Albertus Ledbetter House is a historic home located near , McDowell County, North Carolina. The house was built for the family of Jonathan Ledbetter, a Revolutionary War veteran and pioneer settler.[2] His son Albertus Ledbetter continued to live there as an adult.[3]

The original section was built about 1826, and enlarged to its present size about 1836. It is two-story, side-gabled, timber frame dwelling with Federal style decorative elements. It features a one-story, full-width, shed-roofed porch. Also on the property are the contributing log smokehouse (c. 1826) and log spring house (c. 1826).[4]

Vacant for years and in poor condition, the house was restored by a couple in 1999 who took great care in preserving its historical details.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
