Abstract:

The State Historic Preservation Office preemptively informed local historic districts and owners of historic property about ensuing Hurricane Irene which touched down on August 27, 2011. Damage was not as severe as past hurricanes, however one historic property, the Markham-Albertson-Stinson Cottage, was totaled. Other historic features impacted by the hurricane were cemeteries in Edenton, Whitakers, Tarboro, New Bern, and Beaufort where uprooted trees toppled markers and disturbed graves.
