I think I can explain the weird layout: This design is typical of modest NC farmhouses from the late 1800's and early 1900's. They're shaped like the letter T with the kitchen at the bottom of the T. I'm not sure but I think this design is based off the concept of a separate summer kitchen. That way the heat from the kitchen didn't make the whole house hot. I think you missed the interior door to the kitchen. There it is at 2:42. The concrete part on the back is most likely a later addition from the 1930's (going by the fake rock facade) and my guess is that it was added as a bathroom, possibly to an existing porch. "Back porch bathrooms" were a thing. I see the bathroom in the main house too, but it could've been done later or they needed two bathrooms. Could've also been used as a separate laundry.

Yes, I live in Lenoir County where it is mostly rural in the inner banks of eastern NC. Homes originally had separate kitchens, but one common layout for early to mid 19th century homes in this area is the semi-detached kitchen. Often the kitchen was connected to the main house by a breezeway or piazza. Having the separate kitchen reduced the risk of fire in the main dwelling from the kitchen. As the 1800's progressed kitchens were incorporated into the rear ell.

That has a familiar ring: I grew up in a house from 1926. Originally there was one bathroom; upstairs and no shower. The house was added onto in the back, maybe in the late 1950's, and a bathroom was added on the first floor level and again there was no shower. THEN...a garage was built on with an apartment above, maybe at the same time, so there was a third bathroom but I can't recall if the tub had a shower.

Great find! I've some catching up to do! I hope the two of you are well. I love these old houses! I always love seeing the little things like door knob and key lock assemblies, fireplace mantles, woodwork, and everything. As old as this house is, your are right about the kitchen having been added later. Kitchens were in a separate building from these old houses. The building at 12:38 was probably where it originally was. That would explain the door on the house being right there. You may not have seen that door as it may have been walled over. Great explore, really enjoyed it!

Given the location, normally I'd agree that it was the summer kitchen, but the material it's constructed with is more consistent with the 1930's or 40's, maybe even later so I'm confused about its purpose. It looks like a block construction with a rock facade exterior, like this: www.phillyhistory.org/blog/index.php/2018/06/fake-facades-the-polyester-of-brick/ as opposed to matching the rest of the house's construction.

I was noticing the built-in shelves next to the fireplace that was at the end of a wall. Those two features seem to be fairly common in that part of the country. I live in south-central Indiana and of the old houses I've been in and seen I don't recall ever seeing built-in shelves or a fireplace that wasn't in the center of a wall. Maybe the placement of fireplaces and the use of the built-ins is unique to that part of the country. I'll have to watch some more videos!

I've lived in eastern North Carolina where it is mostly rural with many small towns since 1992, and this type of house is a true Carolina classic and a staple here. I've seen many with this styling in the country, and there are some in the small towns. Some are single story with the side gable roof and rear ell with the kitchen and service rooms behind the front part with the main living quarters, like what you see here. Sometimes a house was originally a single story from the 1800's with a two-story addition later added as the family needed more space.

Here in eastern NC, basements are rare to come by. Most of the time it's a crawl space, due to the water table. Still would be interesting to look into a crawlspace to see how the home was built and what type of support joists they have, rather it be logs or sawn lumber.

Where is this house? It looks familiar. Was there a cemetery with one headstone around a large tree in the field on the right? It looks like the house my mom n aunt were born in and the house my Grandfather passed in in 1941. In fact I’m pretty sure it is. I have photos of this home during the 1930’s-1940’s. I’ve been in this home multiple times. The cemetery is probably overgrown n not visible anymore. It’s been abandoned for years but I believe my cousin n her family still owns the property.
