The oldest surviving home in Washington NC!

Here is an opportunity to own the Brickle-Myers House (c.1780), which is on the National Register of Historic Places.  This three story home – with five rooms that can easily serve as bedchambers, three bathrooms, cellar, 2600 sq ft – is on an oversized waterview lot that is NOT in a FEMA floodzone, has a shared bricked driveway with off-street parking, and a backyard with one of very few surviving period Flemish-bond dependencies in Beaufort county – and arguably the one in best condition.

With a transferable termite warranty and new cedar shake roofs on both the main house and two-story dependency, the manse will require some updates of modern amenities (e.g., HVAC, kitchen, windows painted shut) by a person sensitive to its marvelous original state of preservation.

In the autumn of 1775, Col. James Bonner commenced a sale of properties that would become the town of Washington. Each prospective paid £5 and then drew a number which indicated the undeveloped lot that Bonner would deed to them. According to Crow’s seminal work on the historic houses of Beaufort Co (1982) evidence points to one John Brickle as the original purchaser of (this) Plat #55.

By September 1795, John Gray Blount owned the property and subdivided it in thirds, each a separate homestead. The three houses on those lots – known as Marsh, Myers, and Hyatt – remain standing to this day, directly fronting the greenspace of Festival Park and overlooking boats sailing the Pamlico River.

The Civil War resulted in the loss of many records, and the earliest extant deed that references the Myers’ property’s house dates from 1826, many years after the building’s construction. This was when the house was enlarged from its original ‘side hall’ floorplan to its current footprint, with the eastern half having Federal elements, and the ‘new’ western half favoring Greek Revival.

The Myers family founded John Myers & Co, a general mercantile store and later shipyard directly across the street. It was at the Myers warehouse that the Fresnel lens from the Cape Hatteras lighthouse was hidden in 1861 en route to a more secure location inland in the opening months of federal occupation – go ahead and Google.

Washington NC, the first town in the fledgling republic named after George, is the county seat, and now a vibrant riverfront town of just under 10,000 in eastern North Carolina, within easy commute of East Carolina University and Greenville. The historic waterfront downtown – including harbor and lighthouse – has become a lively performing arts, dining, and music scene, which contains a distillery and several craft breweries along Main Street.

Washington is centrally located – it is an easy drive of just over 2 hours each to Raleigh’s international airport (west), Wilmington (south), Norfolk (north) and the Outer Banks (east). By driving 50 uncongested miles southeast, one can also hop the car-ferry to Ocracoke.

As a contributing structure of the historic district, the Brickle-Myers House is eligible for state restoration tax credits. The possibilities are truly endless.

It is challenging to comp this property, because there is nothing like it. 

[note: while there is one lighting fixture that does not convey, there is the possibility of separate antique furniture sales if interested]

There is so much more to tell about the Brickle-Myers House, including the witch bottles in the cellar, the previously hidden Episcopal church chandelier, and the cannon ball in the wall. But more of that when you come to visit.

Below the main floor, the basement—often referred to as the ”dungeon”—adds additional space & unique character for storage or creative use. The expansive open 2nd story is especially unique, with original hardwood floors & 360° views stretching all the way down Main St. Its size & atmosphere create a striking backdrop for weddings, dances, banquets, or multi-use event space.

Bladenboro is well known across NC for its annual BeastFest, which draws thousands each fall to celebrate the community & the legend of the Beast of Bladenboro. At the center of it all, the Bridger Building offers both history & presence in the heart of downtown.

The Bridger Building is under protective covenants held by Preservation North Carolina. Please contact Dawn Williams at dwilliams@presnc.org or 919-832-3652 x221 to request a copy of these covenants.

Rustic and cozy historic log cabin a mere 20 minutes to Winston-Salem, with outdoor enthusiast activities at nearby iconic Pilot Mountain State Park!

This charming mid-19th century log cabin was built by Isaac and Louisa Krieger on land purchased by his parents in 1814 and has remained in the family since then. The Kriegers were among German immigrants who traveled down the Great Wagon Road in the 18th century from Pennsylvania and settled in nearby Bethania. The Kriegers eventually established themselves in the Rural Hall area near present-day King.

