Text Box: HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

 

The Morris Harvey House was built by R. H. Dickinson and completed in 1902 for Morris Harvey, one of Fayette County’s most outstanding citizens. Harvey, a Confederate Veteran, was a famous banker, churchman, and sheriff of Fayette County. He was president of the continental Divide Gold and Silver Company is best remembered for generous contributions to establishment of Morris Harvey College in Charleston, West Virginia. The failing Barboursville College changed its name to Morris Harvey College in gratitude for his financial support. It has maintained an excellent reputation as a fine arts college to this day. In 1989, it was incorporated as the Morris Harvey College of Fine Arts within the University of Charleston. Morris Harvey and his wife Rosa lived in this house and continued to support the town, Fayette County, and the state until their death.
