Old Wilson Historic District
Wilson, NC

Built sometime around 1897, this turn of the century house is a one-story, double-pile house which is sheltered beneath a hip roof that is unusually tall for Wilson. This roof is pierced by stuccoed interior chimneys and has a central gable dormer that contains a pair of four-over-four sash windows. The front (northwest) porch is carried by square posts with elaborate lateral sawn scrolls above the molded capitals. In the early 1900’s the porch was enlarged created a wrapped around porch and an additional one-room wing. The central entrance has a transom and sidelights and is flanked by six-over-six sash windows.

The house is currently completely gutted offering an opportunity to begin work quickly. The house requires complete rehabilitation.
