Situated on a hill with commanding views of Peak’s Knob Mountain and the surrounding rolling countryside of Pulaski County, this dignified Colonial Revival house was built in 1909 for Nathaniel Burwell Harvey. Almost equally distant from the towns of Dublin and Pulaski, the house was closest to the railroad station of Wurno, from where the Norfolk & Western Railroad built a spur track into the Harvey property to accommodate transport of Harvey’s cattle, sheep and prize-winning Clydesdale work horses. The breeding of these draft horses made Harvey a prominent and influential man in Southwest Virginia. Harvey employed James D. Chapman, an itinerant artisan, to embellish the entire interior with elaborate stenciled decoration. Although there are a significant number of early 20th century houses in the county, the Harvey House was the only example with interior decorative painting.  This rare treatment was lost when the Nathaniel Burwell Harvey House was demolished in 1996.
