The Weir-Jordan House, located at 223 North Edgeworth Street, was built in 1846. According to their website, the house is believed to be one of the ten original homes built in downtown Greensboro. The house is built in the two-story, traditional, double-pile style. The home was first owned by Dr. David Weir, President of the Edgeworth Female Academy, and then by John F. Jordan who was in the tobacco business. Mr. Weir went on to found the first insurance company in Greensboro and Mr. Jordan was a local sheriff and eventually served as Director of the Chamber of Commerce.

Presently, the Greensboro Woman’s Club meets at the Weir-Jordan House. They have owned it since 1921. Additionally, it is available for catering events and civic organizations can arrange to hold meetings there. While the home has undergone renovations and a few modifications, it still retains its yesteryear charm. It is believed to have been designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, the architect who planned the State Capitol in Raleigh as well as the Blandwood Mansion in Greensboro. Since 1984, the house has been on the national register of historic places. It is one of those places that is easy to drive by and not notice; however, this house is worth noticing.
