James Buchanan Duke House
James Buchanan Duke House, Colonial Revival mansion in Myers Park, Charlotte, US.
The H-shaped residence features two-story tetrastyle porticos on both the south and north gable ends, with large two-and-a-half story connected blocks.
James Buchanan Duke acquired the house in 1919 and expanded it threefold, establishing his business headquarters and developing plans for The Duke Endowment.
The mansion became a center for important social gatherings, including a notable wedding attended by future president John F. Kennedy in the late 1920s.
The property spans 4.1 acres at 400 Hermitage Road and operates as a historic inn and meeting center under the management of the Lynnwood Foundation.
A fire in 1966 severely damaged the structure, but the Lineberger family undertook extensive restoration work to return it to its former condition.
