excellent info, thanks. The home is in the town of Middlebury if that
makes any difference. Do all homes in all states in the US comply with
NEC, or do the regulations of states and cities ever override anything in
the NEC?

Most use the Nec as their basic electric code, and some make changes to fit
their specific demands. If they have supplemental codes, they have to be
documented and available for viewing, which is to say, they can't have an
inspector make it up as he sees fit. What state is Middlebury in?
