Abstract:

Dating to 1758, the Cupola house was built by Francis Corbin, the king's business representative in North Carolina. In the early 20th century, the last resident sold the home's magnificent woodwork to the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. A foundation was created soon thereafter to protect and restore the home. Recently, the Brooklyn Museum has made the decision to return Cupola's original woodwork.
