Ananias Pitsenbarger Farm is a historic home and farm complex located at Franklin, Pendleton County, West Virginia. The original section of the house was built in 1845, and includes the 2 1/2-story section on the north end, with a later 1 1/2-story addition built about 1900. The house rests on a foundation of coursed rubble stone and is clad in weatherboard siding. It has a standing-seam metal gable roof. Also on the property are 15 log and frame contributing outbuildings. They include the cellar house, two hog pens, a stable, woodworking shop, carriage house, chicken coop, granary (photo 10), shed, privy constructed by the Works Progress Administration, spring house, three small hay barns, and a large double-crib log hay barn. Also on the property is the Pitsenbarger Cemetery.[2]
