Sunrise (Charleston, West Virginia)

Sunrise, also known as MacCorkle Mansion, is a historic home located at Charleston, West Virginia.

Its gabled roof is dotted with dormers and chimneys and surmounts an intricate, but wide, cornice which gives the illusion that the house is smaller than it actually is.

The Georgian structure rests on a bluff overlooking the Kanawha River, and from the northern portico one can see nearly the entire city of Charleston.

The north side features four magnificent Doric, or neo-classic, columns which support the cornice and ashlar-finished pediment.
