About this property

C.P. Jones House and Law Office is a historic home and law office located at Monterey, Highland County, Virginia. The original section of the house dates to about 1850 and may be the oldest building house in Monterey still standing. It may have been used as a tavern and as a courtroom before the county courthouse was built. Originally the house was a two-story, four-room log building on a stone foundation. Several rooms and porches were added between the middle of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century which gave it a Folk Victorian style. The law office was built about 1873, and is a one-story frame building. Also on the property are the two-story garage/smoke house/woodshed, a one-story apple shed/cellar, and a one-story brick spring house ruin. It was the home of the American lawyer and politician Charles Pinckney Jones (1845–1914). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
