John, David, and Jacob Rees House, also known as Lefevre Farm, is a historic home located at Bunker Hill, Berkeley County, West Virginia. It is an L-shaped, log, stone-and-brick dwelling on a stone foundation. It measures 45 feet wide by 70 feet deep, and was built in three sections, the oldest, three-bay log section dating to about 1760. The two-story, three-bay rubble stone section is in the Federal style and built in 1791. The front section was built about 1855 and is a five-bay-wide, 2+12-story building in the Greek Revival style. Also on the property is a small stone spring house and log barn.[2]
