PURPOSE: To consider an application for 1993 Historic Survey
and Planning Grant Funds.
BACKGROUND: The N.C. Historic Preservation Office (HPO) has
announced the application period for 1993 Survey and
Planning Grant Funds. Eligible projects include
architectural and archaeological surveys,
preparation of nominations to the National Register
of Historic Places, and preservation plans.
This year, an estimated $130, 000 is available for
survey and planning grants to communities or
nonprofit organizations. Of the total amount,
$70, 000 is reserved for grants in communities that
participate in the Certified Local Government (CLG)
program. The remaining communities, including Orange
County, may apply for grants from the remaining
$60,000. Grant funds are awarded on a matching basis
with awards generally in the $5, 000-$15, 000 range.
Grant applications must be completed and submitted
to the HPO by January 31, 1993. Grant awards will be
announced in March, 1993, and projects must be
completed by July 31, 1994.
In January, 1992, Orange County applied for a
$17,000 grant to conduct an inventory of historic
sites and structures in the remaining unincorporated
portions of the county. The historic inventory of
Chapel Hill Township, Phase I of the countywide
inventory, was completed in July, 1992, following
receipt of a 1991 grant award.
2
Discussions with HPO representatives have indicated
that two counties are expected to submit
applications for new grant funding. Also anticipated
is an additional application to complete a county
inventory currently underway. Because of the cost
associated with these projects, and the limited
amount of funding that will be available for non-CLG
jurisdictions, HPO has suggested that Orange County
consider applying for designation as a CLG. (A
separate agenda abstract addresses procedures for
such designation. ) CLG's generally have completed
their inventories and have more latitude in
terms of funding requests.
The third phase of Orange County's historic
preservation project, and the one for which 1993
Survey and Planning Grants Funds are being
requested, is to consist of two parts, including the
publication of a county-wide inventory and an
inventory of archaeological sites. Orange County is
to seek the support of municipalities and private
interests in actually publishing the inventory.
According to the HPO, the cost of preparing the
manuscript, including photograph collection, is an
eligible expense of grant funds. A consultant is to
be sought to undertake the archaeological inventory.
Phase III is estimated to cost $35,200, including
$15, 000 in grant funds, $15, 000 in County matching
funds, and $5,200 in in-kind services. It is
estimated that the archaeological survey would cost
approximately $20, 000, excluding in-kind
contributions. Inventory manuscript preparation is
estimated at $10,000.
The fourth phase is to consist of preparing an
Historic Preservation Element as part of the
Comprehensive Plan and preparing nominations for the
National Register of Historic Places. The Planning
Department is to prepare the Historic Preservation
Element. A consultant is to be sought to prepare the
National Register nominations.
At a special meeting on January 13, 1993, the
Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously
to recommend that the application for CLG funds be
submitted to the SHPO.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the County
Manager be authorized to apply for up to $15,000
from the CLG Survey and Planning Grant Program. The
amount would be matched by $15, 000 from Orange
County and would be used to conduct an
archaeological inventory and prepare the historic
inventory manuscript.

Dear Ms. Childers:
At its January 19, 1993 meeting, the Orange County Board of
Commissioners authorized me to submit the enclosed applications for
designation as a Certified Local Government (CLG) and a 1993 CLG
Survey and Planning Grant Funds. Although Orange County has not
been designated a CLG, the County is hopeful of obtaining such
status. If, for some reason, CLG designation is not made, Orange
County requests that this application be considered for non-CLG
Survey and Planning funding.
As noted in the application, we wish to conduct an
archaeological survey of Orange County and prepare the manuscript
for our inventory publication. The project represents Phase III of
a comprehensive historic preservation program which will become an
integral part of our comprehensive planning process. Phase II is
currently underway and involves an inventory of all unincorporated
portions of Orange County except Chapel Hill Township. The
inventory of that township was completed in June, 1992 as Phase I
of our program.
Should you have any questions about either application, please
feel free to contact Marvin Collins, Planning Director for Orange
County. He will be the Contact Person as well as the Project
Coordinator. He can be reached at (919) 732-8181 - Extension 2592 .

deprived of all beneficial use or return by virtue of
the denial .

supplementary pages.
