Note: Henry Bacon was an American Beaux-Arts architect best known for overseeing the design and engineering of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The house, designed by James Brite and Henry Bacon, was constructed in Wilmington as a prime example of the Shingle style. It now serves as the parish house for St. James Episcopal Church. Originally built for Donald MacRae, a captain in the Second Regiment of the North Carolina Volunteers, the home is situated within the Wilmington Historic District.
