White House Farm, National Register of Historic Places farm in Jefferson County, West Virginia, US
The three-story stone farmhouse stands with a stone barn, springhouse, wooden curing shed, and stretches across 60 acres of pasture and woods.
Dr. John McCormick, a Scots-Irish immigrant, purchased 395 acres from German developer Jost Hite in 1740 and constructed the farmhouse by 1742.
George Washington surveyed this land in 1752 during his early career, marking the property's connection to American founding history.
The property includes the oldest standing stone barn in West Virginia, located approximately six miles from Charles Town.
The estate transformed from a horse breeding operation to an inn, then to White House Tavern, and later became a dairy farm until 1950.
