History: The John Eli Corpening House, completed in 1856, is one of the most architecturally significant antebellum residences in Caldwell County. Constructed of handmade brick and designed with restrained Greek Revival detailing, the dwelling reflected both the prosperity and social standing of its owner, John Eli Corpening. Historic architectural surveys have identified the house as one of only two double-pile brick residences erected in Caldwell County during the antebellum period, placing it among the county most substantial and historically important nineteenth- century homes. (The other is Clover Hill located in Patterson). The John Eli Corpening House embodies the Greek Revival style that dominated American architecture during the decades before the Civil War. Its symmetrical brick faade, double-pile floor plan, dominated by a two-story classical portico supported by plain Tuscan-order columns reflected the influence of classical Greek architecture while adapting those ideals to the agricultural landscape of Caldwell County. The double-tier portico, provided shade, ventilation, and an expression of prosperity, making the residence one of the county most architecturally distinguished antebellum homes. The residence served as the center of the Corpening plantation, known locally as Calico, and remains an important example of the agricultural and architectural heritage of Caldwell County. Other notable features include paired chimneys, each with a single –stepped shoulder attached to the side facades and a typical entrance consisting of a two-leaf door framed by recessed transom and sidelights all within a symmetrically molded structure. The house is constructed with double- wythe walls. This construction method involves an exterior brick layer and an interior brick layer with space in between. Designed for structural support, fire resistance and moisture control. The heating system which was specifically designed for the house which uses hot water to heat the brick allowing it to maintain its warmth. The well executed interior is a classic Greek revival plan and features post and lintel mantels, molded door and window surrounds, wide baseboards and a closed stringer stair curvilinear bracket ornamenting the stringer board and plaster walls. The double-pile floor plan – two rooms deep from the front to the back and there is a hallway between each two-room segment. Symmetry was a big part of the Greek Revival Style designed for grandeur and formal living. The roof is slate and was recently installed and has copper flashing. Whether you're seeking a private homestead, hobby farm, equestrian retreat, or a historic treasure to preserve, this rare offering is truly unlike anything else on the market.
