Webb-Coleman House, Historic residence in Chappells, Saluda County, United States.
Webb-Coleman House is a 2+1⁄2-story, five-bay Federal farmhouse built between 1800 and 1825 near Chappells. It has a gable roof and weatherboard sheathing. A one-story frame wing was added in the mid-19th century, and in 1915 a one-story, gable-roofed frame ell and shed-roofed porch were added.
Built in the early 1800s as a residence, the structure served as Christian's Post Office from 1833 to 1844, making it an important hub for the developing local settlement. This role connected the property to the region's early growth and communication network.
The property preserves several period outbuildings such as a cotton house, garage, and tenant house that show how families and workers lived together on a rural estate. These structures reveal the everyday practices of farming and household management in early America.
The house stands off a rural road near Chappells in Saluda County; the grounds hold the main house plus a cotton house, garage, tenant house and a 1930s dollhouse. The property is a private residence listed on the National Register, so visitors should view it from the road rather than expect interior tours.
The property also holds a dollhouse built in the early 1930s, recorded alongside the cotton house, garage and tenant house as contributing buildings when the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
