Vance Farmhouse, Historic farmhouse in Morgantown, United States.

The brick dwelling consists of a two-story main section with a wrap-around porch and two additional sections built before 1900 and 1930s.

Built in 1854 by Addison Vance on 110 acres, the farmhouse was purchased by West Virginia University in 1899 to serve as an experimental farm.

Between 1915 and 1957, the farmhouse served as residence for the deans of the College of Agriculture at West Virginia University.

The farmhouse currently functions as the headquarters of West Virginia University Press, located at the university campus in Morgantown.

During the 1976 United States Bicentennial celebrations, the building displayed exhibits about Monongalia County history and became known as Bicentennial House.
