. The property is regarded as a rare survival of a piedmont farm complex kept by one family for more than a century. Its agricultural history reflects cotton, corn and wheat production, tied to the growth of the Cabarrus textile industry after the Civil War. Land was worked until 1960.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1872-1948","architect_builder":"Propst, A.H.
