Abstract:

At the time of her death in 1858, Mary Lloyd Gregory was considered the richest resident of Tarboro. From modest means, she steadily managed on her own to run a boarding house. Later called the Bryan House Hotel, the structure burned in November 1897. A local photographer across the street captured the event from its beginning until its end, producing likely what were the first news photographs ever made concerning Tarboro.
