James Boyd House, Colonial Revival residence in Southern Pines, United States.

The James Boyd House is a residential structure built in the 1920s with brick construction and traditional Colonial Revival design features. Its central two-story block connects to adjoining wings through carefully designed transition spaces, creating a unified five-part composition.

Historical novelist James Boyd built the house after World War I; architect Aymar Embury II designed it, and it was completed in the 1920s. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Since 1979 the building has housed the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities.

Since 1979 the house has been the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities, named for Boyd's ancestral home in England. It hosts concerts, lectures, art exhibits and literary readings, and writers use the estate for residencies. The novelist's own library and period furnishings remain in the rooms where he entertained guests.

The estate sits at the intersection of Ridge Road and Connecticut Avenue in Southern Pines with straightforward access from town. The grounds span about 40 acres, offering parking and pathways that allow visitors to walk around the different sections at an easy pace.
