National Register of Historic Places - Zebulon H. Baird House

Statement of Significance: The Zebulon H. Baird House, with a period of significance of ca. 1878, the date of construction, is an excellent local example of a pre-railroad-era T-plan house with elaborate exterior architectural ornamentation, including scrollwork balustrades and cornice decoration, heavily molded and hooded window surrounds, and corbelled chimneys, unusual for Weaverville, North Carolina at this date. While moved from one part of the original acreage associated with the house to a section further south on the same property, the house is oriented as it was originally at a slightly lower elevation, and retains a great deal of architectural integrity. The house meets National Register Criterion C and Criterion Consideration B as it is significant primarily for it its architectural value. The move was necessary to prevent its demolition. Its new location is similar to its original setting in terms of orientation, setting, and general environment, although approximately thirty feet closer to Weaverville Road. It retains integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling.
