Coor-Gaston House, also known as the Judge William Gaston House, is a historic home located at New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina. It was built in 1774, as determined by dendrochronology, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, "L"-plan, Georgian style frame dwelling with a gable roof. It features a two-tier porch enclosed by Chinese trellis railings and supported by Doric order pillars. It was the home of Congressman and jurist William Gaston (1778-1844).[2]

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

James Coor (1737–1795) built the house soon after 1767. After his death it was owned by his heirs until bought by William Gaston in 1818.[3][1][4]
