The Tucker Carriage House in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a three-story Queen Anne-style outbuilding dating to around 1883, when the structure's owner, Rufus Sylvester Tucker—a Confederate officer and prominent post-Civil War merchant—purchased materials for a "wagon shed." Measuring 35 by 100 feet, it is the sole surviving structure from Tucker's estate and originally stored wheeled vehicles alongside the horses and mules that powered them. The building features clapboard sheathing on its first floor and wooden shakes above, topped by a slate-shingled roof crowned with a square cupola designed to ventilate the interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains a rare example of domestic outbuilding architecture from late-nineteenth-century Raleigh.
