The William C. Mooney House, also known as the Mooney Mansion, is located at 122 North Paul Street in Woodsfield, Ohio. The house was placed on the National Register on 1982/03/15.[2]
The original house located on the property was a Queen Anne style residence, built with elements such as a corner tower. Such was the house when it became the home of William C. Mooney, a scion of Woodsfield's most prominent commercial family and vice-president of the Monroe Bank downtown. Beginning in 1912, Mooney arranged for a comprehensive remodelling project: gone were the ornaments, the tower, and the other Queen Anne components. In their place were built the current house's prominent facade with an Ionic-style portico, symmetrical five-bay front, and two-story-tall veranda. Mooney had a ballroom built on the third floor; here he threw Christmas parties and other events for many of the village's residents.[3]
