History

[edit]

The Zevely House was built about 1815 by Vannimmen Zively, who married Johanna Sophia Shober in 1809 and bought from his step-father the same year the 160-acre land where he erected the house 6 years later, on Old Town Road. The house was moved in 1974 from its original site at 734 Oak Street to a new site at 901 West Fourth Street. It was subsequently restored (1974-1975) and houses a restaurant.[2][3][4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1] It is in the West End Historic District.

Description

[edit]

The Zevely House is a two-story, three bay by two bay, brick dwelling in the German-influenced North Carolina Moravian style. It has a one-story rear shed addition and full-width front entrance porch.
