Charles Webb House 1911

THE NATIONAL REGISTER of Historic Places: 305 Church Street - Gable-fronted side-hall plan house with novelty-siding, wood shingling, millwork, and decorative window in gable, one wraparound porch and board-and-batten ell. Webb was a carpenter. NR

Charles Rodgers "Charlie" Webb 1873-1951, was the son of Thomas Webb 1838-1879 and Elizabeth Hart Moore 1838-1914 (daughter of Tyre Moore and Catherine Wilson). In 1895 Charles married Pauline Moore 1876-1959 (dau. of Joseph Francis Moore and Martha Ann Bell).

Ernest Webb House

In the 1880 census Thomas Webb's widow Elizabeth (42) was in Swansboro with sons Willie 20, Ernest 9, Charles 7 and daughter Emma 16 with husband Elijah Sewel 22.

By 1920 Charles Webb and wife Pauline Moore were on Church Street with children: Richard 24, Clyde 23, Pauline 18, Horace 16 and 8-year old Aletta. 


Both Charles and his brother Ernest were carpenters and worked for Swansboro Land and Lumber. Charles' 305 Church Street home is very similar to his brother Ernest's home (above right) at 307 Church Street, perhaps also built by the Webb brothers or by Robert Lee Smith and Emory Rogers. See Charles' other house at 211 Elm Street: Charles Webb House 1898.
