Abstract:

The Chowan County Courthouse is the oldest public building in North Carolina. Built in 1767, it is also one of the country's best-preserved colonial courthouses. Recently the National Park Service awarded a grant of $208,000 to the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to assist in restoration.
