Puckett Family Farm
Why it's listed
Puckett Family Farm is a tobacco farm in the Piedmont near Satterwhite, Granville County, North Carolina. Its centerpiece is a plain, unpainted frame farmhouse built about 1899 by Joseph and Delia (Hobgood) Puckett, three bays wide with a central hall, a shortened second story and a long porch under its original standing seam metal roof. Around it stand diamond-notched log barns, a packhouse, a striphouse, a smokehouse, a brooder house and a washhouse, along with frame outbuildings including a stable, corn crib, garage and privy. Together they show each stage of bright leaf tobacco growing, curing and processing as practiced into the 1950s. The nomination describes the property as having a fuller set of outbuildings and a more pristine condition than any comparable farm in the county. Fields still grow tobacco, corn, wheat and soybeans. The period of significance closes in 1937, and about 4.5 acres are included.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
