Watts and Yuille Warehouses, also known as Brightleaf Square, are two historic tobacco storage warehouses located at Durham, Durham County, North Carolina. They are part of the Bright Leaf Historic District. They were built in 1904, and are two identical buildings parallel to each other with a courtyard in between. They are two-story Romanesque-style brick structures, seven bays wide and twenty bays long. Each unit of the warehouses is 75 feet by 118 feet, for a total of 35,400 square feet on each floor. They are an example of "slow burn" masonry and wood factory construction. They were among the 12 brick tobacco storage warehouses erected by The American Tobacco Company trust beginning in 1897.{{Cite web | author = Claudia Roberts Brown | title=Watts and Yuille Warehouses| work = National Register of Historic Places - Nomination and Inventory | date = June 1984| url = https://files.nc.gov/ncdcr/nr/DH0087.pdf | publisher = North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office | accessdate = 2014-10-01}} The buildings have been converted to retail and office use.
