Coolmore Plantation, National Historic Landmark plantation near Tarboro, North Carolina.
The Coolmore estate features a two-story wood-frame structure with single-story wings and a central hipped roof with gabled projections.
Baltimore architect E. G. Lind designed this Italianate plantation house between 1858 and 1861 for Dr. Joseph J.W. Powell and Martha Powell.
The interior chambers display superior craftsmanship, including a freestanding elliptical staircase and a detailed trompe-l'œil mural on a parlor ceiling.
The property requires advance appointments through resident curators due to the delicate nature of its architectural elements and historical features.
The supplementary buildings, including servants quarters, smokehouse, and carriage house, mirror the main structure's design and incorporate matching cupolas.
