Rose Hill, later known as Timberlake House, is a historic plantation house located near Louisburg, Franklin County, North Carolina. The main block was built about 1803, and is a two-story, five-bay, transitional Georgian / Federal style frame dwelling. It has a gable roof and double-shouldered brick end chimneys. A rear ell was expanded about 1840, and about 1880 a one-story Queen Anne-style, full width verandah was added. About 1910, a Neoclassical portico was added over the verandah, as was a bathroom wing. Also on the property are the contributing slave quarter (c. 1840), kitchen (c. 1840), playhouse (c. 1910), and generator / wellhouse (c. 1910).[1]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
North Carolina First Lady Fanny Yarborough Bickett was born here.[2]