DESCRIPTION OF PAST & CURRENT ACTIVITIES
Since the adoption of an ordinance creating the Orange County Historic
Preservation Commission on April 1, 1991, the following activities have
been undertaken to identify, protect, and promote the preservation of
historic districts and properties:
1. Recruitment & Appointment of Commission Members - Orange County's
ordinance established a Historic Preservation Commission comprised of
seven (7) members. To fill the positions on the Commission, Orange
County advertised, as it normally does, in newspapers in general
circulation in the county. In addition, because of the Planning Board's
involvement in development of the ordinance and knowledge of persons
with an interest and/or background in historic preservation, potential
candidates were recommended who resided in the County's jurisdiction. As
a result, five members were initially appointed to staggered terms on
May 21, 1991. These five members possessed experience in the following
areas:
Architectural Historian/Historic Preservation Consultant
Historic Preservation Contractor/Consultant
Archaeologist/UNC Faculty Member
Historian/Writer
Landscape Architect [National Register landmark experience]
The remaining two members were appointed on June 25, 1991, and September
22 , 1992 , respectively. While these members might be considered lay
people in terms of historic preservation experience, one appointee was a
licensed building contractor, while the other was a farmer/insurance
agent. Their occupations, as well as their interest in church and/or
family history, provided valuable experience within the rural context of
the Commission's work.
2. Phase I - Chapel Hill Township Inventory - In January, 1991, Orange
County applied for a $5, 000 grant to conduct an inventory of historic
sites and structures in the unincorporated portions of Chapel Hill
Township. Notice of the grant award was received in May, 1991,
consultants to conduct the inventory were approved in October, 1991, and
the inventory project was begun in December, 1991. The County share of
the project cost includes $5, 000 in matching funds and $5, 000 in in-kind
services. The project was completed in June, 1992, and, on August 26,
1992, a meeting was held with property owners, the Board of
Commissioners, Planning Board, and Rural Character Study Committee for
the purpose of presenting the inventory results. A copy of the final
report is provided as an attachment.
3. Phase II - Inventory of Remainder of County - In January, 1992,
Orange County applied for a $17, 000 grant to conduct an inventory of
historic sites and structures in the remaining unincorporated portions
of the county (six townships) . Notice of the grant award was received in
May, 1992, consultants to conduct the inventory were approved in
September, 1992 , and the inventory project was begun in October, 1992 .
The County share of the project cost includes $15, 000 in matching funds
and $15,000 in in-kind services. The inventory is expected to be
completed by the end of July, 1993 . A copy of the contract for the Phase
II project is provided as an attachment.
4. Adoption of Rules of Procedure - Rules of Procedure for the
Historic Preservation Commission were adopted in two parts on April 22,
1992 and May 27, 1992, respectively (see Attachment 4) .
5. Commission Reports - As a means of "gearing up" to accomplish its
role, the Historic Preservation Commission, through member, staff or
visitor reports, has considered a number of topics. These topics have
included:
a. Orange County Archaeological Sites [September, 1991]
b. Preparation of Historic Inventories [September, 1991]
c. Preparation of National Register Nominations [September, 1991]
d. Historic Occoneechee Mountain [October, 1991]
e. Viewshed Protection [October, 1991]
f. NCDOT Scenic Roads Program [December, 1991]
g. Union Grove Methodist Church History [December, 1991]
h. Orange County Historic Structures [December, 1991]
i. Renovation of Old Chapel Hill Cemetery [January, 1992]
j . Town of Hillsborough Historic Inventory [February, 1992]
k. Piedmont Architecture 1775-1930 [February, 1992]
1. Changes in Building Technology [February, 1992]
m. Durham Historic District Commission [March, 1992]
n. Substitute Siding [May, 1992]
o. Tree Topping [May, 1992]
p. Archaeology in Hillsborough [July, 1992]
6. Archaeological Survey/Chapel Hill Township - In February, 1992 , the
Commission approved a recommendation of the Planning Director and Vice-
Chair that a Planning Intern be employed to investigate some of the
sites identified as part of the Chapel Hill Township inventory, evaluate
the existing record regarding prehistoric archaeological sites in the
township, and, with the assistance of field school students from UNC,
select one site from the architectural historians' reports for a small
scale excavation.
7. Preservation Week 1992 - As part of national Preservation Week
activities (May 10-16, 1992) , the Commission prepared a proclamation for
the Board of Commissioners approval. The Commission also issued a press
release in local newspapers concerning Preservation Week and coordinated
with local reporters to have a news story (including photographs)
printed about the Chapel Hill Township inventory.
8. The Trails Clubhouse - The Trails is a subdivision located in the
southwestern portion of Orange County. The homeowners association would
like to demolish a portion of a small historic cabin used as a clubhouse
because of its poor condition. Two members of the Commission have been
working with the homeowners association since July, 1992 to find
alternative uses and have prepared cost estimates for repairing the
cabin.
9. University Station Land Use Plan Amendment - University Station is
a 620-acre planned community which was initially comprised of 1, 376
housing units and golf course development. Approximately half of the
housing units were to be located in. a neo-traditional village.
