We watched the in house video followed by the guided tour which was really informative without being too detailed. This house is beautiful with fascinating slave quarters and stunning gardens.The next evening we went to the Jazz Festival in the garden here- a superb night.

North Carolina State Capitol

The State Capitol building, built in 1840, is an excellent example of a civic structure in Greek Revival-style architecture. Though recently renovated, the building does contain some original furniture.

Reviewed By mlorahga - Augusta, United States

I took my lunch break from a Convention and walked up to the North Carolina State Capital Building. It is a great Greek Revival structure, although only used now for the Governor's offices and official functions. It has been beautifully restored to its 1840's appearance.
