The Willis M. Graves House, located on Oberlin Road in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a two-story Queen Anne style frame dwelling built around 1884 in the freedmen's village of Oberlin. Constructed by Willis M. Graves, an African-American brick mason, the house features distinctive Queen Anne characteristics including a projecting two-story polygonal bay crowned by a prominent gable, a one-story wraparound porch, and a projecting two-story square tower with a pyramidal roof. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, the house was delisted in 2019 following its relocation but was relisted in 2021. It is also known as the Graves-Fields House and Oakcrest.
