400 Pollock Street

Beaufort, NC 28516

Coming Soon - No Showings until 2/16/2026 A rare opportunity to steward a piece of Beaufort, North Carolina's cultural and architectural history. The historic Godette Hotel, built in 1946 by master carpenter, Henderson Godette, Sr., stands as a powerful legacy of entrepreneurship and community contribution. Managed and operated by Lucy Godette, the hotel served as a safe haven for Black travelers, bridge workers, Menhaden fishermen, and students as a place to stay, work and play. The building originally featured 14 guest rooms upstairs, with a restaurant, kitchen, game room, and dance floor below. Many original elements remain, including the original bar with stools, juke box, and hardwood floors. Located just three blocks from Beaufort's waterfront and historic downtown, the property is ideally positioned for adaptive reuse. Potential concepts include a boutique hotel, apartments, restaurant with music, retail or mercantile space, or a mixed-use combination (subject to approvals). Conceptual plans have previously been prepared, and the Town of Beaufort has presented their vision of The Godette Hotel being rehabilitated on their new Cedar Street Mixed-Use corridor as an authentic, historically rich venue and powerful economic driver for the town as it meets the goals of its NC Main Street America proposal. The property is in the process of being listed on the National and North Carolina Historic Registers and is subject to Preservation NC Foundation covenants. Qualified buyers may be eligible for federal and North Carolina historic rehabilitation tax credits, potentially offsetting a significant portion of approved renovation costs (subject to SHPO/NPS review, buyer due diligence, and compliance).
