Aspen Hill was built about 1840 near Charles Town, West Virginia by James G. Hurst, a middle-tier farmer and landowner who sought to build a residence befitting his increasing status. The house occupies a middle ground between the grand mansions of the landed gentry and the more humble dwellings of more modest farmers. The house lacks some of the details and craftsmanship present in more substantial houses. citation|title=PDFlink| [http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/jefferson/80004024.pdf National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Aspen Hill] |5.68 KB|date=Octoner 27, 1979 |author=James E.
