Abstract:
In March 1918, citizens in Edenton, North Carolina formed the Cupola House Association, which was probably the earliest landmark preservation project in the state. The Cupola House was built in 1758 by Francis Corbin to serve as a residence for John Carteret, son of the last of the land-holding Lords Proprietors of the Carolinas. Reflecting a style of wealth in the American colonies, it is considered a fine example of Jacobean architecture in the South.
