Brown–Graves House and Brown's Store is a historic plantation complex located near Locust Hill, Caswell County, North Carolina. The plantation house was built about 1800, and is a two-story, five-bay, Late Georgian style frame dwelling. It is set on a stone basement and has a low hipped roof. The front facade features a one-story pedimented porch with Corinthian order columns. Brown's Store is located across from the house and is a one-story, gabled frame building with a single shouldered stone and brick chimney. Also on the property are the contributing two slave quarters, a smoke house, and a Greek Revival period law office.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
