Nancy Jones House, Historic residence in Wake County, North Carolina.
The Nancy Jones House features Federal architectural elements with wooden construction and stands as a testament to early nineteenth-century North Carolina residential design.
Built in 1803 on a 2,000-acre plantation, the house later transformed into a stagecoach stop and tavern under the management of Nancy Jones from 1813.
The establishment served as a meeting point between Raleigh and Chapel Hill, where travelers, including state governors, stopped for midday meals and refreshments.
The town of Cary purchased the property in 2019 for preservation purposes and relocated it 500 feet down Chapel Hill Road in March 2021.
During the Civil War in 1865, Major General Francis Preston Blair Jr established the Union Army headquarters within this historic structure.
