“Beaufort Porches”

The Beaufort Business Association and Beaufort artist Mary Faith Warshaw produced this poster of some of Beaufort’s unique porches. The artist’s commissioned paintings are an ongoing effort to document the historical and architectural
significance of the homes of Beaufort-by-the-Sea, North Carolina’s third oldest town. Proceeds from the sale of these reproductions will be used to support local projects and cultural events, all in an effort to help preserve Beaufort’s heritage.

The Beaufort Fence is distinctive with its “up and down” pickets. In Beaufort’s early days fences were required to have a “paled in” or pointed stake characteristic. This may have been due to an old law intended to contain farm animals. Part of the law stated that residents were allowed to catch and kill a pig found running in the streets, but they had to give half to the churchwardens who would distribute it to the hungry.

All posters are hand-signed and measure 18 by 24 inches. Send a check for $30 (includes shipping) to: Beaufort Business Association, P.O. Box 56, Beaufort, NC 28516. Submit your complete mailing address with your order.
