Abstract:
An exploration revealed its many purposes since 1784. Home for John Stanly Wright's family until the Civil War, it was General Burnside’s New Bern headquarters and a convent for the Sisters of Mercy through 1884. Heirs of James Bryan owned the house until 1932, when it was sold to the New Bern Library Association. The house was the town’s library for three decades before Tryon Palace Commission purchased the building, restored its Georgian style, and moved it to its current location, George Street.

Abstract:
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad’s history included its merger in 1870, joining the Eastern North Carolina Dispatch in 1877, the election of James A. Bryan as company president in 1899, its renaming to the Atlantic and North Carolina Company by Richard S. Howland; and Howland’s consolidation of the Atlantic and North Carolina Company with five other railroad companies. The author coincides the multi-railroad company merger with railroads ceding to ships as a major transporting source by the early twentieth century.
