Description:

The Mansion House is an L-shaped, two-story, gable-roofed brick dwelling located on a portion of the old Staunton to Parkersburg Turnpike in the unincorporated town of McDowell, Virginia. This Greek Revival-style building was constructed in 1851 as the private home of George Washington Hull, Highland County’s representative to the Virginia State Convention of 1861. One of three large homes built by county officials who were members of the Peter Hull family, the house served as a Civil War hospital in the time period surrounding the Battle of McDowell on May 8, 1862. In 1886, the building was sold to James and Mary Bradshaw, who
operated it as a hotel until 1930 when it once more became a private residence.
