Valley View (Romney, West Virginia)

Valley View is a mid-19th-century Greek Revival residence and farm overlooking the South Branch Potomac River north of Romney, West Virginia. Valley View is on Depot Valley Road. The South Branch Valley Railroad adjacent to the farm is currently utilized by the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad.

The Valley View property was part of the South Branch Survey of the Northern Neck Proprietary, a large tract that belonged to Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. It was settled by the Collins family in 1749, and acquired by the Parsons family before 1772. The Valley View house was built by James Parsons Jr. in 1855. After the Civil War, Parsons' widow sold the farm to Charles Harmison. His wife Elizabeth Smith Harmison, inspired by her childhood Virginia home (Western View) and the scenic river views, named the farm Valley View. Following a series of owners, the property was purchased by the Mayhew family in 1979. Valley View's current proprietors, Robert and Kim Mayhew, have restored the historic residence and grounds.

The house at Valley View is a two-story brick Greek Revival-style structure with a rectangular architectural plan. The front entrance is covered by a small portico, topped with a pediment supported by wooden Doric columns. The rear of the house, with a two-story (double) wood porch stretching across it, faces the South Branch Potomac River valley and Mill Creek Mountain. Each of the original eight large rooms of the 1855 structure contains a fireplace framed by a wooden trabeated mantelpiece with classical elements. The original windows, wooden trim, and materials in the main section of the house are intact. In 2012, Valley View was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its locally significant architecture.
