Why it's listed

Hebron Presbyterian Church is a small, one-story, gable-front frame church on a brick pier foundation in rural Albertson Township, Duplin County, North Carolina. Organized in 1886 as Sutton's Branch Church, the congregation first met at Sutton's Branch School before the present site was deeded to it in 1889. The church was completed and dedicated in October 1890. Its interior has a simple nave with a center aisle and raised chancel, original handmade benches, and woodwork featuring battered surrounds and paneled aprons. Its towering double-leaf entrance and early Stewart Iron Works cemetery fence are notable features. The church is tied to the Home Missions movement in the Presbyterian Church's North Carolina synod and Wilmington Presbytery, and it is regarded as the most intact of the rural frame churches built in Duplin County in the late nineteenth century. Its setting along an unpaved road, surrounded by fields and woodland, remains largely unchanged.

What listing means for this property

This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
