D. Property has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. According to the nomination form, the The Maude Faucette House is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places because it embodies distinctive characteristics of an architectural type, a period, or method of construction. The house is a good representative example of an early-nineteenth century (c. 1820), two- story frame farm house of the Eno River Valley. The largely unaltered house is one of the oldest surviving structures in rural Orange County and retains its early form and its original setting overlooking the banks of the Eno River. Following the close of the public hearing, the Historic Preservation Commission reviewed and discussed the nomination to determine if the Maude Faucette House meets or does not meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. As indicated in the draft minutes of the 5126!99 meeting, the HPC determined that the Maude Faucette House meets the criteria for listing. The Board of Commissioners and the Historic Preservation Commission must separately notify the State and the property owners of their recommendations by July 8, 1999. The nomination will be presented to the North Carolina National Register Advisory Committee on July 8, 1999. The Committee's recommendation will then be forwarded to the US Department of the Interior National Park Service. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Not applicable. RECOMMENDATION(S): Administration Recommendation. Based upon the finding of the Orange County Historic Preservation Commission, The Administration recommends approval of the National Register Nomination of the Maude Faucette House.
