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.

The house was designed by architect Charles Christian Hook, with its original section built in 1914 and substantially enlarged in 1919. James Buchanan Duke lived there during the last five years of his life, until his death in 1925. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The house carries two earlier names, Lynnwood and White Oaks, used before Duke's ownership. Duke lived there only during the last five years of his life, from about 1920 until his death in 1925, so its social role is tied to that short final period rather than to decades of family residence.

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.

The house appears in the Historic American Buildings Survey as record NC-321, documented with 34 photographs, a color transparency and three pages of captions. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the same year its H-shaped Colonial Revival plan, designed by Charles Christian Hook, was formally recognized.
