Gibbs House (Beaufort, North Carolina)

Gibbs House is a historic Greek Revival style home built around 1851 in Beaufort, North Carolina. This two-story dwelling features a distinctive two-tier porch and has historical significance as it served as a base for marine scientists from Johns Hopkins University in the 1880s, likely making it the first school of marine biology in the U.S. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, making it a notable site for tourists and researchers interested in American history and marine science.
