Hinton Rowan Helper House, Historic landmark residence in Mocksville, United States.
The pine log building with clapboard siding contains a central structure and extensions, featuring a porch beneath a gabled roof extending across the front.
The property, constructed on Daniel Boone's former land, served as the childhood residence of influential author Hinton Rowan Helper from 1829 to 1849.
The residence carries significance as the birthplace of The Impending Crisis of the South, a book that influenced the Republican campaign during the 1860 election.
Located on United States Route 64 north of Mocksville, the residence stands on a 1.5-acre parcel marked by a state historical indicator.
The front parlor retains exposed log construction elements and original split log thresholds from its initial construction period.
