Josiah Crudup House, Historic house near Kittrell, North Carolina, United States

The Josiah Crudup House is a two-story residential building in Federal style near Kittrell featuring a central section with a steep pediment and flanking wings topped with hip roofs. The structure sits on a low hill between Kittrell and the Tar River close to U.S. Route 1.

The house was built between 1833 and 1837 and was purchased by Josiah Crudup around 1835. It was later enlarged and modified to its present form, with a two-story central portion topped by a steep pediment and flanking two-story sections with steep hip roofs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

The house's name comes from Josiah Crudup, who bought it around 1835; his son John Boddie Crudup later enlarged and modified it. Visitors can trace the change from the original tripartite Federal composition, a two-story three-bay centre with one-story wings, to the present two-story centre under a steep pediment with two-story hip-roofed sections.

The house stands on a low hill between Kittrell and the Tar River, close to U.S. Route 1, so it is reached by road from Kittrell. It is a private residence and not open as a museum, so the building is seen from the road and its grounds rather than entered.

The house contained North Carolina's first residential elevator. The source does not date its installation or name the person who had it fitted; it records only that the house held this elevator, an unusual feature for a rural Piedmont home of the period.
