An intimate and gracious
home, the Daniels-Stenhouse is located two
blocks from downtown Goldsboro with brick sidewalks, historic lighting,
benches and extensive landscaping.
Neighboring homes circa 1870 - 1920 in the nationally certified historic
district are
single family residences that have been restored and are well
maintained.
The last owner, Dr. Stenhouse ran for Congress when he was over one-hundred
years old and appeared on the Johnny Carson show.
The original exterior of the
1888 Victorian gem with wrap-around porch displays
a copper metal roof, wood siding painted gray with violet, copper and ivory
trim.
Over sixty antique glass windows, hand-stripped entry doors and natural fish
scale trim showcase the restoration.
The home was completed
in 2001 by Grandpa's Children, Inc., under the
direction of American Indian restoration specialist Dreamweaver. It
was his first
project training "at-risk" youth in museum quality restoration which
strictly
adheres to protecting the original structure and materials.
