The John Wright Stanly House is a historic home located at New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina. It was probably designed by John Hawks and built about 1779. It is a two-story, five-bay, central hall plan Georgian style frame dwelling. It has a hipped roof and roof deck with balustrade. The building housed a public library from 1935 to 1965. It has been moved twice, coming to its present location in 1965, and subsequently restored as part of the Tryon Palace complex.[2]
The house's namesake is former owner John Wright Stanly, a Revolutionary War veteran.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
