This historic plantation house in Hyde County, NC, is known as the George V. Credle House (also Rose Bay Plantation). George V. Credle acquired the 1,798-acre tract in 1855 and likely built the house soon after. The property functioned as a working plantation, which, according to the 1860 census, had two slave dwellings on-site. During the Civil War, local tradition holds that Credle ordered the bridge over Rose Bay burned to impede Union forces.

Mr. Credle was a prominent farmer, merchant, and county commissioner.

The house features fluted porch columns, molded corner boards, a divided center hall, a double-pile floor plan with four large rooms per floor, twelve-foot ceilings, and original six-over-six sash windows.

The house has been beautifully restored in recent years.
