Abstract:
Schumann describes the Horton Grove Quarters which stand on Stagville Plantation, a state-owned preservation teaching center north of Durham. The houses were built for plantation slaves. Only four structures remain after 125 years, and these are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They were selected for this designation because they are among the few remaining slaves houses in North Carolina and because of the workmanship of the slaves who built them.
