Tryon Palace, also called the Governor's House and the Governor's Palace, is a two-story building located in the eastern part of New Bern, North Carolina. The building is a faithful reconstruction of the original 1770 residence built by architect John Hawks .
The unpopularity of the new taxes spawned the derogatory nickname 'Tryon Palace'. In 1770, Tryon moved into the completed mansion. [4] The house was "a monument of opulence and elegance extraordinary in the American colonies."
Tryon was not immediately promoted to governor as expected but assumed the position after Dobbs's death the following year. From 1766 to 1767, Hawks and Tryon worked to plan an "edifice", later dubbed Tryon Palace, in New Bern. The building would serve both as a governor's mansion and a meeting place for the North Carolina General Assembly.
