Morrocroft is a historic home located at Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It was designed by architect Harrie T. Lindeberg and built between 1925 and 1927. It is a Colonial Revival/Tudor Revival style brick manor house. It consists of a main two story block ( stories on the rear facade) with rambling -story side wings. It is characterized by picturesque massing, rhythmic spacing of mullioned, multipaned grouped windows, and numerous multi-stack chimneys rising from steeply pitched gable roofs. It was built by North Carolina Governor and Congressman Cameron A. Morrison and his second wife, Sara Ecker Watts Morrison. After Morrison's death in 1953, the house passed to his daughter, Angelia Lawrance Morrison Harris. Read more on Wikipedia
