House History
highlighted by Federal
mantels and trim, while an
early remodeling
contributed several Greek
Revival doors. It is of hall
and parlor plan with stairs
ascending from the rear to
an attic lighted by narrow
' dormer windows, With the
) house came its detached
kitchen and an early
outbuilding also to be
restored for modern use.

msiory 01 uie structure Has
Augustus L. Mullen about
1844. It bears the name of
David G. Newby, who owned
it at the turn of the century.
Newby was a Perquimans
County Commissioner (1900
1902) and Postmaster of
Durants Neck (1902-1911).
Through most of its history
it . has been a tenant
dwelling,, although local
tradition suggests it served
as a doctor's office for a
time.
One ; of the adjunct
buildings needed for the full
.development of . the
Newbold-White house
complex is thus obtained not
by the construction of a
possibly intrusive modern
building but by , the
restoration of a charming
Federal farmhouse.
