Harvey Mansion is one of the last
remaining structures from the time when

New Bern was a bustling seaport and
thriving colonial city. is a great example

of the many transitions New Bern has
endured.

John Harvey, a ship owner and
merchant originally from England,
moved to New Bern with his wife Mary
in 1797. Construction of the 9,000 square
foot home began that same year and
continued until 1804. During the Civil
War when New Bern was under Union
occupation, the house was used as a
military provost headquarters. The home
remained in the Harvey family until
after the Civil War. In the ensuing years
it has seen various uses, including a
boarding house, a dormitory for the New
Bern Military Academy, apartments
during WWII (for Cherry Point) and the
original location of Craven Technical
Institute (Craven Community College).
In 1974, the Harvey house was vacant
and in poor repair. The city attempted
to have it torn down, however the
Keeper of the National Register denied
the request and it was added to the
National Historic Registry. Quoting from
the National Register nomination form,
“The Harvey Mansion was a major New
Bern Structure, both in size and in finish,
and a tribute to Harvey’s taste and
affluence. Though the residences and
businesses of New Bern merchants were
often housed under one roof… John
Harvey seems to have built office,
storerooms, and even warehouse areas
into his residence. It was an unusually
large and elegantly furnished house…
and the ballroom, by far the grandest
early nineteenth century room in New
Bern, is an elegant embodiment of the

Adams style.”
There are rumors of ghosts that
inhabit the mansion. One is a lady who
walks though rooms and out walls, and
another is a five year old girl. While
we’ve not made their acquaintance, some
have sworn they have felt their presence.
History continues at the Harvey
Mansion, combining the best of the past
and present. Restored and reopened in
February of 2003, Owner Denise
Plourde, invites you to enjoy a bit of New
Bern’s congenial history. “The Harvey’s”
comfortable atmosphere, historic
surroundings, and luxurious rooms are
guaranteed to make this a highlight of
your New Bern experience.
