Duke House

Duke House stands as a one-and-a-half-story residence with high-quality interior woodwork, including a paneled chimneypiece and built-in corner cupboards.

The residence, constructed around 1792, belonged to Cleavers Duke Sr. and transformed from a general farm into a tobacco plantation by the mid-19th century.

The property contains a small cemetery with a historic grave marker and potentially additional unmarked graves, reflecting burial practices of early American settlers.

The National Register of Historic Places designation enables the property owners to access federal tax benefits and preservation funding for maintenance.

A workshop building remains on the property, along with an early 20th-century kitchen wing addition that expanded the original structure.
