Governor's Palace
Governor's Palace, New Bern (also known as Tryon Palace), was the official residence and administrative headquarters of the colonial governors of North Carolina from 1770 to 1775. Located in New Bern, the palace was often at the center of state occasions and royal hospitality. The residence was seized by rebel troops in 1775. Shortly after the state capital was relocated to Raleigh in 1792, the main building burned to the ground. A modern recreation faithful to the original architect's plans and some period appropriate support structures were erected on the site in the 1950s and opened to the public in 1959. -from Wikipedia
