Completed in 1901, the turn-of-the-
century Donald MacRae House
was designed by Henry Bacon from
the offices of Brite and Bacon on Fifth
Avenue in New York City for MacRae,
his wife and their daughter.
During his career, Bacon, who
designed many public buildings and
monuments including the Lincoln
Memorial in Washington, D.C., only
designed a handful of private homes.
The only two Bacon-designed
dwellings in Wilmington, North
Carolina, are Live Oaks, a tabby coated,
octagonal villa on Masonboro Sound
Road designed for the Parsley family
and the Donald MacRae House for
Captain Donald V. MacRae, Spanish-
American War veteran and president-treasurer
of Wilmington Cotton Mills
and wife, Monimia Cary Davis.
Though not a native of Wilmington,
Bacon lived in the city and is interred at
Oakdale Cemetery, and not related to
Ann Moore Bacon for whom the house
is dedicated.
“One thing that sets our firm apart from other domestic law firms in town is
that we quickly make time for your initial consultation and your
office appointments, and we are prompt with returning your phone calls and
emails. Communication with you and the opposing law firm is vital to increasing your
chances of success,” Brandon says. “We do it.”
As past president of both the New Hanover County Bar Association and the Fifth
Judicial District Bar, Brandon Tise has the experience required to handle the serious
and emotional issues surrounding the practice of Domestic Law. Brandon has practiced
in Wilmington since graduating Wake Forest School of Law in 1986. His focus is
important issues of child custody, child support, property settlement and alimony.
“These decisions are often life changing and should be decided carefully and
thoughtfully, not made in haste or based largely on raw emotion,” says Brandon, who
has owned his own downtown Wilmington practice since 1988. Brandon is also proud
of his experienced staff: Tricia K. Tise, office manager and paralegal, who has her
MBA from the University of North Carolina Wilmington; Richard A. Squires, legal
assistant, who is also a licensed attorney in the state of New York; and Keri Bolenbaugh,
paralegal, a recent graduate of UNC Charlotte. Tricia, Rick and Keri are very important
to the success of the firm and are very dedicated to helping clients through their cases.
“Our main goal is protecting your rights,” Brandon says. “Let us begin helping
you today.”
