Tyson-Whitehurst House, Falkland Hwy., Pitt County, NC
This farmhouse was built by the Tyson family in the early 1800's. Gilmer's c.1862 Civil War map of the area shows the house as belonging to a "Mrs. Tyson" at the time. After the war, a Whitehurst married one of the Tyson daughters and the Whitehurst family controlled the house and surrounding farm for most the next century. The house and yard are good examples of eastern N. Carolina antebellum architecture-- more functional, modest and austere than the palatial plantation homes of the Deep South.
