The Lentz Hotel, erected in 1853, is an historic site that is the oldest commercial building in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.

It was moved in 1980 from its original site at the center of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina and restored.

The building reflects the "bracketed mode" of construction, made popular by American architect Andrew Jackson Downing (1815-1852).

This "Carpenter Gothic" style includes brackets under especially wide eaves, vertical board-and-batten sheathing, and heavy lintels over the windows.

In 1911, the Lentzes built an outside set of stairs so the upstairs rooms could be used by the female students of Mont Ameona Seminary after the school burned (it was considered unseemly for girls to walk through the downstairs rooms where men could be present).
