William Post Mansion
William Post Mansion, Neoclassical mansion in Buckhannon, West Virginia, United States.
The William Post Mansion features a two-and-a-half-story brick structure with a three-story stone tower and a portico supported by Doric columns.
Built in the 1860s as an Italianate residence, the mansion underwent extensive renovations in 1891 under architect Draper Hughes to transform into a Neoclassical design.
The mansion represents the architectural evolution from Italianate to Neoclassical styles, reflecting the changing preferences of wealthy West Virginia residents in the late 1800s.
The property spans 5.3 acres and includes multiple outbuildings from its dairy operation period, including a corn crib, hay barn, and storage facilities.
The mansion combines a castellated three-story tower with classical elements, creating an architectural composition that stands apart in Upshur County.
