Piedmont Laureate
Moorefields, built in 1785 as the summer home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Alfred Moore of Wilmington, is a two-story Federal-style house, with a Chinese Chippendale staircase and “Great Hall” lined with dark oil portraits. The house is situated amid 70 acres of pasture, woodland and lawn, including a maze of boxwood hedges. Stepping into Moorefields is like opening a time capsule. The last private owner, artist and UNC French professor Edward Draper-Savage, is buried (d. 1978) beside the house along with his cats. The house, now owned by the Moorefields Foundation, is filled with Draper-Savage’s paintings and sculptures (finished and unfinished), fine furnishings, and a collection of ceramics and other objets d’art.
