Abstract:
Pitt County's first courthouse was located on what is now Highway 33 East, across from the entrance to the Brook Valley subdivision. Starting in 1924, a campaign was begun to preserve the old house, which had served as the courthouse from 1760 until 1774. These efforts failed, and the house was torn down in 1926. In October 1930, the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a marker at the site to commemorate the historic structure.
