Historic Home Details
The main house is a one room deep, two-story, asymmetrical, central hall plan. It was built at the beginning of the Greek-Revival movement so, though many of the details are Greek-Revival, the house possesses definite Federal style influences. The home is nearly one hundred percent original and with the exception of the ceilings and the parlor walls, the plaster has been painstakingly repaired. Downstairs moldings include wide baseboards, heavily molded casing with matching rosettes, flat paneled wainscot in the entry foyer, and chair rails in three of the four main rooms. Lower mantels are of the highest form and are similar to mantels done by Gamaliel Jones and Jacob Holt. They have paired, fluted, Doric columns carrying a heavy entablature with a fluted horizontal scroll and a large mantel shelf. All floors are original wide board, heart-pine, the central hall being hand-painted with a border and flower motif to replicate the original floor patterns found under three topcoats of later floor paint. A small, faintly visible section has been left untouched under the stair. A bordered floor treatment continues up the steps to the second floor.
Town of Louisburg
Not only is this wonderful home a rare find, it also offers the best of both worlds with an in-town location and the feeling of country living. The town of Louisburg was founded in 1779 and is in the county of Franklin. It is the county seat, and a tight-knit community of approximately 6,000. Situated on the picturesque Tar River, the town is located 23 miles north of the Capital City of Raleigh..
