Mowfield, Historic Federal plantation house near Jackson, North Carolina
The two-story frame house spans five bays in width and features a two-tier porch extending across the entire front under a high hip roof.
Built in 1802, Mowfield received recognition from the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 for its architectural and historical importance in Northampton County.
The property exemplifies the Federal and Georgian architectural traditions that emerged in North Carolina during the early nineteenth century residential construction period.
Located 2 miles west of Jackson on US 158, the plantation encompasses 20 acres of land with the main house and a preserved outbuilding.
From 1816 to 1833, Mowfield served as the residence of Sir Archy, a thoroughbred horse that became an influential sire in American racing history.
