Davis Cottage Historic Structure in Beckley Raleigh County
The Davis cottage in Beckley Raleigh County is a quaint historic building. It served as army quarters during the Civil War for Gen. R. 8 Hayes and Maj. William McKinley, later U.S. presidents. Mrs. Martha Davis and her daughter Alice still live there and have refused several purchase offers. The army forced the family to move out temporarily, and an old table used by them to write orders remains in the home.
