Totally Stunning Colonels Abandoned Manor House Forgotten in The Mountains of West Virginia

Only 50 some years later the house would be used as a field hospital during a few small civil war battles and skirmishes. It Supposedly was briefly used as a Union headquarters in 1864.

For nearly a century the house would run as a dairy farm until recently selling for around 3 million.
