#DidYouKnow The William Hollister House on the corner of Broad and George Streets is a quintessentially "New Bern" building in many ways?
The architectural style—Federal-Adamesque—may have been out of style in other cities in 1840, but in New Bern, some of the stylistic features likely seemed in keeping with local architectural preferences. Additionally, the side-passage floorplan was particularly common in New Bern.
Beyond the architectural style, the builders of this house were also New Bernian. Catherine Bishir writes in Crafting Lives that this house—one of the town's first large constructions since the 1820s—was built by local craftsmen. Unlike nearby towns and cities, which were bringing in outside architects and builders to assist with their projects, all the craftspeople who worked on the William Hollister house were from New Bern. Built by a mix of Black and White, free and enslaved artisans, the Hollister House is truly a display of local craft.
You can read the book that inspired the Tryon Palace Inclusive Public Art Project! Catherine Bishir’s book “Crafting Lives: African American Artisans in New Bern, North Carolina, 1770-1900” is available from @uncpress, the Tryon Palace Museum Store, and other retailers.

#DidYouKnow? New Bern was North Carolina’s largest city during the early years of the United States, growing from about 2,500 people in 1800 to a population of over 3,700 in 1830?

Over these decades New Bern saw a large increase in its free Black population. This made the city, according to author and historian Catherine Bishir, "one of North Carolina's chief centers of free black life."

The first US Census was taken in 1790 and determined that Craven County and New Bern together had "337 free people of color, 3,440 whites, and 3,858 slaves," and those numbers rose steadily throughout the following decades. This was at a time when about 25% North Carolina's overall population was Black, which made New Bern somewhat of an anomaly within the South.

In the 1840s, the free Black population constituted over 17% of New Bern's total population. According to Bishir, by 1850, New Bern's free Black population, when compared to the whole population, "exceeded that of nearly all southern cities, including Baltimore, Richmond, Charleston, and New Orleans," along with the nearby city of Wilmington. Free Black New Bernians made up nearly 30% of the population, and they played a significant role in shaping the local culture and landscape.

For more statistics and stories of 19th century New Bern, see Catherine Bishir’s book “Crafting Lives: African American Artisans in New Bern, North Carolina, 1770-1900” published by University of North Carolina Press. The stories of the many artisans in “Crafting Lives” inspired the Tryon Palace Inclusive Public Art Project.

#didyouknow mid-19th century Connecticut had a large community of Black craftspeople from New Bern?

In the years leading up to the Civil War, anti-Black sentiment and legislation increased in New Bern and throughout North Carolina. As a result, many free Black New Bernians left town to find a place where they had more rights and freedoms.

The records show that prominent artisans moved far and wide – to New York, Boston, and even Liberia. Some traveled in groups or relocated to an area where others had gone before them. Census records count 120 former North Carolinians in Cleveland and 135 in Oberlin, Ohio, with New Bern craftspeople in those numbers. By 1860, New Haven, Connecticut was home to over fifty artisans from New Bern and nearby Washington, many of whom were mechanics.

This included the skilled Hancock family, which included a carpenter (William H.), his wife (Mary), and their children, among them a seamstress, a dressmaker, and a wheelwright, whose talents served them well upon both in and beyond North Carolina.

The stories of the many artisans featured in “Crafting Lives: African American Artisans in New Bern, North Carolina, 1770-1900” (published by @uncpress) were the inspiration for the Tryon Palace Inclusive Public Art Project. For more on the craftspeople of New Bern and to learn more about the Tryon Palace Inclusive Public Art Project, visit TryonPalace.com
