The house is dated c. 1820 and was built by David Faucette.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare surviving, largely intact example of an early nineteenth-century two-story frame house in the Eno River Valley. Its Federal-style vernacular form, interior plan, and original features such as sawn-work mantels and six-panel doors are cited as representative of a yeoman farmer's homestead. The nomination states it retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association.","narrative":"Built around 1820 by David Faucette on a grassy bluff above the Eno River near Efland in Orange County, this two-story, gable-roofed frame farmhouse rests on a fieldstone foundation and has common-bond brick chimneys with slender freestanding stacks. Its three-bay, single-pile main block follows the vernacular Federal style, and the interior retains a Federal hall-and-parlor plan, sawn-work mantelpieces, six-panel doors, and an enclosed staircase. The house passed through the Faucette family, descended to Maude Faucette, who lived there until her death in 1983 at age ninety-seven. A mid-to-late nineteenth-century hip-roofed porch and a 1904-05 combed-graining scheme on the doors and wainscot reflect later changes. The nomination regards it as an unusually intact example of an early frame farmhouse in an area dominated by log dwellings, and it stands as a reference for the homestead of a small yeoman farmer in the valley.","period_of_significance":"C. 1820","architect_builder":"David Faucette (builder)","architectural_style":"Federal (vernacular interpretation)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Occupied by the current owner as a residence and antique coin business office; a one-story east wing was added in the 1970s.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.901637-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/20/7216/47721620/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/99001391.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001391/350ebd7ee9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001391/350ebd7ee9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DAVID_FAUCETTE_HOUSE;_EFLAND,_ORANGE_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:DAVID_FAUCETTE_HOUSE;_EFLAND,_ORANGE_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721620","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Faucette_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19865289"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/orange-county/faucette-david-house-99001391/"}
