Franklin Pierce Tate House
Franklin Pierce Tate House, National Register of Historic Places mansion in Morganton, United States
The Franklin Pierce Tate House stands as a two-story brick residence with a mansard roof and three-story octagonal tower at 410 W. Union Street.
Built around 1850 in Greek Revival style, the house underwent substantial modifications in 1868 when Samuel McDowell Tate added Second Empire architectural elements.

The house incorporates Flemish Bond brickwork throughout its exterior walls, with brick pilasters separating the architectural bays of the main facade.
