Napier in Braxton County, West Virginia — The American South (Appalachia)
Cunningham House
The original building was a two-pen structure, two stories high, with a breezeway in the middle, a stone chimney at each end, and hand-hewn stone fireplaces. This construction suggests that the house was originally of the "dogtrot" type, which was more common in the Deep South.
Modifications over the years have included clapboard siding, a porch, and a frame addition on the back of the house.
