The Hubert Teer House, also known as the Hubert and Mary Teer House, is a mansion in the Hope Valley Historic District in Durham, North Carolina.
History
[edit]The house was commissioned by construction magnate Hubert Teer and his wife, Mary Teer, in 1932 and designed by the architect George Watts Carr.[1] The builder was George Kane.[2] The home, built in the Colonial Revival style, is located in Hope Valley Historic District.[1] It sits on a 1.7-acre lot along Hope Valley Country Club's golf course.[1] It features a two-storey portico across a five-bay façade and a neoclassical entrance with a Palladian window.[3]
After Teer's death, the house passed to his daughter, Mary Teer Barringer.[4] It underwent remodeling in 1997.[1] A miniature version of the house, built as a play house for Hubert Teer's daughter, sits on the property.[2]
