National Register of Historic Places - Samuel Bartley Holleman House

Statement of Significance: The Samuel Bartley Holleman House in the New Hill vicinity of southwestern Wake County, North Carolina, is a notable example of the transitional Queen Anne-Colonial Revival architectural style built across Wake County in the early years of the twentieth century. Other Wake County examples of this transitional style range from modestly sized houses with Queen Anne massing and token classical detailing to sophisticated examples that elaborately dress the older massing in rich classical elements. The Holleman House, a substantial dwelling, falls in the middle of this spectrum, more fully representing the transitional nature of this trend than other examples at both its exterior and interior. Context 3, "Populism to Progressivism (1885-1918)," pages 46-64 in "Historic and Architectural Resources of Wake County, North Carolina, Ca. 1770-1941" (MPDF) provides the historic context for the construction of the Holleman House. The locally significant Holleman House falls under Property Type 3B, "Houses Built Between the Civil War and World War I," pages 131-136, which provides its architectural context. Houses in Wake County are significant as reflections of the architectural trends that reached the county and the choices and adaptations that people made in terms of architectural design and style. Additional architectural context and historical information specific to the house is included herein. Individual houses in Wake County must retain a high level of integrity to be considered eligible under Criterion C for architectural significance, according to the registration requirements on pages 141-142 of the MPDF. The Holleman House exhibits excellent architectural integrity, retaining all of its original materials and detailing on the exterior and a great proportion of notable interior finishes- particularly the breadboard walls and ceilings and the several mantel designs. The period of significance for the house is 1913, the date of its construction. A small collection of domestic outbuildings built around the same time stand near the house in rear and side yards and also retain excellent architectural integrity. They contribute to the historic setting of this impressive house.
