History

[edit]

The Hawkins-Hartness House was built around 1880 for Dr. and Mrs. Alexander B. Hawkins.[2] It is a 212-story, Eastlake-style brick dwelling with a four-story tower and numerous two-story projections. It features a one-story hip-roof Eastlake movement style front porch.

In 1928, the house was purchased by Annie Sloan Hartness, the wife of North Carolina Secretary of State James A. Hartness.[2]

The house has been converted from a residence to a state office building, housing the office of the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.[3][4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
