- State:
- North Carolina
- Historical note:
- The kitchen of the Webb House was built in 1790 by James Phillips. The separate brick structure was a precautionary measure against fire.
- Architectural note:
- Originally there existed a partition separating the kitchen into two rooms. The north half was used as quarters for the cook. The partition was removed in the early part of the century. The cook's quarters were expanded into the attic, and a partition was constructed above the one below. The original cedar shake shingle roof became a problem to keep in constant repair, and was replaced with an asphalt shingle roof. The mantle over the fireplace on the north wall came from the old tavern that used to stand on the corner by the courthouse. The original mantle was of the same design but was shorter. When the Naile Farm was razed, the Webbs found an exact replica of the deteriorating handrail and post of the staircase. This replaced the original although no change in design occured. The pine flooring from the Naile Farm also replaced the deteriorated flooring.
