Description


Railroad House

Railroad House is a historic home located at Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina. It was built in 1872, and is a 1 1/2-story, three bay, board-and-batten, Gothic Revival style frame cottage. The gable roof has wide overhanging eaves and "rafter brackets." It has a one-story rear wing, a single central interior chimney in the main block, and an exterior end chimney at the rear of the wing. It was built by the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad for the depot agent. The house was moved to its present site in October 1962, across the street from its original location. The building is operated by the Railroad House Historical Association as a museum.
