It is also tied to John Haywood, who served as state treasurer for forty years and helped found the University of North Carolina and other institutions. The form says it is essential to the study of the state's early architecture.","narrative":"Haywood Hall is a two-story Federal-style house on New Bern Avenue in Raleigh, begun in 1792 by John Haywood. Haywood served as North Carolina's state treasurer for forty years and moved to Raleigh when a law required state officers to live in the new capital. The five-bay south front has a two-story portico with slender fluted Doric columns, and the walls are beaded weatherboard under a modillion cornice. Inside, the parlor has a paneled dado, a chair rail with incised Wall of Troy decoration, and an elaborate mantel and overmantel. The stair hall is unusual, partly enclosed with sheathed walls and a pointed-arch ceiling. A former kitchen and two stables survive in the garden. Haywood also helped found the University of North Carolina, the Raleigh Academy and Christ Church. The house is ranked among Raleigh's best Federal houses and belongs to a group with similar woodwork, apparently by one unidentified builder, which makes it important for studying the state's early architecture.","period_of_significance":"1790's","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition, altered, on its original site; preservation work in progress.
