Burnside Plantation House
Burnside Plantation House, Federal style plantation house in Williamsboro, North Carolina.
The Burnside Plantation House features two stories, five bays, and weatherboard exterior with paired brick chimneys at each gable end.
Built around 1800 and remodeled before 1824, the house belonged to Memucan Hunt, the first Treasurer of North Carolina.
The interior displays carved woodwork characteristic of classic revival style, preserving craftsmanship methods from the Federal period.
The property encompasses 8 acres of land and includes a colonial-era smokehouse from 1760, offering insights into early American agricultural practices.
