James Wylie House - White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

James Wylie was on of the early pioneers of Greenbrier County. He purchased 107 acres from James and Sarah Erwin in 1819. At the center of the 107 acres, James would build this 2½-story house, which was completed between 1819 and 1825. Also located behind the house is a two-story log structure, which dates back to the early 1800’s.

James Wylie died in 1837 and the property was purchased by D.H. Stalnaker, who retained the property until his death. In 1906 Daniel O’Connel purchased the property and subsequently sold much of the property to the Federal Government. Over the years the house fell into disrepair due to neglect and vandalism, and in 1978 Robert J. Hanna bought the property but almost immediately lost it due to bankruptcy proceedings. The property sat unattended until 1988 when it was purchased by Joseph and Cheryl Griffith, who restored the home and opened a bed and breakfast inn.

Today, the James Wylie House sits on 1.5 acres on the east side of White Sulphur Springs and is maintained as a fine bed and Breakfast.
