This house, built in 1824, is the oldest building in the community of Hansford. The house was once part of a large working farm owned by Felix Hansford. Hansford served as president of the Giles, Fayette and Kanawha Turnpike Company and located his house on the James and Kanawha River Turnpike, the same year that it was completed.  

This Federal style brick house is L-shaped and two stories in height. It is constructed of bricks which were fired on the property from materials harvested along Paint Creek. The original doors still have an iron drop bar and English-made box locks, marked with the British coat-of-arms.  This building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984