Although no decision has been made as yet by the Board of Commissioners
regarding the project, the Historic Preservation Commission asked staff
to have the architectural historians conducting the Phase II inventory
to inspect the site. In addition, members of the Commission, assisted by
an intern, collected information regarding the history of the site and
reviewed archaeological information submitted as part of an
environmental assessment. The information contained in the report to the
Commission is being provided to the developer.
10. Student/Intern Projects - Each year, the Planning Department
employs up to four Interns, depending upon the number of hours per week
that each Intern works. Currently, one Intern is a doctoral candidate in
the Archaeology program at UNC working on the project described in #6
above. Another student, a Master's Degree candidate at Duke University,
is preparing a report concerning a proposed Historic Landmarks Program
for the County.
In addition to the Interns on staff, the Director of Preservation N.C.
teaches a historic preservation class at UNC's School of City & Regional
Planning. Each year, for the past two years, he has contacted the
Planning Department to determine if there are projects on which his
students might work. One student prepared a report for the Commission
concerning the mechanics of undertaking an archaeological survey of the
county.
Finally, an architect-in-training contacted the Planning Department,
volunteering to work up to 80 hours to satisfy a service requirement for
his A.I.A. examination. The architect-in-training, using a computer
print-out of structures built in Bingham Township before 1939 , surveyed
each site to identify which structures existed and those that did not.
The information proved useful in preparation of the Phase II inventory
grant application as well as the architectural historians eventually
selected to do the work.
11. Town of Hillsborough Reservoir Site - The Commission Chair
corresponded with the Town of Hillsborough in June, 1992, advising the
Town of the Phase II inventory. The results of the inventory were
offered for use by the Town in evaluating alternative reservoir sites in
the northwest portion of the county.
12. Workshop Attendance - As part its continuing education efforts
and to keep abreast of current trends, Commission members as well as
Staff have attended a number of workshops and/or conferences. Among them
have been the following:
- 46th National Preservation Conference
- Historic Preservation Commission Workshop
- Certified Local Government Workshop
- Historic Preservation Foundation of N.C. Workshop
CHAPEL HILL TOWNSHIP SURVEY
FINAL REPORT
Kelly A. Lally and M. Ruth Little, Principal Investigators
June 1992
Methodology
The architectural survey of Chapel Hill Township is the first phase of the Orange
County survey. The remaining six townships in the county will be surveyed in
1992-1993. The town of Carrboro was surveyed in 1980; Chapel Hill is cur-
rently being surveyed.
Kelly A. Lally and M. Ruth Little served as Principal Investigators for the survey.
Kelly Lally has an MA in Folk Studies and conducted the survey of historic
resources in Wake County from 1988 to 1991 . M. Ruth Little of Longleaf His-
toric Resources has a Ph.D. in Art History and served as National Register Coor-
dinator and later as Survey Coordinator in the North Carolina State Historic
Preservation Office from 1986 to December 1989.
Fieldwork was conducted from December 1991 to April 1992. The consultants
spent sixteen days in the field and drove 1945 miles commuting from Raleigh to
the survey area and driving area roads. Using USGS quadrangles as field maps,
Lally and Little drove every accessible road and field-checked every older build-
ing coded on the quad maps outside the city limits of Carrboro and Chapel Hill
to identify and document historic properties over fifty years old. 160 properties
were recorded in detail, while other badly deteriorated, heavily altered, or ex-
tremely common resources were map-coded according to the State Historic
Preservation Office's map-code typology. Resources were evaluated by the
Principal Investigators and the State Historic Preservation Office staff for Nation-
al Register eligibility using the Secretary of Interior's criteria.
Properties were documented with computer forms, black and white photog-
raphs, and occasionally color slides; each property received a state survey num-
ber and was marked on the appropriate USGS map and aerial photo map of
Orange County. In the index and on the computer forms properties were de-
scribed geographically according to their locations on the field maps; street ad-
dresses were recorded when available. In addition, oral history information was
gathered from residents and local people when possible. All original survey files
and maps will be stored in the Survey and Planning Branch of the State Division
of Archives and History. Copies of the files will go to the Orange County Plan-
ning Department.
Character of Resources
The landscape of Chapel Hill Township is often strikingly beautiful because of
the steep, rocky terrain. The township is rapidly suburbanizing as new roads •
are cut into the woods and new houses are built, however, the effect is not as
detrimental as in many other suburban areas because many of the new develop-
ments respect the terrain and many of the lots are large.
Although this report is based on visual evidence and oral history, a summary of
the historical composition of the county drawn from secondary sources is help-
ful in evaluating visual and oral evidence.1 Orange County in the 1850s was a
county containing an extremely stable population of settlers who had emigrated
into the area in the 18th century. They were largely Scotch-Irish and Germans
who emigrated from Pennsylvania and English settlers who had emigrated from
Virginia. The county was typical of the upland South, with a population com-
posed largely of yeoman farming families. In 1860, 59% of the white male
heads of households owned no land, and 71 .5% of them owned no slaves.
