| The James M. Howard
House, built between 1888 and 1892, is one of New Bern's few
surviving examples of Queen Anne influenced architecture. James M.
Howard came from a family long active in the shipbuilding
business, but was engaged in mercantile and business pursuits. By
1904, he was a partner with Elijah Hester in the ownership of the
Farmer's Tobacco Warehouse Company. This handsome example of
Victorian-period craftsmanship includes all street-facing windows
upper sash are glazed with small colored glass panes surrounding a
larger clear pane. The highlight of this home is the corner tower,
each of its five sides glazed and having diagonal board aprons
beneath each window. The present Neo-Classical front porch is a
ca.1910 replacement of a smaller portico.
