Coor-Bishop House is a historic home located at New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina. The original home was designed in the Georgian style by John Hawks and built about 1767. Between 1904 and 1908, the house was extensively remodeled to incorporate both Queen Anne and Georgian Revival concepts. The two-story frame dwelling features a high deck-on-hip roof, a projecting entrance pavilion, and a wide wraparound porch with Corinthian order columns.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
