La Vale Tollgate House
La Vale Tollgate House, Historic tollhouse in La Vale, United States.
The La Vale Tollgate House features a seven-sided brick structure with a one-story Tuscan-columned porch extending around five sides of the building.
Built between 1835 and 1836, this tollhouse marked the first toll collection point along the National Road, a federal infrastructure project connecting eastern states.
The building represents early American transportation development, showcasing the transition from free passage to structured road maintenance through toll collection systems.
