Old Brick House, Colonial house in Elizabeth City, United States.

The Old Brick House is a residential structure in Elizabeth City featuring frame construction combined with brick gable ends and a raised brick basement. The two interior end chimneys with decorative caps are among the building's most distinctive features.

Built in 1750, the house represents one of the few surviving examples of colonial-era frame structures with brick ends in North Carolina. This construction method was characteristic of regional building traditions during that period.

Local legend held that the pirate Blackbeard built and first occupied the house, though he had been dead since 1718. The story persists in Elizabeth City even though the building dates to about 1750.

The house is a private residence, so visiting means viewing it from the public road rather than touring the interior or grounds. It stands near Elizabeth City in Pasquotank County, North Carolina; check the National Register listing entry for its address before setting out, since the rural lane is easy to miss.

Local legend claimed the pirate Blackbeard built and first occupied the house, though he had been dead since 1718. The story persists despite the roughly 1750 construction date.
