Historic Pfafftown

Between 1981 and 2006, 33 properties within the Pfafftown community were survey by the NC State Historic Preservation Office.Years ago, just after the turn of the century the heart of Pfafftown centered around the intersection of Transou Road and Yadkinville Road was analyzed as a prospective “Pfafftown Historical District”. Unfortunately, due to resource alteration, loss and new construction the area has been deeply impacted, affecting its viability.

However, two houses that were surveyed have been designated in the National Register of Historic Places as Local Historic Landmarks: The John Jacob Schaub House and the John Henry Pfaff House. Three properties have been listed in the NC Study List for the National Register (Pfafftown United Church of Christ, Pfafftown Christian Church, and Jeremiah Bahnson Conrad House at 2650 Spicewood Drive.

In 1992 five other properties, including the Claude Transou House (below left and right) were deemed eligible for the National Register.

Below is a list of the properties surveyed, four of which have been demolished. You can read the result of each survey by following the links.
