James Wilkens Iredell House
Remodel of an historic 1851 farmhouse
James Wilkens Iredell was architect and master builder of Iredell House, the home here at 470 Dresher Road. The home was a wedding gift to his bride Phebe. The house, completed in 1851, took three years to build and used oak and white pine boards, all produced from the Iredell saw-mill. The stucco covered stone house is an excellent example of a five-bay Federal dwelling and retains much of its original character and materials. The front porch is a unique aspect of the house, its design inspired from southern prototype that James Iredell saw on a visit to the southern states. The house includes many features typical to Federal style architecture such as; symmetrical floor plan with grand proportions, central staircase and hall, small servant stairwell for kitchen and root-cellar access, raised panel first-story shutters and louvered second-story shutters, interior end chimneys, a walk-in kitchen fireplace, transom windows over exterior doors, cornice and dentil mouldings, large hand-hewn beams and a deep root-cellar in the basement.
