Holden–Roberts Farm, also known as Rolling Acres Farm, is a historic home and farm and national historic district located near Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina. The farmhouse was built in 1873–1874, and is a two-story, frame I-house, with modest Greek Revival style detailing. The house is sheathed in weatherboard, has a gable roof, and features two stately single-shouldered end chimneys. Also on the property are the contributing granary (c. 1900), three frame chicken houses (c. 1910), a brick shed-roofed garden house (c. 1915), an equipment shed (c. 1930), and two pole barns (c. 1950). The house was built for Addison Holden, half-brother of North Carolina's Reconstruction Governor William Woods Holden.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
