General note:: The stately Tudor mansion was built from 1908 to 1920 for Philip S. Henry, an internationally prominent diplomat, scholar and businessman. The present house was Henry's addition to an earlier structure on the site built for John Evans Brown in 1889. The original Brown portion of the house was razed in the 1950s and the mansion was reduced to the present twenty-eight rooms. http://go.ncsu.edu/zealandia
