The Doc Nichols House is an early 20th-century Colonial Revival mansion in eastern Durham, North Carolina off of North Carolina Highway 98.
History
[edit]The Doc Nichols House was built in eastern Durham at the turn of the century for Dr. Nichols, a local physician.[1] The house, built in the Colonial Revival style, was completed in 1900.[1] The original construction of the house consisted of a massive main block with a rectangular plan and an adjacent rear ell with a small doctor's office.[1] The house has two corbelled brick chimneys on either side.[1]
The Nichols family sold the house to the Glover family in the 1940s, after which decorative features including the front porch and roof balustrade were added.[1] Anne Eakes purchased the house in 1985 and opened the Sandpiper Antique Store inside the home.[1]
