Building: Mason, John A. House (Chatham County, North Carolina)
- Built:
- Community:
- Chatham County
- State:
- North Carolina
- Provenance note:
- Built by John A. Mason, the house passed to his grandchildren, Thomas M. Mason and Elizabeth Frances Mason. Upon the death of Thomas, in 1917, the house was sold to his granddaughter Tina and her husband Wade Herman Scott.
- Architectural note:
- The house is a two-story center-hall structure, with a full-length porch. Its Greek Revival exterior consists of pedimented gable ends and a central entrance framed by sidelights. The intact interior elements are also typical of the Greek Revival style.
- Historical note:
- The house is virtually identical to the nearby William Marcom House, which was built by the same unknown builder. This structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
