Quaker Meadows, Federal-style plantation house in Morganton, United States.
The Quaker Meadows estate features a two-story brick building with four bays and two one-story shed porches supported by square pillars with scroll brackets.
Colonel Charles McDowell resided at Quaker Meadows during the Revolutionary War period, and the current house was constructed around 1812 on the plantation grounds.
The property earned its name from Joseph McDowell Jr., who became known as Joseph 'Quaker Meadows' McDowell to distinguish him from his cousin Joseph 'Pleasant Gardens' McDowell.
The Historic Burke Foundation maintains the 9-acre property, offering guided tours and rental opportunities for visitors interested in Federal architecture.
Future Civil War governor Zebulon Baird Vance married Harriet N. Espy, Charles McDowell's niece, at this historic North Carolina plantation house.
