Moore County Hunt Lands and Mile-Away Farms is a historic district near Southern Pines in Moore County, listed in the National Register in 2013. Its buildings date mainly from 1929, with further construction c. 2012-2013, in the Colonial Revival and Front-Gable Cottage styles.
Why it's listed
It was listed under criteria A, B and C, with state-level significance in architecture, social history, entertainment/recreation and conservation. Its period of significance runs from 1929 to 1963, reflecting construction that began in 1929, with 1963 marking the fire that destroyed a frame stable at Verner Reed's estate.
Physical character
The district's 2,852 acres include contributing buildings with brick, weatherboard, stucco, stone or vinyl walls on brick or concrete-block foundations, under tin, aluminum, asphalt or metal roofs. A barn's metal roof was replaced with pre-painted green sheet metal in 2009-2010, and vinyl siding added in the 1980s was removed in 2012, when an eight-stall ell was added c. 2012.
Historical context
The Moore County Hounds, established in 1914, moved to new kennels at Mile-Away in 1942, when William Ozelle Moss became master and the Mosses adopted the name Mile-Away Farms; he served as master, joint master and huntsman until his death in 1976. Boylston Adams Tompkins built a residence at The Paddock in 1929, converted its dairy barn into stables for sixteen horses, and later built The Paddock Jr. there in 1950-1951.
