Portridge is a historic plantation house located near Louisburg, Franklin County, North Carolina at 225 May Road.[1] While a number of sources say the home was built around 1780, it was actually constructed in circa 1764 according to its current owners.[2] Portridge is a -story, three-bay, single pile Georgian style frame dwelling. It has a gable roof, three brick chimneys, and a one-room rear ell. Portridge was moved to its present location in 1984, and subsequently restored.[3]
Portridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The Garden at Portridge currently hosts special horticulture events, has a botanical garden surrounding the home and sells plants on site. It is open to visitors daily.
