Haphazard

Haphazard is a residence situated on Pleasant Valley Road that features a prominent Greek Revival portico with columns facing the Ohio River. The house blends Federal-style interior elements with later classical exterior additions.

The land was granted to George Mason, a signer of the United States Constitution, through a survey in 1787. The building itself was constructed and modified across different periods to reflect changing architectural tastes.

The property reflects the architectural preferences of early 19th century American society through its Federal style interior and Greek Revival exterior modifications.

The house sits along a quiet country road with views toward the river and can be viewed from the roadside. The location is easily accessible if you are exploring the area by car.

The name comes from the unpredictable water movements and eddies in the Ohio River that were particularly strong at this location. This choice reflects how early settlers understood and named features in their landscape.
