DR. JOSEPHUS HALL HOUSE
226 South Jackson Street
Salisbury, NC

The Dr. Josephus Hall House today sits in a park like setting, reminiscent of a long ago era when life was very different.  Purchased by Historic Salisbury Foundation in 1972, it was the Foundation's first project and help galvanize Salisbury's fledgling historic preservation efforts.  

Individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this handsome house was built as a school in 1820. It became a residence in 1825 when local businessman Maxwell Chambers and his half-sister Rebecca Troy purchased the house and made it their home. 

Successful medical doctor and businessman, Josephus Hall purchased the house in 1859 and began work to make it the showplace it is today. This house remained a home to three generations of the Hall family. Historic Salisbury Foundation purchased the house and furnishings from Dr. Hall's great granddaughter. 

with the Hall's china, silver and furniture, the house casts a magical spell over visitors. Since it's purchase, Historic Salisbury Foundation has opened maintained the house the opened it as a house museum.
