John Herbert Quick House — also known as "Coolfont Manner House" — is a historic home located near Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia, US. It was built in 1913, and is a large -story mansion in the Colonial Revival style. The front facade is two stories and features a pediment, with a one-story rounded portico topped by a balustrade. It was built by author John Herbert Quick (1861-1925).[1]
In 1961 the house and about 1200 surrounding acres were acquired by businessman Sam Ashelman, who went on to establish a hotel called the Coolfont Resort in 1965. The property, including the house, was sold to a real estate developer in 2005. In 2017 the house sold to an unnamed bidder for $225,000 as part of an auction of the entire former resort property.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[3] [4] It was called Coolfont Manner House after the springs of the same name.[4]
