         111 E Church Street This building was built in 1800 and was at one time the site of the Edenton Academy. After the construction of a large Victorian building in 1895, the academy was separated into two parts and moved to its current location and thoroughly remodeled. To see a rendering of the original academy, you can visit the Cupola House, where a drawing of the Edenton Academy is on display. The Edenton Academy's first charter dates back as far as 1770, but it was reorganized in 1800. Samuel Johnston served as the Academy's president, Josiah Collins, Jr. was the treasurer, and William Blair was the secretary. In 1810, girls were allowed to attend the Academy. It morphed into the Edenton High School in the early 1900s. In 1895, Baker Elliott bought the building and had it relocated. |
