The Willis M. Graves House, also known as the Graves-Fields House and Oakcrest, is a historic home located on Oberlin Road in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. It was built about 1884 in the freedmen's village of Oberlin, and is a two-story, frame Queen Anne style dwelling. It has a projecting, two-story polygonal bay capped by a very large gable; one-story wraparound porch; and a projecting, two-story square tower with a pyramidal roof. It was built by Willis M. Graves, an African-American brick mason.[1]
It was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 (#02000500). It was delisted in 2019 due to being relocated,[2] but was relisted again in 2021.
