Josiah Crudup House is a historic home located near Kittrell, Vance County, North Carolina. It was built between 1833 and 1837, purchased by Josiah Crudup around 1835,[2] and was originally a version of the tripartite Federal style composition and consisted of a two-story, three-bay, central section with one-story flanking wings. It was later enlarged and modified to its present form as a two-story central portion, topped by a steep pediment, and flanking two-story sections each with rather steep hip roofs.[3] The house contained the first residential elevator in North Carolina.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
