The Federal-style John Mark Verdier House is a jewel among Beaufort’s many historic homes. Built by a French Huguenot, this 19th-Century home is replete with a fireplace and a finely carved ornamental mantle. Listed in the National Register, this historic home served as the headquarters for Union troops during the Civil War. Until it came under the wings of the Beaufort Historic Foundation in 1971, the house was used for a variety of businesses. Located across the street from Waterfront Park, it is the only home of its kind that is open to the public. The home is also known Lafayette House because of the revolutionary war hero who stayed there.
