Come find out why the Kirkpatricks chose
New Bern as a wonderful place they call home.
The Harmony House Inn was purchased by
Benjamin Ellis in 1850 from Francis Lamotte who had owned the
house since 1809.
It began as a four-room Greek Revival
home. As the Ellis family prospered, the house was expanded
and porches were built and enclosed to accommodate their six
children.
Around the turn of the century, the house
was sawed in half, the west side was moved over nine feet, a
new hallway and stairs (with Victorian influence) were built,
and a wall was built dividing the house into two sections.
