North Carolina, Wake Forest, Dr. William Royall House

The two-story Greek Revival style inspired house was built in 1875 for Dr. William Royall. Dr. Royall was a professor of Greek at nearby Wake Forest College. The side-gabled house with a slate roof with eave returns, two interior chimneys, plain weatherboard, and 6-over-6 sash windows feature a double door entrance with transom and sidelights and a bay window on the west side. On the east side is a one-story side-gabled building that may have been the original kitchen and dining room. It is now attached to the house. The monumental portico was added in the 20th century to replace the original porch.
