It also argues the house embodies top-level 1920s country house design, with fine brickwork, a tile roof, a lead oriel window, custom ironwork and high-quality interior detailing.","narrative":"Morrocroft is a large brick manor house at 2525 Richardson Drive in Charlotte, built between 1925 and 1927 for Cameron Morrison, governor of North Carolina from 1921 to 1925, and his wife. New York architect Harrie Thomas Lindeberg designed it in a loosely Tudor style, with asymmetrical massing, steep gabled roofs of terra cotta shingles, seven chimneys, and leaded-glass windows set in sandstone or wooden mullions. The estate once covered about 3,000 acres of farmland, much of it later developed for housing, shopping centers and an industrial park. Inside, the house has Norwegian pine paneling, carved mantels, a spiral stair with a steel railing, and a custom wrought-iron entrance door. Morrison lived here for the last twenty-six years of his life and is remembered as the Good Roads Governor. The house is recognized for its link to Morrison and for Lindeberg's design, which the nomination ranks among the best country houses of its era in the state.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Harrie Thomas Lindeberg (architect)","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; condition listed as good and altered, on its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:50.225887-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/28/7213/47721328/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/83003970.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83003970/888e17da9e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83003970/888e17da9e-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Mx.
