Lane House

Built in 1718-19, the Lane House is the oldest house in North Carolina identified by dendrochronolgy. It was during the renovations of the house that the contractor discovered old hand-hewn beams that belonged to the 17th century. Owners Steve and Linda Lane then contacted researches from Williamsburg to conduct dendrochronological investigation only to confirm the fact. The cozy one-and-a half storey home is still home to the Lanes and is located in Edenton.
