Abstract:
Located in Wilmington, the Cornwallis House is one of the finest examples of Colonial architecture to be found anywhere. It was built by John Burgwin, secretary to the Royal Governor in 1754. During the Revolutionary War it was used by General Cornwallis. Tripp lists individuals who have owned it since then. Recently the North Carolina Society of Colonial Dames purchased the house to restore it to serve as their state headquarters.
