Spanish Colonial Revival

The Spanish Colonial Revival house was designed by Alex Mahood and built in 1924 for W.A. Bodell, owner of West Virginia Heating and Plumbing Company. This business served a three state area. Bodell was also president of Acme Motor Company. Perhaps one of Bluefield’s most accomplished Mediterranean-inspired mansions, the blond brick exterior is complemented with the original red tile roof. A particularly handsome loggia centers the facade, through the Ionic capital of its single column. This grand home is very much a part of the Bluefield Country Club Hill Historic District, with a number of homes designed by the prominent Bluefield architect.
