Melrose, also known as the Williamson House, is a historic plantation house located near Yanceyville, Caswell County, North Carolina. It consists of two two-story, frame blocks connected by a 1 1/2-story breezeway. The original section dated to about 1780 and is a two-story, frame single pile block with Federal style details. The later section was built about 1840, and is a two-story, frame single pile block with Greek Revival style details. The later section features a portico supported by four unfluted Doric order columns. Also on the property is an octagonal, Williamsburg-style pump house with a conical roof.[2]
