COLLECTION P1: NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY COLLECTION

Chowan County

The Chowan County courthouse in Edenton, April 2, 1890. The building was constructed in 1767 and its palatial features suggest a possible connection to John Hawks, architect of Tryon Palace in New Bern. It is the oldest courthouse in North Carolina and one of the best-preserved examples of Georgian public architecture in the nation.
