Elmwood Plantation, Federal plantation in Gatesville, North Carolina, US.

Elmwood Plantation is a two-story, three-bay Federal-period frame house near Gatesville, North Carolina, built about 1822. It has a side-hall plan and a two-story, two-bay rectangular side wing. A separate gambrel-roof frame kitchen also stands on the property.

The house was built around 1822 by David Parker during the early years of American Federal architecture in North Carolina. Recognition came in 1972 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit.

The home's Federal style shows how people in early 1800s North Carolina valued balanced, ordered design in their main residences. You can see this preference in the precise symmetry and formal layout that owners of substantial estates preferred to display.

The property sits east of Gatesville where two country roads meet and covers several acres of land. As a private residence, the building can only be viewed from public roads and areas near the site.

The gambrel-roof frame kitchen on the property is described in the National Register listing as thought to be the only one of its kind in North Carolina. The house itself was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, the same year the kitchen's rarity was recorded.
