Liddell-McNinch House is a historic home located at Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It was built between 1891 and 1893, and is a 2+12-story, Queen Anne / Shingle Style frame dwelling. The house has a highly complex roofline of projections, gables, porches, and spreading eaves, and wall surfaces of weatherboards, shingles, broken planes, swells, and cavities. It features a wraparound porch and a recessed porch on the second level. President William Howard Taft visited the McNinch House in 1909.[2]

The house is named for two of its previous owners, Vinton Liddell, and Charlotte mayor Samuel S. McNinch.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
