The William R. Davie House, on Norman St. in Halifax, Halifax County, North Carolina, is a historic house with significance dating from 1783. William R. Davie (1754–1820) was born in England. He was involved in the American Revolution, and served in the North Carolina legislature. The house, also known as Loretta, was built on five acres that Davie bought in 1783. It was built starting probably in about 1785. It is a large two-story, frame side-hall plan house beneath a gable roof. It has a two-story wing raised from an earlier one-story wing and a number of one-story rear additions. The house is sheathed in weatherboard and rests on a brick foundation.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
