Dortch House is a historic home located near Battleboro, Nash County, North Carolina. It was built about 1810, by William T. Dortch, and is a Federal-style frame dwelling that consists of a two-story, three-bay, main block covered by a gable roof and a one-story rear wing. It is sheathed in weatherboard and features a one-story full-width front porch and Palladian windows.
The Dortch House, one of the finest Federal farmhouses in the state, has been vacant for several years now, in disrepair and now hosts a "Commercial Property for Sale" sign, hinting at its impending doom.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
