<br /> RE: Landmark Designation Report for the Dr. Arch Jordan House, 7015 NC 57, Caldwell vicinity,
<br /> Orange County
<br /> Dear Mr. Sandbeck:
<br /> Thank you for the report for the Dr. Arch Jordan House located at 7015 NC 57 in the vicinity of
<br /> Caldwell.We have reviewed the information in the report and offer the following comments in accordance
<br /> with North Carolina General Statute 160A-400.4.
<br /> The Dr. Arch Jordan House is the best-preserved and most stylish example of the Italianate style in rural
<br /> Orange County. It is also locally significant due to its associations with the practice of medicine in rural
<br /> Orange County, the rural economy, and the Presbyterian Church in Caldwell. The house, built ca. 1875, for
<br /> Dr. Archibald Currie Jordan, is an ornate, center hall, single-pile, two-story frame house with Italianate
<br /> detailing. Dr. Jordan contributed greatly to the largely isolated, rural community of Caldwell and its vital
<br /> institutions. He served as the community's physician at the house from 1881-1906 and as a teacher, trustee,
<br /> and financial supporter of the Caldwell Institute. He and his brother opened the Jordan Brothers' Store, a
<br /> general store/pharmacy across the street from the house that provided local residents with goods and
<br /> prescriptions. In Caldwell, like many rural communities, church served as a central social institution and
<br /> by 1904, the house was used as a manse for three local Presbyterian Churches. The building retains a good
<br /> level of material integrity with all original wood siding, wood window sashes and trim, cornices with sawn
<br /> eave brackets, front porch components, doors and original louvered blinds. Changes are confined to the
<br /> rear of the house, including the enlargement of the original kitchen and addition of a new one-story rear
<br /> kitchen and screen porch. The house also retains several outbuildings including a contributing ca. 1900
<br /> main barn and log tobacco barn. We believe the local designation report provides sufficient information for
<br /> the Orange County Historic Preservation Commission and the local governing board to determine if the Dr.
<br /> Arch Jordan House has the requisite special significance and integrity for landmark designation.
<br /> Please note, the property may contain archaeological resources associated with the house or outbuildings.
<br /> Care should be taken to avoid inadvertent damage or destruction of these resources during any ground
<br /> disturbing activities.
<br /> Landmark designation means the community recognizes a property as an important historic resource
<br /> worthy of preservation. Any substantial exterior design changes to a designated landmark are subject to the
