Red House is a small community located in Putnam County in the U.S. state of West Virginia.

[edit] Geography
The area is a mix of hilly 20 to 100 acre (80,000 to 400,000 m²) farms (including cattle, horses, limited tobacco production, corn, etc.), and owners of small land plots who are commuters to the Charleston and Huntington metropolitan and surrounding areas.
Red House Hill's closest neighbors are Confidence, Hometown, Winfield, and Eleanor.
Due to the extremely windy mountain terrain, WV 34 is a very dangerous road for a 21 mile stretch from its junction with WV 62 to Kenna, where it ends at an onramp onto I-77.
[edit] Education
Public education in the area is served by George Washington Elementary School (locoated in Eleanor), George Washington Middle School (also located in Eleanor), and Poca High School (located in Poca).
[edit] Fire service
Fire service in the area is primarily provided by the Route 34 Volunteer Fire Department & 2nd due, Eleanor Volunteer Fire Department.
[edit] Churches
Three churches exist in Red House: the 'United Brethren' church and Riverside Baptist Church which are located in Red House (proper), and the 'Lone Oak Church of God', located on Red House Hill.
