About
Bellamy Mansion

History and Design Arts, located in historic downtown, Wilmington, NC was built
between 1859 and 1861. Located on Market Street in the heart of the extensive
historic overlay district, this spectacular mansion is one of North Carolina’s
finest examples of the art of architecture. Designed with Greek Revival and
Italianate styling, the house was constructed with the labor of both enslaved
skilled carpenters, and local, freed black artisans. The mansion is open for
individual, group and school tours six days a week, hosts a rich educational
program and features art exhibitions and musical programs.