Thirty-three percent of the white male household heads owned between one
and 250 acres and 21 .6% owned between one and nine slaves. Kinship was
more important than class in Orange County, for succeeding generations settled
adjacent to each other in ever growing neighborhoods that were extremely
stable. By the 1850s the county was extensively but thinly settled, with one
family for each 200 acres of land. In reality, families lived closer than this,
along creeks and rivers and in neighborhood clusters.
The initial reconaissance survey of Chapel Hill Township revealed very few his-
toric buildings, for we were driving the paved county roads, and few historic
houses stood on these roads. We were therefore surprised to find that there
were many more early buildings standing in the township than we had ex-
pected. These buildings were located on dirt roads, often one quarter to one-
half mile from the present road. We discovered that, prior to the early twentieth
century, farms in the township were linked by dirt paths that zigzagged from
one farm to another. In the early twentieth century the public roads were laid
out in more or less straight orientations between the rows of farms, leaving the
farmhouses sitting well-back from the new roads on long dirt driveways.
Another surprising discovery about the historic buildings of the township is that
almost one-third of the pre-1940 buildings are one-room log houses built be-
tween ca. 1810 and ca. 1905. This is a higher incidence of log building than
we expected. Fewer antebellum frame buildings were found than we expected.
The township was apparently composed primarily of small subsistence farms
throughout the nineteenth century. The farmers built their houses out of avail-
able materials, with the help of neighbors. Perhaps most remarkable is the fact
that most of these log houses are still principal residences, although they have
been enlarged either by adding wings to the log core or by adding a frame front
addition and turning the log house into the rear ell.
In the neighboring counties of Durham and Caswell, log houses are generally no
longer used for residential purposes and are either converted to outbuildings or
simply abandoned. By contrast, Orange County citizens preserve and often
cherish their log homesteads. Several reasons appear to explain this grass-roots
preservation ethic. Many of the current owners are highly educated individuals
drawn to Orange County through the university communities, and they have a
special appreciation for historic craftsmanship. Another reason is that the large
student population creates a high demand for rental housing, and students are
often happy to live in a deteriorated log dwelling which has a picturesque set-
ting and cheap rent. Yet another segment of the population living in log
homesteads are descendants of the farmers who built the houses, and they
preserve the log houses as part of their family history. Much family folklore is
associated with the old log homeplace, and although the children and grand-
children may have built newer houses next door, they cannot bear to tear
down the old house.
Most of the log homesteads in Chapel Hill Township have undergone so much
change in the process of making them larger and bringing them into conforma-
tion with current housing standards that they no longer retain the architectural
integrity necessary for National Register eligibility. It is difficult to enlarge a
one-room log house without destroying its integrity of form. Although this
house type is statistically the most common type in the survey, only one [OR
425: Neville House] of the properties recommended for the National Register
Study List as a result of the survey belongs to the type. Most of the eligible
farm complexes have log outbuildings. The kitchen of the Sam Couch Farm [OR
470], one of the eligible farms, was originally a log dwelling.
The purpose of this report is not to recommend preservation strategies to the
Orange County planning department, but several observations may not be out of
order. Private sector preservation is perhaps more successful in Chapel Hill
Township than in any other area of North Carolina. Very few of the historic
properties surveyed were unoccupied or endangered. Most were occupied or at
least in use by owners or occupants who appeared to value the architectural
character of the buildings. One of the most effective preservation strategies
might be the publication of a guide to Orange County's historic architecture that
celebrates the humble log homestead as well as the more obvious larger and
stylish historic landmarks. Another strategy might be to investigate how well
the current building code works in assisting the rehabilitation of historic build-
ings, especially of log buildings.
Farm Complexes
Until recently, the economy in Chapel Hill Township was agriculturally based like
the rest of Orange County. Despite increased residential and commercial devel-
opment around Carrboro and Chapel Hill, a number of farm complexes survive in
the township--some still in use for farming purposes. Fifty-five sizeable farm
complexes were documented in Chapel Hill Township, while most of the remain-
ing properties had at least one surviving outbuilding. Farmsteads are usually
comprised of the main farm dwelling and groups of domestic and agricultural
outbuildings, as well as any landscape features or acreage that accompany
them, such as trees, gardens, cultivated fields, woodlands, ponds, farm roads,
and fences.
