Shaw House, also known as the Old Shaw Homestead, is a historic home located near Southern Pines, Moore County, North Carolina.Dating back to the early 19th century, it is a 1+12-story, three-bay, frame dwelling that features design elements from the Federal and Greek Revival styles.

The house is notable for its massive, single-shoulder, dressed sandstone and brick end chimneys, a gable roof, and full-width engaged front porch. A rear ell was added in the late 19th or early 20th century. Shaw House is believed to be one of the oldest surviving houses in Moore County.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
