Commission House Landscaping:
Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens
New Bern, NC
The Commission House was acquired by
Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens for
offices in the mid 1970s. The program
required the redevelopment of the grounds to
replicated period landscaping of the late 19th
century. Based upon photographic evidence
the fence was recreated. New walkways were
designed to define garden areas and a new
wall was developed to provide privacy for the
neighborhood. Local craftsmen were
contracted for the construction.
