President’s Home

Originally built for Charles W. Campbell, a prominent attorney and mayor of Huntington, is a 2 ½ story house, with a full façade porch with denticulated cornice. It has a wooden balustrade with engaged columns, and 4 gabled dormers. Its style is mainly Neoclassical, with a Greek Revival accent because of its full façade porch. It has a semicircular plan extension on its right side, with many small windows, framed by a surrounding entablature with Doric pilasters. The porch covers the main entrance, with an elliptical fanlight and sidelights. Above the doorway, there is a little balcony with a door like a Palladian window, with two sidelights. Above the porch, a roof line balustrade gives protection to a terrace. The roof is side gabled and has four gabled dormers. Windows are rectangular with double hung sashes. The porch’s entablature and the column’s Doric capitals are simple, with less elaborated details than other early neoclassical houses.
