Kanawha, Historic house in Luray, United States.

The Classical Revival style residence features a hipped roof covered with green Spanish tiles and stands on a poured-concrete foundation in Luray.

Vernon H. Ford, a businessman and mayor of Luray, commissioned the construction of this substantial brick and tile-block dwelling in 1921.

The house displays refined architectural elements including a semicircular Corinthian order portico at the front and an enclosed Doric order rear portico.

The National Register of Historic Places listed property includes gate pillars from 1923, an outbuilding from 1920, and the Houn Spring from 1881.

The symmetrical structure incorporates large hipped dormers and a porte-cochère, which provides a covered entry point for vehicles approaching the residence.
