AN HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY

The Arts Council of Moore County is growing and the Campbell House must grow with us if we are to meet the needs of our growing community. For over 100 years, the Campbell House has been a beacon of culture, enhancing and influencing civic life. The house core was once part of the original Boyd mansion, located 100 feet in front of present-day Weymouth Center. In the early 1920s, a section of the house was moved across the street to become the home of Jackson Boyd. In 1946, Mr. & Mrs. W.D. Campbell purchased the property. The Campbell Family gave the property to the town in 1966, requesting it be used for the cultural and social enrichment of the community. True to their wishes, the Campbell House has continually been utilized by the Arts Council.

GALLERY ADDITION DETAILS

The Arts Council has engaged Liberatos Architects, a classical architecture and design firm, to create plans for a major addition matching the historic structure. The addition’s main feature will be a large art gallery with room for seating 150 people, a separate meeting room, and walls to display large works of art. The plan also includes a new small art gallery, two ADA accessible restrooms, and an elevator for visitor access to the 2nd floor and to the basement for storage.

The project has been endorsed by the Town of Southern Pines and the Campbell Family. We hope to break ground by 2027.

LARGE GALLERY DECORATED CEILING

The large gallery will feature an artisan-made decorative plaster ceiling, ornamented with paintings created by noted classical realist artists who lived and trained in Southern Pines. Similar in nature to frescoes located in western North Carolina, the ceiling will attract visitors along East Connecticut Avenue, a North Carolina Scenic Byway anchored by the Arts Council, Fort Liberty, Southern Pines Horse Country, Weymouth Center, and Weymouth Woods Nature Preserve.
