The Ruffner

The Ruffner Welcome to The Ruffner! Where History Meets Hospitality Welcome to The Ruffner, a stunning Colonial Revival and Georgian architectural gem built circa 1929.

Designed by the renowned architect Walter F. Martens—who also crafted the West Virginia Governor's Mansion—this historic home is a proud part of the East End Historic District. Constructed for Mrs. Myrtle Wood Hall, the widow of Judge Cyrus Hall, The Ruffner showcases locally hewn stone expertly cut on-site, reflecting the craftsmanship of its era. The property, originally acquired from the Ruffne

r family, who once owned much of the surrounding farmland, is steeped in history. Throughout her residence, Mrs. Hall was actively engaged in various prominent organizations, frequently hosting dignitaries and events that nurtured community ties. With its legacy of hospitality, The Ruffner is an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. Most recently, the home was owned by the Frame Family of Charleston who dedicated themselves to preserving the home’s beauty and integrity, ensuring its rich history continues to flourish. As one of Martens's most significant residential designs, The Ruffner beautifully balances historic charm with modern comforts. Whether you’re here for a relaxing getaway or a special event, The Ruffner invites you to experience a unique blend of elegance and heritage. We look forward to sharing the story and charm of The Ruffner with you!
