Green Duke House is a historic plantation house located at Soul City, near Manson, Warren County, North Carolina. It was built about 1800 as a Georgian style dwelling, and remodeled in the post-Victorian style about 1900. It is a two-story, five-bay, frame dwelling with a hipped roof. The front and rear facades feature one-story porches with elaborate Ionic order columns. At the time of its listing, the house was being used as a day care center.[2]

Duke was the surname of an early landowner, and Green the maiden name of his wife.[3] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