The cabin is built of hand-hewn logs with half-dovetailed notching set on a stone foundation. The first and second floor is arranged in a hall-and-parlor plan. Entering the cabin through split-leaf paneled doors, a small entry features the paneled staircase with turned balustrade and newel post. The living room or “hall” features wood beamed ceiling and large Federal/Greek Revival-style mantel. Throughout the cabin are hand-planed wood walls and ceilings, pine floors, simple door and window surrounds, and stylish Greek Revival two-panel doors. The roof is covered by a standing seam metal roof and the roof eaves display delightful decorative brackets. All of these elements are reflective of the previously rural setting of the homeplace, and Isaac and Louisa’s successful enterprise. 

The original log house was eventually expanded by Isaac and Louisa’s son James (by this time spelled “Kreeger”) and his wife Charlotte around 1900. Sometime in the 20th century, the house was rented to people farming the surrounding land. In the late 1990s, the Gentry family, descendants of the Kreegers, planned to develop the land into a new neighborhood. Their plan was to donate the old farmhouse to the fire department as a practice burn until they discovered through their tenant the original log structure within the larger house. They decided to undertake the restoration of the log portion in 1999-2000 that included repairing all but two original logs, replacing the chinking, rebuilding the fireplace, refinishing the original floors, and constructing the rear kitchen and bathroom addition. Original ax and pencil marks were carefully preserved and two mantels from the demolished sections were re-used as a display shelf in the living room and in a second-floor bedroom. 

The five-room Kreeger Cabin has a living room, kitchen, dining area/entrance room, and a full bathroom on the first floor, and one full bedroom and a loft on the second floor. The property is connected to town water and sewer. The first floor has an electric mini-split for heating and cooling, and a window air conditioning unit for the second floor. Since its restoration in 2000, the cabin has been used as a guesthouse and family getaway. In livable condition, the cabin would benefit from updates and repair to some lower logs, as well as landscaping efforts to soften the impact from the nearby neighborhood.

Historical Information:

The Barlett Yancey House is the result of three distinct stages of construction.

The earliest phase is composed of a one-story frame Federal style cottage built by state legislator and political leader Bartlett Yancey Jr, and his wife Nancy (Ann) Graves between 1808 and 1814.  The second phase a two-story L-shaped Greek Revival-style addition to the front of the original house that was built by their daughter Ann and her husband Thomas Womack in 1856.  The third phase of construction was the addition of a Queen Anne-style wrap-around porch to the front and side, built around 1890.  The house stands within landscaped grounds of mature trees and boxwoods.  Nearby is an original smokehouse, log tobacco barns, and other outbuildings.  East of the house is the Yancey Family graveyard, surrounded by an ornate cast-iron fence and cedar trees.

The earliest portion of the house retains important period details such as an enclosed stair, flat-panel doors with HL hinges, and nine over nine window sashes.  The westernmost room is the most elaborate, featuring wainscot of raised vertical panels beneath molded chair rail, and a Federal period mantel featuring fluted Doric pilasters.

The stylish features of the earliest phase hold importance, but it is the decorative features of the 1856 portion of the house that have statewide, if not national, significance as having been created by the workshop of Milton-based cabinetmaker Thomas Day.  Day’s biographers, Patricia Phillips Marshall and Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll, in their 2010 publication Thomas Day: Master Craftsman and Free Man of Color, cite the Yancey House for its architectural representation of his lifelong body of work.  Distinctive details that are illustrative of Day’s work include casing and corner blocks, several mantels, the newel post, parlor trim, and the 1856 front porch.

Of particular note, Marshall’s and Leimenstoll’s research identified the Bartlett Yancey House as one of only “six intact North Carolina houses [that] illustrate the fully articulated Thomas Day architectural woodwork ensemble of the mid-1800s” that the pair used as touchstones for numerous other attributions to Day.  The pair match the S-shaped newel post with the Bass and Holderness houses; the “simple wave motif” of the stair-stringer bracket to those of the Holderness and Friou-Hurdle houses, and the pilastered mantels with those of the Bass and Friou-Hurdle houses.  The “beveled square-within-a-square motif” corner blocks of the Yancey House are unique among the body of work. In this capacity, the Yancey House serves as a “Rosetta Stone” to identify other Day designed houses in the region.

