History edit

The Law Office was built in 1796, and is a one-story, one room, frame building with a low hipped roof and a brick foundation. It was the law office of Congressman and North Carolina politician Archibald Henderson (1768–1822). Upon his death, the law office was inherited by his daughter, Jane Caroline Henderson, who married Congressman and jurist, Nathaniel Boyden (1796–1873).[2]

The Office was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1] It is located in the Salisbury Historic District.
