Wood Lawn (Mount Mourne, North Carolina)

Wood Lawn is a historic house located in Mount Mourne, Iredell County, North Carolina. Constructed circa 1830, it is a two-story, five-bay, Federal-style brick dwelling with a gable roof. The house features notable architectural details including Flemish bond brickwork on the facade and a symmetrical floor plan typical of the period.

Wood Lawn was built by Dr. Alexander McNeely, a prominent physician in the area. The property served as his residence and medical practice. The surrounding grounds included farmland and outbuildings necessary for supporting a self-sufficient plantation economy common in the antebellum South.

It reflects the lifestyle and economic activities of a successful professional in the region during the early 19th century.

Wood Lawn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The listing includes the main house and contributing outbuildings and structures that contribute to the historical significance of the property. The property is privately owned.