Bartlett Yancey married Nancy (Ann) Graves in 1808, and their first child was born in 1809.  Nancy (Ann)’s father, John Graves, deeded to Bartlett “315 acres of land on the ridge road just west of Yanceyville in consideration of the filial regards and affections which he has for said Bartlett Yancey.”  This is likely the land on which the earliest portion of the house was constructed.  Some of their children are interred in the nearby cemetery as were Bartlett in 1828 and Nancy (Ann) in 1855.

Bartlett was just 42 years old when he died in 1828.  His wife, Ann, died in 1855.  It was likely upon her death the house was bequeathed to her daughter, Anne Womack, who commissioned the addition to the house by Thomas Day in the following year.  Anne lived in the house with her husband their entire lives.  She died in 1900 and is interred with her husband in the nearby cemetery.

Later owners, including Judge Allen H. Gwyn Sr (1893-1969), his wife Janie Johnston Gwyn (1892-1982), and their children including Allen H. Gwyn Jr (1922-1999), and Julius J. Gwyn, held fond recollections of growing up knowing the house.  It was after Judge Gwyn’s death that the family contacted Preservation North Carolina to consider selling the initial land area included 212 acres and protecting the property through a preservation agreement.  In 1978, 196 acres were sold to the Aldridges of Yanceyville, and the 16 acres containing the house were sold to Mr. and Mrs. Warren D. Ayres of New York City.

Bridgers Building/Church Street Apartments is a mixed use development located in Historic Downtown Tarboro, NC. It features a prominent corner location with commercial/retail spaces on the first floor and basement level and 11 residential units on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Completed in 2001, the Bridgers Building/Church Street Apartments redevelopment project combined both historic buildings at the central corner of Main & Church Streets. The Henry Clark Bridgers Building, dedicated in 1907, housed the town’s Post Office and Pharmacy on the first floor and the headquarters of Carolina Railroad on the upper floors. The Church Street Apartments was originally started as a hotel in the 1920’s when the depression halted construction. The building’s development was completed in 1933 in its re-imagined use as an apartment house.  

From the National Register of Historic Places Inventory for Tarboro, NC:

Henry Clark Bridgers Building – Strikingly handsome early 20th century classical building, well-preserved, with rich detail including pilasters, grilles, cornices, frieze above first floor inscribed with “Post Office” & “Drugstore”. .. This building was, it is said, designed and built by H.C. Bridgers (1876-1951).

Church Street Apartments – 101-105 E Church Street ca 1931 – Imposing four-story office building was marked on the 1931 Sanborn Map as “vacant, unfinished,” nicely dating its construction and possibly suggesting the impact of the Depression on its completion. Brick and stone accents in eclectic classical fashion, with two-story ground level treatment with arches and stylized pilasters. With neighboring Bridgers Building, creates concentration of early 20th century ambitious commercial structures expressive of the prosperity of the period.

These two buildings, now combined into the Bridgers Building/Church Street Apartments, are the commercial anchor in downtown Tarboro. They have strong rental history with long-term tenants in the 11 residential apartments and a waiting list. The commercial tenants include the Tarboro Coffee House, Church Street Tap & Deli, and 2 photography studios.

This charming and well-maintained 1884 Queen Anne Victorian home is a rare treasure, lovingly restored, updated, and occupied by the current owner for over 52 years. The original structure has been preserved with care, while thoughtful additions and restorations over the decades have enhanced its livability without compromising its historic character. 

In 1984, a custom-designed addition with a spacious, vaulted-ceiling kitchen, two additional bathrooms, a laundry area, and a new rear porch was seamlessly integrated into the existing home. In 1996, the owners purchased an adjoining parcel with an older home, which they retrofitted into a secure, three-bay garage with concrete floor, storage, and overhead doors. The home has private driveway access via the garage parcel off William Street, allowing for rear-yard parking in addition to Chavasse on-street. 

