Tull-Worth-Holland Farm

Tull-Worth-Holland Farm covers roughly 184 acres of woodland and fertile farmland in Vance Township, near Kinston. The property holds fourteen contributing buildings and one contributing site, built between 1825 and 1942. At its center is a two-story Federal-style house of about 1825 with a hall-and-parlor plan, exterior end chimneys, original wainscoting and mantels, and an enclosed stair. A rear shed addition of about 1875 and a rear ell of about 1900 show how the house grew over time. Around it stand a cook's house, a delco house, a playhouse, a barn, an eight-stall stable, a cotton gin moved to serve as a pack house, six tobacco barns (three of log), and tenant houses along the road. The farm's field and woodland layout likely took shape between 1869 and 1898. It was listed for its agricultural history and its architecture, which together document the evolution of a North Carolina farm.
