Peter Burr House, Colonial building in Bardane, United States.
The eight-room wooden structure features hand-riven clapboard exterior walls, log beams, brick infill, and wrought iron nails throughout its two-story configuration.
Peter Burr, a farmer from Connecticut, constructed this residence in 1751, making it the oldest standing wood frame structure in the state of West Virginia.
The construction methods of the house reflect the techniques used in New England family residences, with architectural elements traceable to Elizabethan period English designs.
The Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission maintains the property as a living history farm, allowing visitors to experience colonial-era architecture firsthand.
The building contains an original hall-and-parlor arrangement where the parlor sits at the front door, with an 18th-century log kitchen integrated in 1813.
