Nash-Hooper House

The Nash-Hooper House stands on West Tryon Street, featuring a two-and-a-half-story wooden structure with clapboard siding and a high stone foundation.

Francis Nash constructed this residence in 1772, and William Hooper, who signed the Declaration of Independence, lived there from 1782 until 1790.

The interior spaces maintain original elements from the 18th century, including wide pine floors and traditional fireplace mantels in several rooms.

The property functions as a private residence at 118 West Tryon Street, limiting public access to exterior views from the adjacent sidewalk.

The burial ground next to the house contained William Hooper's remains until 1894, when they were transferred to Guilford Courthouse.
