John Wright Stanly and his wife died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1789, and the house was empty in 1791 when George Washington was on his southern tour. The townsfolks, recognizing what a grand house it was, cleaned it up and put their own furniture inside for Washington's stay. www.tryonpalace.org/stanly_house.php See where this picture was taken.

Founded in 1764 and built in 1809, New Bern Academy is the oldest public school building in North Carolina and one of the oldest in America. It was still used as a school recently enough to have been attended by some of New Bern's current residents. After it closed, it sat vacant for several years before being renovated in the 1980s and opened as a museum of New Bern life. It's currently closed for more renovations and will reopen with 4 galleries: architecture, education, history, and the Civil War. See where this picture was taken. [?]

The sign neglects to mention John Wright Stanly's other son: "John Wright Stanly had another son who did not share directly in the family fortune. John Carruthers Stanly was generally acknowledged to be the son of John Wright Stanly and an enslaved African woman of the Ebo tribe. He was born into slavery, but gained his freedom at age 21 through the help of his owners, the Stewart family, who also facilitated his education and his advancement in society. Because of his first occupation, John C. Stanly became known as “Barber Jack.” After making a success of his barber shop, he went on to become a large-scale property owner and local entrepreneur, and his success in business made him one of the wealthiest men in Craven County in the early 19th century. John C. Stanly is a paradox of history: he bought his own family members out of slavery, but went on to become a slaveholder himself. He was, in fact, one of the largest slave owners in Craven County. His wife, Kitty, one of those whom he bought out of slavery, was a founding member of New Bern’s First Presbyterian Church, along with craftsman Robert Hay, whose home is also part of the Palace complex." www.tryonpalace.org/stanly_house.php See where this picture was taken.
