Located near the fork of N.C. Highway 34 and Tulls Creek Road, near Currituck.  Also known as the Ben Sivills place and later the Will Edwards place.  Although some of the windows with the nine panes in the upper sashes are still intact, the house is in a bad state of repair.  The hall is at the left end of the house and the living room at the right.  The original paneling is there, as is the old mantel.  One unusual aspect of the interior of the house was the huge plaster of Paris medallions in the centers of the rooms from which originally hung the candelabra or lamps.  It is constructed with wooden pegs.  The kitchen stands at the back and right of the main body of the house.
