Alexander Long House
Alexander Long House, Heritage house in Spencer, North Carolina, United States
The Alexander Long House features seven fireplaces, two large double-shouldered brick chimneys, and a granite foundation supporting a four-story wooden frame.
Built around 1783, this plantation residence belonged to Alexander Long, who operated a ferry service across the Yadkin River one mile east.
The residence exhibits Flemish-bond brickwork on its chimneys, marked with the original owner's initials and decorative heart patterns.
The property includes 18 acres of maintained gardens, a three-acre spring-fed bass pond, and 15 acres of woods with walking paths.
The Alexander Long House stands as North Carolina's only example of New England-style Flemish-bond brickwork, recognized in 1972 by the National Register.
