Description
-
Historic Status: National Register of Historic Places
-
Floor Plan: Center Passage Single
-
The Glore House is a stylish and well-preserved dwelling in the Gothic Revival style, built on the center-passage, double-pile plan. Local tradition asserts that the house cost $750 to build–-a huge sum in that day. While neighbors thought the Glores foolish for such extravagance, they nonetheless traveled from far and wide to inspect the house.
-
The building is capped with a steeply pitched, cross-gabled roof of raised-seam metal; Italianate-style "sandwich" brackets accent the eaves. The main doorway is centered on the facade and incorporates a transom sash, bullseye corner blocks and chamfered colonnettes; a matching doorway is centered above, in the second story. The simple, one-bay entry porch is a sympathetic recent addition.
-
North of the house is the only documented double-crib log barn in the county, enclosed within a shed of newer timber construction. A large transverse-gable, timber-frame tobacco barn stands along the road.
-
The house was added to the National Register in 2001.
