NPS Form 10 - 900 - a OMB No . 1024 - 0018 United . States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section 8 Page 22 Woodville Historic District Bertie County, North Carolina the c . 1807 King-Freeman- Speight House in Bertie County. Its parlor mantel is quite similar to a mantel in the Bazemore House . The William Pugh House, a two - story side gable house, is one of the most intact ornate Federal houses in eastern North Carolina. Its exuberant plasterwork was surely executed by the same artisan who worked at Woodbourne, a tripartite house built c . 1810 at Roxobel for Thomas Figures Norfleet . The ca . 1840 Thompson-Urquhart House is a characteristic two - story, three-bay hip roofed Greek Revival plantation house of the Roanoke Valley . Its original airy sawnwork porch (now replaced) was a specialty of the type . A similar house of about 1840 is Hickory Hill , in the Hamilton vicinity of Martin County across the Roanoke River . The Averitt-Pugh-Thompson House, a two - story double pile house in the locally popular Greek Revival4talianate idiom, retains hood molds similar to those at the nearby Lewis Cotten House (demolished) which stood near Roxobel . Before it lost its original porch, the Averitt-Pugh - Thompson House may have resembled The Cedars ( Speight House) in nearby Edgecombe County, built ca . 1860 . Its design features the Italianate vernacular at its liveliest, with hood molds and a fanciful lattice porch . 18 When Thomas Thompson built his Italianate one- story house on Canady ' s Hill_ about 1863 he may have been influenced by William Ranlett ' s popular 1847 patternbook, The Architect. The Garrett-Wiggins House in Edgecombe County was built in 1854 , its lavish Italianate details probably drawn from this book. The 1845 St . Frances Methodist Church, attributed to regional builder Thomas Bragg, is a simple Greek Revival building with a fine interior . Grace Episcopal Church of 1854 reflects pattern book Gothic Revival designs popular at the time , Antebellum outbuildings , including slave quarters surviving at the Thompson -Urquhart House and perhaps at the William Pugh House, an overseer ' s house at Thompson-Urquhart House, meat houses , dairies, and general ide a remarkable material record of the activities of antebellum plantations . The two late storage buildings, prov 19th century brick , outbuildings , one a dairy and one an ice house, at the Thompson -Urquhart House are of particular architectural merit for their creative eave ventilation features . Like other well-to - do farmers of northeastern North Carolina, Woodville ' s citizens turned to Norfolk, Virginia not just as a market where they sold agricultural products and purchased goods , but also as a cultural center .