Cotton and corn were the principal crops grown in Chapel Hill Township, which
predominantly has White Store Fine Sandy Loam soil that is not very favorable
for tobacco cultivation.2 Thus, very few of the distinctive tobacco-curing barns
that are found in much of the North Carolina piedmont are found in Chapel Hill
Township. Most of those that do exist, such as the two log barns on the Will
Mayse Farm [OR 483] are found near the edges of the township and built of log
construction. After the boll weevil inhibited cotton production in the 1920s,
many area farmers turned to dairy farming.
Outbuildings
The majority of outbuildings in Chapel Hill Township are of log construction, put
together with half-dovetail or V-notches, although frame outbuildings became
somewhat more common in the twentieth century. Most outbuildings are
simple rectangular, gable or shed-roofed structures that serve specialized pur-
poses, often identifiable only by people familiar with them. A number of out-
building types were found consistently on farms. Dairy farm buildings will be
treated separately.
A. Smokehouses
The smokehouse, where meat was cured and stored, is the most common
domestic outbuilding. The smokehouse on the William F. Cole Farm [OR 373]
exemplifes the smokehouses in the township: a small, gable-front, log structure
with half-dovetail notches, a batten front door, and a slightly overhanging front
gable.
B. Kitchens
4
Although many detached kitchens were undoubtedly torn down or attached to
main houses in the twentieth century, a high number of these important
domestic outbuildings survive. They are generally quite similar to the small
houses many. people inhabited: one-room buildings with gable-roofs and large
stone chimneys. Some, such as the the 18' by 25' log kitchen on the William
Couch Farm [OR 4711, actually were dwellings originally--used as kitchens when
new houses were built.
C. Wells and Wellhouses
Stone-lined wells with wooden or brick enclosures, often capped with an open
gable or hip-roofed shelter, were found on most farms in close proximity to the
main house. The John Joseph Whitfield Farm [OR 484] has a gable-roofed
wellhouse with the well in front and an enclosed storage closet behind it.
D. Barns
Barns for storing hay and livestock were quite common on all farms. There are
two main types of barns: gable-front and side-gable. Both have the same rec-
tangular shape. Side-gable barns are always constructed of log and have
entrances in the flanks and rectangular horizontal openings in one or both of the
gable ends, where hay or feed could pass through. With the exception of the
feed openings in the gable ends, these barns closely resemble the standard one=
room log house in the township and appear to be the earliest surviving barn
type in the township. The side-gable barn on the Lloyd Farm [OR 392] is a
good example. It has half-dovetail notches and appears to date from the mid-
nineteenth century. Gable-front barns are either of log or frame construction and
have entrances in the gable ends. An example of a. gable-front log barn is found
at the Vance Daniel Farm [OR 3741
E. Corn Cribs and Granaries
Well-ventilated rectangular cribs of loosely fit logs for storing corn were stan-
dard outbuildings on nearly every farm. Granaries for storing harvested grain
were found on several farms, including the Sam Couch Farm [WA 470], al-
though they are difficult to identify because they look like many other farm
buildings, one-story boxes with gable roofs and a door in the gable end. The
granary on the Lindsey-Wilson Farm does vary from this pattern. Two-stories
tall with doors at both levels, the building resembles a tobacco packhouse. In-
side, wooden bins that held the grain survive.
F. Cotton Houses
•
Cotton was the main cash crop on Chapel Hill Township farms, and some farms
had special storage buildings for the harvested crop. Like granaries, however,
cotton houses documented in Chapel Hill Township greatly resemble other farm
buildings from the exterior. The cotton house on the Sidney W. Crabtree Farm
[OR 366] stands next to the farm's smokehouse. They are nearly identical:
both are small, gable-front frame structures with gable-end doors.
Other outbuildings documented in smaller numbers in the township include
dairies, chicken houses, wagon shelters, wash houses, potato houses, privies,
and a few tobacco barns.
Arrangement of Farm Buildings
Outbuildings are generally clustered behind the farmhouse, with domestic build-
ings, such as kitchens and smokehouses, placed conveniently close to the main
house and agricultural buildings usually located a slight distance away. There
are no universal arrangements, although outbuildings are generally lined up in
several short rows behind or beside the farm house or placed in a rectangle,
forming a courtyard of sorts. Other times buildings are placed in seemingly ran-
dom clusters.
Three Chapel Hill Township farmsteads represent the wide variety of farmyard
arrangements. The Henry Lloyd House [OR 440] off Old Fayetteville Road faces
six outbuildings and a garden plot forming a rectangular farmyard across a dirt
road that once served as the road to Fayetteville. Included in the compound are
a log hay barn, frame stable, log sheep barn, log corn crib, and a frame cotton
house. The log barns all have v-notches. The whetstone, which sharpened
tools and farming implements, is still located at one end of the yard--an ex-
tremely rare survival. The smokehouse and well are characteristically located
next to the house.
