Deepwater Estate

-A A +A
1820s. 1 Noble Glenn Dr.

This remarkably intact raised coastal cottage, one of the earliest surviving houses built on the Isle of Hope, was formerly the residence of General Bernard E. Lee. The house is among the handful that had access to a deep-water channel, unlike those developed later along the Narrows. It has a low red roof, a covered porch raised up on brick piers, functioning gas exterior lights, and a lush riverfront landscape. The original house has been extended and its interior modernized, but special care was taken to ensure its historical integrity, particularly along the river-facing facade.
