TARRYMORE HOTEL circa 1910-1911

Photographs and information from the Swansboro Historical Association's facebook page and website.

A lot near Front and Moore Streets was once home to the Tarrymore Hotel, demolished decades ago to provide parking.



According to the Swansboro Historical Association, the hotel was a fine example of a coastal North Carolina resort. Upon completion, the Tarrymore was a two-story, 24-room hotel. A first-floor porch overlooked the lawn and the White Oak River. Before highway 24, the property extended down to the river. At the river, a pier with a cabana and bathhouse extended over the water. The hotel catered to hunters and anglers and also served locals by hosting large dances and gatherings. Prior to its demolition, the hotel was converted into apartments in the 1950s.
