Tryon Palace, also called the Governor's House and the Governor's Palace, is a two-story building located in the eastern part of New Bern, North Carolina. The building is a faithful reconstruction of the original 1770 residence built by architect John Hawks. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1798.
Serving as the official residence and offices of the British governors of North Carolina from 1770 until the American Revolution, the original building was seized by provincial militia in 1775. The palace was the site of the first few sessions of the state legislature following the 1783 treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolutionary War, and served as the state house until 1792 when the capital was relocated to Raleigh.
The rebuilt building was erected on the original palace grounds in the 1950s and opened to the public as a house museum in 1959. The 18th century gardens were also recreated, with 16 acres (6.5 ha) of plantings, representing three centuries of landscape and gardening heritage. Today, it is a state-owned historic site.
