Palmer-Marsh House, Colonial house in Bath, United States.
The Palmer-Marsh House features seven bays across its facade, wide pine floors, exposed timber framing, and multiple entrances on different sides of the structure.
Colonel Robert Palmer, who served as Surveyor-General of North Carolina from 1753 to 1771, lived in this residence while collecting customs for the Port of Bath.
The western room of the house served as a meeting place for the colonial legislature, demonstrating the building's dual function as both residence and government space.
Visitors can explore the restored interior of the Palmer-Marsh House, which reopened to the public in 1993 following extensive preservation work and paint analysis.
A fire in December 1989 revealed fifteen layers of paint on the house walls, enabling preservationists to determine and restore the original colonial color scheme.