The Lindsey-Wilson Farm contains a full complement of log and frame outbuild-
ings dating from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. The
collection includes a V-notched log kitchen with massive stone rubble chimney,
a half-dovetail smokehouse, v-notched hay barn, and a two-story frame granary,
all of which appear to be of nineteenth century vintage. The smokehouse,
kitchen, well, milkhouse, and chicken houses are located in the yard behind the
house, while the farm buildings, such as the granary, corn crib, hay barn, and
milking barn are found in the side yard several -hundred feet from the domestic
complex.
The Lloyd Farm [OR 392] in the western section of the township shows an un-
usual arrangement: all five mid-to-late nineteenth century outbuildings are lined
up with the farmhouse in one straight horizontal row. The house is again sepa-
rated-from the agricultural buildings by several hundred feet. The farm buildings
are closely-spaced and include a frame garage, frame tobacco packhouse, log
corn crib with board and batten exterior walls, a v-notched log mule stable, and
the typical local hay barn, built of logs joined with half-dovetail notches with a
v-notched log side additon. These buildings face a concrete block milking barn
added in the 1950s.
Dairy Farms
Many Chapel Hill Township farmers turned from cotton production to dairy
farming from the 1920s to the 1950s. Dairy farms required specialized out-
buildings, including large cow barns,milking barns, milk cooling facilities, .hay
barns, and feed silos in addition to the standard domestic farm buildings. Most
of the the dairy buildings in Orange County were probably built according to
plans and specifications provided by the Agricultural Extension Service or North
Carolina State University.
The Bryant Nevilles Farm aptly illustrates the transition of many small farm-
steads to dairy farms. The Nevilles farm retains its original 1860s log
homestead and smokehouse, but these traditional buildings are surrounded by a
modern 1920s bungalow and dairy farm buildings added by Bryant's son, Jesse,
and his grandson, Lacy, from the 1920s to the 1950s. Among these later build-
ings are a 1924 gable-roofed cow barn; a 1925 frame milking barn, which still
retains milking machinery; a frame hay barn; a 1950s concrete block milk cool-
ing house; and two 1950s silos. Other area dairy farms, such as the Doc
McClennan Farm [OR 382] display the large, picturesque gambrel-roofed frame
barns typically associated with dairy farms.
Antebellum Frame Houses
Seven frame houses of antebellum date stand in Chapel Hill Township. These
are as follows:
OR 365:Smith-Cole House, 1845. 2-story center passage
OR 431 :Lloyd-Rogers House: 1850s 2-story center passage
OR 435: John Kirkland House: 1850s? 2-story side-hall
OR 470: Sam Couch Farm: ca. 1848 hall-and-parlor 2-story
OR 347: Williams House: 1850s? hall-and-parlor 1 1/2 story
OR 491 :Patterson House: 1830s? 2-story center passage
OR 400: Smyth House: 1850s? Gk. Rev, hall-and-parlor
Five retain some degree of antebellum integrity, but the Lloyd-Rogers House and
the Patterson House have undergone a great deal of alteration. Three of the
group, the Smith-Cole House, the Lloyd-Rogers House, and the Patterson
House, are two-story center passage houses that symbolize the grand plantation
house in scale and design. The Sam Couch House is a more compact two-story
hall-and-parlor house, and the Williams House is a 1 1/2 story hall-and-parlor
house. Rather than assuming that the township had a number of plantation
houses that have been demolished, it is more likely that there were very few
antebellum farmers that had sufficient cash to construct a fine frame house.
Production of a frame house would have been far more labor-intensive than the
erection of a log house, which was a community undertaking utilizing tree
trunks.
The two best-preserved antebellum frame houses in the township are the Smith-
Cole House and the Sam Couch House. The Smith-Cole House on Smith Level
Road was the seat of a huge plantation owned by three Smith siblings who
were raised in Hillsborough. One brother was a doctor, one a lawyer, and the
sister kept house. The house, built in 1845, stands virtually unaltered. It is a
double pile Federal style house, a conservative design for the 1840s when the
Greek Revival style was in vogue. The exterior has high quality and stylish
though dated features. It is one of the few early houses in the township with
chimneys constructed completely of brick, instead primarily of fieldstone. It has
molded cornice boards, raking cornices with pattern boards, and original porch
classical style porch posts. The interior is surprisingly bare and simple, with
plaster walls, a simple wainscot in the hall, extremely simple Greek Revival style
mantels and a boxy stair. It appears that the interior was finished off some
years after the house was built, and perhaps not as finely as had originally been
intended.
