Maybury Hill (c. 1725) was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971. Joseph Hewes, a signer of the Declaration of Independence for North Carolina, was born here. Maybury Hill was built in two stages, the first before the middle of the 18th century; the expansion, producing a five-bay facade, was probably carried out in 1768. It has had other changes through the centuries, the most recent in 1993-94 when the building was restored and a frame wing was added to the north side.
