Popular house types during this <br /> period included the Craftsman inspired bungalow and Period Revival houses such as the <br /> Colonial Revival and Greek Revival styles. <br /> Sixteen farmhouses and/or farmsteads have been recommended to the Study List: William F. <br /> Cole farm (ca 1920), Vance Daniel farm (ca 1892), Charles Davis farm (ca 1890), Benjamin <br /> Duke house (1891), Walter Hawkins farm (ca.1900), Dr. Arch C.

Three other <br /> churches have been recommended for the Study List: Carr United Methodist (1915), <br /> Harmony Primitive Baptist(ca 1880), and Bethel Baptist(ca 1900). <br /> • Schools: Paramount in importance when considering schools for National Register-listing are <br /> integrity, feeling, and association. Due to their importance, thresholds for integrity are lower <br /> than for other institutional buildings such as churches. Original location and site should be <br /> considered and maintained as should the original form, window treatment, architectural <br /> details, and building materials. <br /> One school site, Bingham School, is currently listed on the National Register. Two other <br /> schools have been recommended for the Study List: Murphy School and Teacherage (1925), <br /> and White Cross School(1933). <br /> • Rural Mills and Stores: To be considered eligible for the National Register, a store should <br /> be in its original location and retain much of its interior and exterior fabric.
