Built in 1903 by Rolesville physician Dr. Lawrence Branch Young, this two story house blends Victorian and Classical details, such as a steep pyramidal roof with front and side cross gables, tall corbelled brick chimneys, and a wraparound porch with slim Ionic columns and a turned balustrade. The Young House is the only example of the Queen Anne / Colonial Revival-style in Rolesville. Dr. Lawrence Young served the Rolesville community during the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Dr. Lawrence Branch Young House is the first local historic landmark designated by the Rolesville Board of Commissioners.
