Mag Blue House is a historic home near Laurinburg, in Scotland County, North Carolina. It was constructed in 1836 and is an early example of the Coastal Cottage form with Federal-style decorative influences. The structure is a 1+1⁄2-story, five bay by three bay, timber-frame dwelling with a hall-and-parlor floor plan.
The house features a steeply pitched gable roof that extends outward to form a wide, sheltering front porch supported by simple wooden columns. Across the porch façade, the house is flush-sheathed, which was typical for the time period and region. A rear kitchen/dining wing projects from the main structure and is topped by a gabled roof. Decorative detailing is minimal but consistent with the Federal style, including finely executed corner boards, symmetrical proportions, and restrained interior millwork.
