The Craik-Patton House

---

The Craik-Patton House, located in Charleston, West Virginia, stands as one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the region. Built in 1834, it was home to two distinguished families, Rev. James Craik, grandson of George Washington’s personal physician, and later George Smith Patton, a prominent businessman and Confederate officer.

The West Virginia Society of The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America is proud to own and maintain the Craik-Patton House as part of our ongoing commitment to historic preservation and education. Through careful restoration, public tours, and community events, the Dames ensure that this historic landmark remains a living reflection of early American life and craftsmanship.

Visitors are invited to experience the home’s beautifully furnished rooms, explore the museum collections, and learn about the families who helped shape West Virginia’s history. Learn more about the Craik-Patton House by clicking here.