Every element of the home’s restoration has been executed with incredible attention to detail, using original materials whenever possible. All 1884 windows were carefully re-strung, layers of old wallpaper removed, and the new addition was constructed with hand-plastered walls and ceilings to match the original construction. Doors in the new wing were handcrafted to reflect the style of the original 19th-century woodwork, and six fireplaces were restored to their original designs, with historically accurate mantels—each one researched and custom-made. 

The grounds are equally remarkable and home to three rescued historic structures from the Henderson area, each carefully relocated to the property in the late 20th century. If you appreciate the elegance of the past and the craftsmanship of historic preservation, don’t miss this opportunity to own a historic treasure.

Unique historic site offering a prime incoming-producing residential opportunity!  Originally constructed to house church activities and the community school, the site is currently apartments.

Historical Information

Built in 1908 to meet the growing needs of the mission school operated by the neighboring Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration — and named after Julia F. Goelet, the school’s founder whose bible rests in the structure’s cornerstone — the Goelet Memorial library operated as a school (until 1922), parish house and office for the church, library and community center until the 1950s.

The structure has since been remodeled into apartments, and is now seeking a new owner ready to save and further rehabilitate this amazing property.  Prospective buyers would benefit from updating each of the apartment or transforming them into tourist apartments. They are currently occupied.  Systems have been updated but deferred maintenance items like exterior painting are needed with the buyer to inspect for any further work that may be necessary.

Architectural and Historical Information

Situated on a hilltop, Beaumont began in 1839 as a two-story Gothic Revival-style house constructed of mica-flecked cut granite that was quarried on nearby Glassy Mountain. Its present appearance is the result of a substantial remodeling and enlargement of the house executed in 1910 during the ownership of Frank B. Hayne. Asheville architect Richard Sharp Smith prepared designs for the current two-and-a-half-story, L-plan house with a cross-gable roof, multiple hip-roof dormers, and wraparound porch. The first floor of the 1839 house remained intact, but the second floor was modified, and the third floor was added.

The house incorporates elements of the Tudor Revival and Neoclassical Revival styles, and features front and rear decorative half-timbered gables, decorative purlin brackets, exposed rafter tails, granite window and door lintels, and a two-story hip-roof rear wing. It has four interior stone chimneys with corbelling and arched metal caps. Original first-story windows are nine-over-nine double-hung sash, while the 1910 sections contain four-over-four, six-over-six, eight-over-eight, and diamond-pane sash windows. 

The flat roof Neoclassical Revival-style porch extends across the full width of the four-bay façade, projecting one bay beyond the northeast end, and wraps around the southwest end of the house where it projects to form a porte-cochère. The porch is carried on wooden Tuscan columns with a turned baluster railing. A replacement balustrade is located above the porch. Three entrance bays on the façade are composed of French doors surrounded by multi-light sidelights and tall transoms. A one-story semi-circular bay projects from the northeast side elevation. A one-story, two-bay garage addition was built at the rear of the house in 1987, which has a deck on its flat roof.

Beaumont includes the last surviving ice and dairy house of the historic Flat Rock houses, as well as a swimming pool and formal landscape of cultural significance. A broad and expansive porch overlooks the Blue Ridge while high-style stone mantels, plaster molded ceilings and both formal and service stairways adorn the interior.

The property will require a significant rehabilitation.  Core portions of the interior have suffered severe fire damage while much of the remaining house is intact with need of repaired finishes. Updates may be needed to the kitchen and baths, and all new systems are needed — HVAC, plumbing and electrical.

Beaumont is a local landmark and eligible for a 50% property tax deferral. As a contributing structure to the Flat Rock National Register Historic District, Beaumont qualifies for historic preservation tax credits.

Prospective buyers must have substantial financial resources for a successful rehabilitation of Beaumont.  Submittal of a financial statement will be required prior to scheduling of showings.
