Located
in Historic Guyandotte, construction on this home started prior to
the Civil War and was finished sometime around 1865
to 1870. It was built by A.J. Roseberry, who took
over the defunct woolen mills from the Buffingtons
after the war. A.J. Roseberry was the son of a
Revolutionary War veteran, and had a daughter who
married John William Wiatt, a descendant of Sir
Francis Wiatt, governor of the Jamestown Colony.
Two of the Roseberry children are rumored to have
died in the home due to a flu epidemic. In 1887, J.E. Robertson took possession of the
home, followed by the William Dusenberry family in
1907. It is the oldest still-standing
brick structure from the time period.
The current owner has reported a
plethora of activity in the home. Children have
been heard playing, laughing, and even crying. The sounds of
heavy boots trudging along the porch and in the house, and
things physically flying off shelves have also been reported. An EVP caught in the home clearly
documents a male voice saying "Hey!"
