Josiah Crudup House, Federal architectural residence near Kittrell, North Carolina
The Josiah Crudup House features a two-story central portion with steep pediment and flanking two-story sections topped by hip roofs near U.S. Route 1.
Built between 1833 and 1837, the house belonged to Baptist minister and politician Josiah Crudup, who purchased substantial land in present-day Vance County in 1834.
The residence exemplifies Federal architecture design principles through its tripartite composition, symmetrical layout, and detailed architectural elements from the early 19th century.
The property stands on a low hill between Kittrell and Tar River, covering less than one acre of land at coordinates 36°11'17″N 78°26'59″W.
This residence contained North Carolina's first residential elevator, installed during improvements made by John Boddie Crudup following his father's ownership.
