Bellair, Georgian plantation house in Craven County, US.

Bellair is a two-story, seven-bay Georgian brick dwelling with a central hall plan, built about 1792 near New Bern in Craven County. It sits on a high basement and has a three-bay central projecting pavilion. Dendrochronology verified the construction date.

This house was built in 1792 and reflects the building style of early America in North Carolina. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, marking its importance to the region's architectural heritage.

Bellair's name follows the naming of the surrounding Bellair plantation tract in Craven County, and the house is a Georgian brick dwelling of about 1792. Its seven-bay facade and central projecting pavilion show the formal symmetry expected of a late-18th-century plantation seat near New Bern.

Bellair stands off SR 1401 west of New Bern in Craven County. The house is a private dwelling on its own grounds, so the exterior and its high basement are what a visitor can see from the road; there is no visitor entrance or interior tour. The three-bay central pavilion faces the approach.

The outside walls feature Flemish-bond brickwork, a decorative pattern that uses alternating colored bricks in a specific way. This masonry technique was both practical and a way to show the owner's wealth and taste.
