Hatsell-Clawson House circa 1902: The Gutting Process

Since the 1902 Hatsell-Clawson house was turned into 3 apartments in the mid-to-late 50s, the house had to be gutted in order to start the restoration/reconstructing process - 'recreating' the rooms and stairway close to the way they were when the house was built.

Two Hatsell Houses in Beaufort Harbor

Descendants of this early Hatchell family, who first settled on the White Oak River in 1755, eventually found their way to the Beaufort harbor and built two adjacent houses on Orange Street - The Andrew Lee Hatsell House circa 1827 and the Hatsell-Clawson House circa 1902. This site is a record of the year-long restoration of the 1902 house - originally contracted to C.C. Guthrie by Charles Ives Hatsell for his bride Marie Ella Clawson. Family history helps us understand the people who called these houses home.
