The Leroy Napier House is a historic house built in 1842 in Macon, Georgia by Col. Leroy Napier, Sr. It was designed by architect Elias Carter and originally sat on a 125-acre site. It was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in May 1971. The house has been moved twice, once in 1921 and again in 2007. The latter move took the house 70 miles north to its present location in Morrow, Georgia.
