It has a center-hall plan, a porch with a balustrade, and a rear yard with a well shelter and barn.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is the finest of the few remaining nineteenth-century residences on Person Street, a fashionable Victorian neighborhood that has largely disappeared. It is described as a well-preserved, representative Queen Anne house with sunburst scrollwork, and its interior is said to be virtually unaltered, with heavy late Victorian woodwork and ornate mantels.","narrative":"Built between 1886 and 1891 on the south side of Person Street in Fayetteville, this Queen Anne house was constructed for Bond Sedberry, a local pharmacist who had recently opened his own drugstore. The two-story residence has a center-hall plan two rooms deep, with a stair rising in two flights, turned balusters, and mantels that include marbleized slate Eastlake examples in the front rooms. A turret space opens fully into the adjoining rooms, and sunburst scrollwork gives the exterior its distinctive character. Person Street was once a fashionable Victorian neighborhood running east from the Market House to the Cape Fear River landing, but most of its nineteenth-century houses have been lost. This house is regarded as the finest of those that remain, and its interior is described as largely unaltered. Sedberry served in the Civil War, and the house later passed to J. A. Holmes, whose family ran a stable and saddle shop beside it.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Occupied; the document states the present owner, the widow of J.
