Cupola House History Built in 1758 by Francis Corbin, the Cupola House was commissioned by Robert Carteret, Earl of Granville, who was the only one of the original eight Lords' Proprietors who did not return his land to the King. It is renowned as a premier example of Jacobean architecture in the southern United States and is considered one of North Carolina’s most important early structures. #dvfpreservationnation #edentonnc | Preservation Nation - Dustin Van Fleet
