The Myers-White House, also known as Sycamore Grove, is a private residence located near Hertford in the Bethel Township of Perquimans County, North Carolina. It is one of the oldest private homes in the state. The exact construction date is not known. It was likely constructed in the early 1700s. Thomas Long (~1730) is assumed to be the architect and builder. It is a 1+1⁄2-story frame dwelling with brick ends and a gambrel roof.
