John Mathias House
John Mathias House, also known as the Mathias Homestead, is a historic home located at Mathias, Hardy County, West Virginia. It consists of two sections, one built about 1797 and the second about 1825. The two hewn-log sections are joined by a frame "dog trot," or what has been referred to locally as the "entry." The older section is two stories with a double porch and lightly taller than the newer section. It was home to the Mathias family for 165 years before being deeded to the Mathias Civic Center Association in 1974.[2]
