Morgan House is a historic home located in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. It was built circa 1826 for Samuel Holstead, and is a two-story, three-bay, Federal style, temple-form frame dwelling. It sits on a brick pier foundation, with a three-part form-a central section flanked by porches. The front facade features a "dwarf portico" supported by two pairs of vernacular Doric order columns that carry an arched central bay.[2]
