Mavis Manor is a Queen Anne style, Victorian manor house located in Flat Top, West Virginia in Mercer County on 33 acres (13 ha) of Flat Top Mountain.

Mavis Manor was constructed of most Chestnut and Oak timbered in nearby Summers County, milled in Hinton, West Virginia then transported by horse-drawn wagon via the Grayson-Raleigh-Wythe turnpike.

The inspiration for the manor came after Miss Sue Tickle visited Bramwell, West Virginia.

She operated a millinery shop at Dunns and there she drew her plans for their home which they built at Flat Top containing twelve rooms with two long halls extending the length of the house and containing ten closets and seven fireplaces.

The house was built in approximately 1897 and was designed to keep overnight patients who traveled long distance for treatment.

Companies A, E, and K, under Major Comly, with a howitzer, marched to Packs Ferry to hold it, build boats, and the like.

Our log-book would run about this way: Flat Top Mountain, twenty miles south of Raleigh, is the boundary line between America and Dixie—between western Virginia, either loyal or subdued, and western Virginia, rebellious and unconquered.

We were outside of the tent discussing lightning—the rapidity of sound, etc., etc., Avery and Dr. McCurdy both facing me, Dr. Joe about a rod off, when there came a flash and shock and roar.

In addition to permaculture classes are available on beekeeping, gardening techniques and animal husbandry with a focus on creating sustainable food supplies.
