Randolph Mansion

Ca. 1795 by Captain James R. Baird. The home originally was a two over two Federal style home. In 1827, Mr. Richard Randolph and family (Dorothy and daughter Mariah) of Virginia purchased the home. In 1828. Mr. Randolph passed away, and left the home for his wife, Dorothy Randolph, who passed away in 1851 and left the home to her daughter, Maria J. Randolph. Miss Maria brought the house up to its present standing. During this renovation, the home was remodeled to face Main Street. The Clippinger’s are preserving the home and taking great care in restoring the Randolph Mansion. However, after all these years one piece of history has not been altered, the high carriage drive. It has never been graded, even when the sidewalk was paved. The home has eleven fireplaces, and the columns are of the Doric style. The original front parlors have crown molding of eighteen inches in depth, two matching marble mantles imported from Italy, and original horsehair plaster. All murals have been hand painted by owner and artist Joanna Clippinger.
