Victorian included interpretations and eclectic revivals of historic styles mixed with some Middle Eastern and Asian influences. e Sedberry-Holmes House, circa 1890, is a well-preserved Queen Anne-style house on Person Street that includes Victorian sunburst scrollwork and a polygonal corner turret with a pointed spire. It is a law office in current-day use. You should also see the 1855 John Davis House on Arsenal Avenue for further Victorian themes. e E.A. Poe House of 1897 is known for its Eastlake and "stick-built" exterior details and beautiful Victorian interior. Today it is a historic house museum that adjoins the Museum of the Cape Fear. As Cumberland County ushered in the 20th century, new – and familiar – architectural styles arrived. You can see signs of the late Victorian/Colonial Revival form in the 1897 Holt- Harrison house on Hay Street, with its symmetrical front façade and accented doorway.
