Melchior Rasp

Melchior Rasp (8 January 1715 – 19 March 1785) was an Austrian master mason. He built several notable buildings in the Moravian community in today's Old Salem, North Carolina. These buildings are some of the few that have survived.

Rasp is described as having played an important role in the early Moravian architecture in Old Salem over three decades. His most notable work is the Single Brothers' House, built in the fachwerk (or half-timbered) style in 1769.
