Abstract:

PNC has acquired four of North Carolina’s most important historic homes with the intent to restore them to their former state. Restoration projects are being undertaken at the Bellamy Mansion, Coolmore Plantation, Banker’s House, and El Nido; Bellamy Mansion is a museum open to the public, but under PNC’s care, the other three will likely not be open to the public.

Abstract:

With the decline of the house museums that were once popular around the country, PNC must decide the fates of two bequeathed houses, El Nido and the Banker’s House. Unable to sell the properties due to the wishes of the deceased, PNC has decided to make the Banker’s House their southwest regional office, and to develop a resident curatorship for El Nido. These examples have led to PNC creating conditions of acceptance for large gifts.
