Cadmus N. Bray House is a historic house located at 229 West Second Street in Siler City, Chatham County, North Carolina. James W. Turner, a local builder, constructed the house, and it remains a nearly unaltered representative of early 20th century architectural preferences in a small North Carolina rail town.

Description and history

[edit]

The 2+12-story, Queen Anne/Colonial Revival style timber-framed residence was built in 1906 for Siler City businessman and town mayor, Cadmus Bray. It features multiple bay projections covered by a steeply pitched and cross-gabled hipped roof surmounted by a square frame balustrade and a wraparound porch.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1999.[1]
