Templemoor

"Templemoor", also known as the Post-Crawford House, is a historic home located near Clarksburg approximately halfway between Romines Mills and Peeltree, in Harrison County, West Virginia.

It was the boyhood home of noted West Virginia author Melville Davisson Post (1869-1930) who was famous for mystery and fiction novels.

The imposing character of the house is due in part to the deep lawn fronting upon the entrance elevation and extending approximately 150 feet to the highway.

Alternating large (scroll) and small (rectangular) modern brackets embellish the eaves of the east-facing and north-facing gables.
