Temple Heights

515 9th St N
Circa 1837

Built by slave labor for Richard Brownrigg as a copy of a family home in Edenton, North Carolina, imposing Temple Heights is four stories with two rooms and a stair hall on each floor. In 1845, the Federal style was amended by the addition of fourteen Doric columns on three sides to reflect the newer Greek Revival style. Later, Temple Heights was the home of Jane Fontaine, one of the founders of Decoration Day. The property contains three historical structures.

This graceful home in an Arts and Crafts Bungalow style was constructed for Charles Barnett Smith in 1910.

The Stone Hotel- Bonus
