William H. Long House, Historic residence in Greenville, North Carolina.
The William H. Long House is a two-story brick-veneer dwelling with a hipped roof intersected by gable-roofed wings at the sides and rear. A monumental pedimented portico and a porte cochere, both carried on paired Tuscan columns, mark the Classical Revival design. It stands at 200 East 4th Street in Greenville and has housed law offices since a renovation around 1980.
William Henry Long, Greenville's mayor from 1901 to 1903, built the house in 1917–1918. Around 1980 it was renovated to house law offices, and in 1982 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
