James Bryant House is a historic home located near Harris Crossroads, Moore County, North Carolina. It is dated to about 1820, and is a two-story, three-bay, single-pile frame farmhouse. It rests on a fieldstone pier foundation, has a gable roof, shed porch, and rear shed rooms. The house has been restored.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
The McLendon Cabin beside the house served as a detached kitchen after the larger house was built. It was constructed by early settler Joel McLendon c. 1758-1760. The one-room log dwelling, representative of those built by the early settlers of the region, is the oldest house in Moore County on its original location.[3] It has been described as "a well-proportioned structure whose early features reflect exacting workmanship."[4] Standing approximately 40 feet (12 m) to the side of the James Bryant House, it served as a kitchen after the larger house was built. It was restored in 1970 by the Moore County Historical Association.[3]
