Hope Plantation, an early federal house in the Palladian mode, is located on the Carolina Coastal Plain, near Windsor, North Carolina, in the United States.〔 The manor house was built by David Stone, a member of the coastal Carolina planter class, later Governor of North Carolina and a United States Senator.〔Alan D. Watson, ''Bertie County, A Brief History'', Raleigh, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, 1982, pp. 67-73, William S. Powell, ''Encyclopedia of North Carolina'', Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina Press, 2006, p. 787.〕 One of the finest examples of Palladian design built in timber, the manor house is slightly modified by neo-classical elements. The facade has five bays and a pedimented double portico with the original Chinese Chippendale balustrade. Crowning the house is a widow’s walk with matching railing. The interior of the house displays a height and grandeur rare in the region, and is furnished with a unique collection of period furniture, art and artifacts.〔Bivins, John Jr. 'Furniture of the North Carolina Roanoke River Basin in the Collection of Historic Hope Foundation': ''Journal of Early Southern Decorative Arts''. Summer 1996.〕 By the 1960s, the building had survived almost a century of neglect, and the citizens of Bertie County aided by other North Carolinians and a far-flung net of support, formed the Historic Hope Foundation, Inc. (a registered non-profit organization) to purchase and rescue the house.〔''The Miracle of Hope'' by Wayland Jenkins, Jr. and Eric Hause, Windsor, NC: Historic Hope Foundation, 2002〕 ==Also on the site== The 1763 King-Bazemore House represents a fine example of vernacular architecture. It is one of the few remaining examples in North Carolina of mid-eighteenth century "hall and parlor" design. The home has been restored and furnished based on the 1778 inventory of owner, William King.〔National Register #71000570〕 Outbuildings include a restored kitchen and the manor house’s original dairy, a smoke house and store buildings, an herb garden and a kitchen garden. There are also extensive grounds (45 acres). The original grounds extended well beyond these and amounted to nearly of privately owned land, worked by over 200 slaves. The circa 1800 barn and the archeological sites make the basis for a walk which is often used as a fitness trail. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hope Plantation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
