China Grove, Federal style plantation house in Oriental, North Carolina.
The two-story plantation house stands with a front porch under a gable roof, offering direct views towards the Neuse River near Dawson's Creek.
Built between 1790 and 1813, the property changed ownership from Edward Carraway to Williams S. Sparrow in 1804 for the sum of 1,300 dollars.
The plantation reflects the agricultural and economic development of North Carolina, with previous owner Sparrow managing turpentine production and operating lumber mills.
Located at the coordinates 35.0803, -76.74, the house received extensive renovations that preserved its main architectural elements while ensuring modern stability.
The name originates from a row of chinaberry trees that formed the entrance path to the property during its early years.