The Sam Couch House was built about 1848 and is a single-pile hall-and-parlor
house, therefore considerably smaller and less architecturally pretentious than
the Smith-Cole House. It also has a one-story shed porch across the front, and
its exterior end chimneys are constructed completely of brick. The front and
rear windows have Greek Revival style cornerblock surrounds, found on only
one other house in the township, the Smyth House. The interior has wood
sheathed walls, simple Greek Revival mantels and doors, and an enclosed
corner stair rising from the hall to the second floor bedrooms.
The Lloyd-Rogers House is a substantial single-pile, center passage house that
has lost its integrity due to twentieth century alterations. It retains one unique
feature for the township in that it is built on a raised brick basement. Root cel-
lars are a common feature beneath log and frame houses in the township, but
this is the only house with a raised basement.
The Patterson House is a double-pile, center passage antebellum house built by
a family that owned vast acreage as well as the now demolished Patterson Grist
Mill, but Colonial Revival renovations, probably in the 1920s or later, have
obscured the original design of the house. The tripartite Federal style mantels
may be original, but it is likely that the Adamesque trim and arched niches flank-
ing the fireplace in the parlor are Colonial Revival.
The Log House
Approximately fifty, almost one-third, of the 160 recorded properties in the
township are log houses. This high percentage is surprising, but even more sur-
prising is the fact that, with the exception of several Craftsman style log houses
of the 1920s-1930s, all of these are the same house form: one-room with a
loft. This house type has a side gable roof, a gable end chimney of fieldstone
with a brick stack, and a front and rear door. The logs are square-hewn,
notched at the corners, most often with V-notching, but sometimes with half-
dovetail or diamond notching. The interior generally has an enclosed corner
stair to the loft. In several of the smaller log houses, there is a ladder stair to
the loft. The exterior log walls are sometimes weatherboarded, but surprisingly
often have remained uncovered. There is always a front and rear door, and al-
most always several windows, usually with 6/6 sash or 4/4 double-hung sash.
The smallest log house that was measured is 13 1/2 by 17 1/2 feet [OR 389:
Reeves House] and the largest measured is 20'8" by 24 ' 7" [OR 434 Sam &
Laura Nunn House]. The earliest construction date that can be documented is
the 1827 date carved into the chimney of the Craig-Strayhorn-Blackwood House
[OR 457], although the Craig-Blackwood House [OR 452] is said to have been
built in 1811 . The latest documented log house is the Sam and Laura Nunn
House, built about 1905, although OR 404 is a sawn log house that appears to
have been built in the 1920s or 1930s. A group of houses have oral history
that associates their construction with the time of the Civil War. For exammple,
William Shambley built his log house [OR 466] about 1860 just before leaving
for the war; Bryant Nevilles built his log house [OR 386] during the war.
It is difficult to date these log houses by physical examination, for there are
seldom any stylistic features that would indicate a construction date, and the
types of saw marks in the sawn lumber and the technology of the nails that
would indicate construction date are often difficult to find beneath layers of
recent materials. One construction feature that seems to be a general indicator
of age is chimney size. In general, the earlier the construction date, the larger
the chimney. The Neville House [OR 425] is a particularly significant log house
because not only is it well-preserved on the exterior, but it retains a Federal
style mantel on the interior that is probably original.
The high number of standardized log houses suggests several things about
Orange County during the nineteenth century. It appears to have been a county
dominated by small farms. Although the ethnic background of the settlers may
not have been homogeneous, there must have been a good deal of community
involvement in log house construction, since the same house type occurs over
and over. Just to the north, in Caswell County, log houses were built in several
different forms, from the single pen to the double pen to the saddlebag and the
dogtrot. But here in the Chapel Hill township of Orange County not a single ex-
ample of any other traditional type than the single pen log house was recorded.
There are just two 2-story single-pen log houses recorded in the township, and
all of the rest are one and one-half stories..
Two or three informants spoke quite specifically about the method of construc-
tion of these log houses. Each of these long-time Orange County residents re-
membered that log houses were built by four men, one standing at each corner
to fit the logs into place. Annabel Lloyd, the daughter of Sam Nunn, who built
the most recently documented log house, even remembers the names of two of
the three builders. She recalled that her father and three local men (Monroe
Partin, Green Johnson, and a third man whom she cannot recall) built their 2-
story log house about 1905. [Sam & Laura Nunn House, Or 4341 It is logical
that all of the houses would look alike if they were all being built by the com-
munity. When questioned as to why there were so many log houses in the
area, people invariably replied that there weren't any nearby saw mills, and fur-
thermore, that milled lumber was expensive.
Schools and Churches
Three frame early twentieth century schoolhouses were recorded in the
township:
OR 368: former Smith Level School
OR 384: former Damascus Church School
OR 493: former Hickory Grove School.
