J. Deryl Hart House

The J. Deryl Hart House is the official residence for the President of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

Built between 1933 and 1934 for Julian Deryl Hart, the three-story brick and timber Tudor Revival mansion is located on the university's West Campus, near Wallace Wade Stadium, at the crossroads of Duke University Road and Academy Road.

[4] The master bedroom, which includes a dressing room, large bathroom, and a sleeping porch, is located on the second floor.
