A Timeless Queen Anne Victorian Ready for Its Next Chapter
The Dr. William Long House: A Preservationist’s Dream in Graham, NC
Step into history with the Dr. William Long House, a masterfully preserved Queen Anne-style Victorian built in 1900.
This 2,990 sq ft residence is more than just a home; it is a piece of North Carolina’s educational legacy, originally belonging to Dr. William Samuel Long, a prominent clergyman and the first president of Elon College (now Elon University).
The exterior is a testament to the era’s craftsmanship, featuring classic Victorian lines and a gracious wraparound porch. Inside, the home is a treasure trove of original architectural details, including shiplap walls, wavy glass windows, and original coal fireplaces with their authentic covers and mantels intact. The grand entry opens to two parlors with working pocket doors, while the second story is bathed in natural light across three large bedrooms.
Located on a corner double lot just minutes from Historic Downtown Graham and I-40, this home is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This prestigious status not only honors its past but also unlocks significant financial incentives for its future restoration.
