Bryant House

Picture
Bryant House, Built Circa 1820
3361 Mount Carmel Road, Carthage, North Carolina


James Bryant acquired the McLendon Place from his father Michael early in the 1800s with the McLendon Cabin already in place. Bryant later built the manor house there about 1820.

James Bryant's great-granddaughter, Flossie Bryant Davis and her children, gave the house with 3.4 acres to the Moore County Historical Association in 1969.

Restoration of the structure in the early 1970s included straightening of the chimneys and replacement of the shake roof.

Special features include two fine mantels, handmade doors and window sash, hand-hewn heart pine girders and sills. Neither dwelling had been altered prior to restoration and both had been continuously occupied until the 1940s.

Furnishings for the house were acquired for the Moore County Historical Association by Mrs. Ernest Ives, Mrs. John Labouisse and the Davis family.

Both the Bryant House and the McLendon Cabin were opened to the public in May 1976. Mrs. Davis, then 91 years old, attended the opening with several of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mrs. Davis was born and grew up in the house and raised her own family of six boys and seven girls there.

The Bryant House and the McLendon Cabin are located at 3361 Mount Carmel Road near the Harris Crossroads west of Carthage, North Carolina. From the traffic circle at Pinehurst, North Carolina, take US 15-­501 north toward Carthage. Drive approximately 3.4 miles and turn left, onto NC 73 West. Drive approximately 3.5 miles and turn right onto Beulah Hill Church Road. The houses are approximately 5.6 miles on the right near the bottom of the hill. Please note, Beulah Hill Church Road changes names to Mount Carmel Road after the second crossroad (Harris Crossroad). Please go to our Locations Page to access a Google driving map.
