James Buchanan Duke House
James Buchanan Duke House, Colonial Revival mansion in Myers Park, Charlotte, US.
The James Buchanan Duke House is a Colonial Revival residence in Myers Park featuring an H-shaped floor plan and two-story columned porches on both its south and north sides. The structure joins two large, two-and-a-half-story building blocks through balanced architectural design.
James Buchanan Duke purchased the house in 1919 and undertook significant expansion to house his business operations and the planning of the Duke Endowment. These enlargements transformed it into a major center for his regional enterprises.
The mansion served as a venue for major social events that drew prominent figures from the region. Its rooms reflect the hospitality and social life that took place within its walls.
The property sits on Hermitage Road and operates today as a historic inn and conference center managed by the Lynnwood Foundation. Visitors should inquire ahead since access may be limited due to its function as an event venue and it is not always open for independent touring.
A fire in 1966 caused serious damage to the building, but the Lineberger family undertook extensive restoration work. Their efforts restored the mansion to its original appearance and saved it for future generations.
