Cupola House, Colonial house in Edenton, United States
The Cupola House exhibits a two-story gable roof structure with external brick chimneys and an octagonal cupola made of wood cut to resemble stonework.
Francis Corbin, Lord Granville's land agent, constructed this residence in 1758, making it the second oldest building in the town of Edenton, North Carolina.
The interior features North Carolina's finest early stairway, with elaborate floral carvings and pediments that represent the social status of colonial merchants.
Visitors can explore both floors of the house through guided tours that present original furnishings and period-appropriate gardens depicting 18th-century landscaping.
The structure contains the American South's only surviving example of a 'jutt,' an architectural feature where the second floor extends beyond the first floor walls.
