1805
House
Opens
Now open to the public is the 1805
Stevenson house, one of the few struc¬
tures surviving more than a century
and a half on the Tryon Palace Square
at New Bern.
Completely restored and appropri¬
ately furnished by the Tryon Palace
Commission with money from the be¬
quest of the late Mrs. James Edwin
Latham, of Greensboro. Palace Resto¬
ration donor, the handsome, three-
story. frame dwelling is regarded as
an outstanding example of early 19th
century architecture.
Built in coastal style by local work¬
men for local residents, the home is
notable for its unique captains, or
widow's walk; its original, hand-
carved. rope woodwork; its large,
arched hallway; and its attractive side
rooms, typical of New Bern.
The edifice thus complements the
Georgian brick palace, designed al¬
most forty years previously “in the
pure English taste" by an English ar¬
chitect for Royal Governor William
Tryon and other British officials.
Restoration and furnishing of the
mansion have been under way for
the past three years and results of the
labors and purchases of the commis¬
sion members arc considered most suc¬
cessful and pleasing by all who have
had previews.
Fine antiques of the Federal period,
supplemented by some of the Empire
period, provide correct accessories for
the Front Hall, two adjoining Draw¬
ing Rooms and Dining Room on the
first floor; the "Tulip" bedroom. "Blue"

bedroom and "Green" bedroom on the
second floor; two simple bedrooms and
child's playroom on the third floor.
Throughout the house arc Oriental and
other antique rugs. The window hang¬
ings are designed in the style charac¬
teristic of the Federal period.
Among the early owners of the dwell¬
ing were John H. Haywood, of Ra¬
leigh. former Speaker of the State
House of Representatives and after¬
wards United States Senator; John H.
Haughton. during whose tenure when
New Bern was captured by Federal
forces in 1862 it was used as a hospi¬
tal for the Ninth Vermont Regiment;
and Charles Slover. who gave it as a
wedding gift to his son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. W.
Stevenson. Sr. The Stevenson families
lived there for 79 years.
The residence was purchased in
1957 by the Tryon Palace Commis¬
sion, with the Latham money, and pre¬
sented to the State. Deciding to pre¬
serve its beauty and share it with the
public, the commission members,
headed by Mrs. John A. Kellcnbcrger.
of Greensboro, daughter of Mrs. La¬
tham and chairman of the commission,
have devoted their time, talents and
means to make the place well worth
viewing.
It is open for visitors weekdays ex¬
cept Monday from 9:30 to 4 and Sun¬
day afternoons from 1:30 to 4. Ad¬
mission fees of SI for adults and 50
cents for children include guided tours
with trained hostesses.
