Belvidere Plantation House

Belvidere Plantation House was a residence built in Federal and Greek Revival styles with a gambrel roof and wooden weatherboard siding. The three-bay structure included end chimneys and exemplified residential architecture from the early 1800s in North Carolina.

This house was built around 1810 for George Merrick and represented important antebellum architecture in the county. The structure was demolished in 2007 to make way for a waterfront development project.

The property earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, marking its architectural and historical value to North Carolina.

The property sat near State Route 1565 and was surrounded by acres of land in a rural setting. Today the location is not open to the public as development has taken over the former grounds.

The building earned placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, recognizing its architectural significance. Later, city officials authorized the local volunteer fire department to deliberately burn the structure to clear land for new construction.
