Everitt P. Stevens House, Greek Revival plantation house in Selma, United States.
The Everitt P. Stevens House is a two-story wooden structure built in Greek Revival style with three window bays and a brick chimney on the side. The property includes several outbuildings, including a large barn and a tobacco barn that remain on the grounds.
The house was built in 1850 and became a significant gathering point for Confederate forces during the Civil War. In April 1865, after the Battle of Bentonville, it hosted one of the final major assemblies of the Confederate Army.
The house reflects how plantation families lived and managed their estates during the 19th century. The remaining outbuildings give a sense of the daily farm work and routines that sustained these properties.
The property is located near Selma along SR 1003 and is easy to reach for visitors exploring the area. It is recommended to check in advance whether it is possible to tour the house, as private properties may have special access rules.
High-ranking Confederate officials, including generals and the governor of North Carolina, gathered here in the final days of the Civil War. This makes the property an important yet often overlooked location in the war's history.
