Rudolph's Carpenter Shop

-A A +A
Late 19th century. Northwest side of Mill Creek Rd. (Randolph County 46) at the southeast entrance to the village
  • Rudolph's Carpenter Shop (State Historic Preservation Office, West Virginia Division of Culture and History)

The rough board-and-batten walls of this oneand-one-half-story, gable-roofed house, which may be Helvetia's earliest framed structure, have never been stained or painted. Cabinetmaker Rudolph Zumbach, who was born here, was its best-known occupant. His “shop” is a rear addition that connects the house to an early barn.
