Abstract:
Federal, or Adamesque, architecture from the late 18th to the early 19th centuries, ushered in a new period of refinement and attention to detail lacking in the Georgian style. In North Carolina, artisans recreated some elements of the Federal style with the addition of their own interpretations.

Abstract:
In the area of Washington formerly known as “Pungo Town,” the Federal Style residence built by two brothers has changed little since its construction in 1795. Passed down to members of the Marsh family until 1942, a relative of former owners restored the house to National Trust preservation guidelines as part of her master’s thesis. The Congletons continue the architectural integrity tradition for the residence whose housing history includes Union officers during the Civil War.

Abstract:
Historic Hope Foundation’s open house opens a door into the past of this house in Windsor. Also opening the door to Bertie’s County Colonial past is King-Bazemore House, moved on site from a few miles away. Described by the author as self-contained, Hope Plantation functioned through its own water powered grist mill, saw mill, blacksmith shop, blacksmith’s and cooper’s shops, and buildings for weaving and spinning. King-Bazemore’s “hall and parlor” design was common in dwellings from this era and its furnishings design is based on William King’s 1778 inventory.

Described nearly as well are the owners, occupiers, and renters who resided in the Federal style dwelling before it became part of Tryon Palace’s architectural showpieces in 1957.

Abstract:
What made the daunting task of restoring this former plantation house worthwhile: restoring also the only example in the county of transitional architecture between the Georgian and Federalist styles. What also made the task worthwhile was unexpected fruit of their labor: helping a local add a branch to her family tree, by the discovery of an ancestor born there.