All of these are one or*one and one-half story front gable buildings, and all have
been converted to houses and have lost much of their integrity. Hickory Grove
School was built to serve the black community west of Carrboro, the other two
were built for white communities.
The most significant historic school standing in the township is the former Mur-
phy School [OR 467] on Old NC 10 southeast of Hillsborough. It was built in
the 1920s as part of the school modernization and consolidation movement
throughout the state. It is a large, one-story brick building with lots of big
windows and a stylish hip roof. A few years after construction, a brick
auditorium with a Doric portico was added to the west end of the school. Be-
hind the school is a large frame bungalow that may have been built as a
teacherage, for the six or eight teachers who staffed this school would have
needed somewhere to room and board. If this was a teacherage, it is an un-
usual survival, for few teacherages in North Carolina are still standing.
Four historic churches were recorded in the township. The two oldest church
buildings are the Bethel Baptist Church [OR 405] and the Damascus Congrega-
tional Christian Church [OR 383], both built about 1900. Both are of frame con-
struction and Gothic Revival styling. Both churches have been covered with
artificial siding in recent years and have lost some of their architectural integrity.
Bethel Church has a picturesque pyramidal-roofed tower located beside its main
front-gable block.
Union Grove Methodist Church [OR 492] is also Gothic Revival in style, but is a
stone building constructed in 1946. Neville Chapel United Church of Christ [OR
402] is a small, front-gable frame building constructed in the early twentieth
century for a black congregation known as Strowd Grove Church but has been
considerably altered in recent years.
None of the historic church cemeteries that were recorded have graves with
death dates earlier than the 1860s. It seems that residents utilized family
graveyards on the farms until after the Civil War. The most interesting early
gravestones are at New Hope Presbyterian Church Cemetery [OR 458]. The
earliest gravemarker is a crude native stone headstone for infant Vernon Craig,
who died in 1868. His stone notes that his was "the first grave in this ground."
The stylish marble headstone of David K. Blackwood, who died in 1859, notes
that he was reinterred at New Hope in 1912 from the family burying ground.
Very few family burying grounds were found. These must have had homemade
fieldstone markers and must not have been well-maintained.
Stylish Late 19th and Early 20th Century Farmhouses
Until the early twentieth century, farmhouses in Chapel Hill township are of
vernacular design, and belong to one of three types: the one-room log house,
the one-story frame single-pile, side-gable house, or the 2-story frame single-
pile, side-gable house (often known as the I-house). The majority of these
houses are plain, vernacular houses that use locally available materials and have
no stylish ornament.
The Herbert McCauley House [OR 391], Vance Daniel House [OR 374], and
Matthew Strowd House [OR 441] are the best-preserved examples of farm-
houses constructed after the recovery from the Civil War, in the 1870s to
1890s, by upper middle-class farmers. Each is a substantial frame I-house with
a double-leaf front door and a stylish front porch. These houses mark the
height of development of the vernacular farmhouse in the late nineteenth
century. These center passage, single-pile houses with open-string staircases
represent a complete break from the one-room log house in which the majority
of farm families lived.
By the 1890s, more elaborate store-bought millwork began to be used on doors,
windows, and porches. Two vernacular farmhouses stand out because of their
lavish use of store-bought millwork. Perhaps the most fashionable house is the
Cole House [Or 371], built about 1900, presumably by William Cole for his
daughter when she married. The L-plan farmhouse has a front-gabled wing with
a bay window with pendanted eaves, an L-shaped front porch with sawnwork
brackets and a drip course, and cross-gables with imbricated wood shingles and
diamond-shaped ventilators. The Pritchard-Poythress House [OR 375] was built
in the 1890s for grist mill owner Pritchard, and is an I-house with a front cross-
gable, a fashionably bracketted front porch, and a side bay window with
pendanted eaves. Another stylish feature is the construction of the chimneys,
which are of brick rather than the usual fieldstone.
About 1910 three different affluent farmhouse types appear in the township:
the pyramidal cottage, the two-story foursquare, and the bungalow. Charlie
and Sophie Minor, a black farming couple, had a pyramidal cottage [OR 388]
built on their farm about 1910. It has the high hipped roof, tall interior chim-
neys, and front cross gable that characterize this popular house type. Claude
and Ola Neville had their two-story frame foursquare farmhouse [OR 385] built
in the 1920s. Claude was a prosperous farmer who supplemented his income
with a grocery store in Carrboro. Around 1918 Brodie Lloyd had a spacious
bungalow [OR 446] constructed for himself. He was an affluent farmer who
supplemented his income with a lumber company in Carrboro. His house is one
of the largest and best-preserved bungalows in the township.
