HPC 26-01 Boswood-Morris House Local Landmark Designation
Description
The owner wants the early-1900s Boswood-Morris House, an extended I-house on 2.98 acres, designated as a county local historic landmark. The commission recommended approval unanimously; commissioners make the final call August 17.
Impact summary
If the commissioners say yes on August 17, the family gets a 50% property tax deferral each year as long as they keep the home's historic character — and the house gets formal recognition as one of Currituck's significant historic properties.
