Come find out why the Kirkpatricks chose New Bern as a
wonderful place they call home.
The Harmony House Inn was purchased by Benjamin Ellis in
1850 from Francis Lamotte who had owned the house since 1809.
It began as a four-room Greek Revival home. As the Ellis
family prospered, the house was expanded and porches were
built and enclosed to accommodate their six children. Around
the turn of the century, the house was sawed in half, the west
side was moved over nine feet, a new hallway and stairs (with
Victorian influence) were built, and a wall was built dividing
the house into two sections.
Ed and Sooki Kirkpatrick have added a new suite and extra
amenities, ensuring every modern comfort to this historical
bed and breakfast. |
