Woodville, also known as the Neville House or John Neville House, is a house which is located on Washington Pike (PA 50) south of Heidelberg, Pennsylvania.[5] It is significant for its association with John Neville, a tax collector whose other house was burned in the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. The oldest portion of the house dates to 1775, with a main section built a decade later.
It is one of the oldest houses in Allegheny County, preserved and restored to its original condition.
For those reasons, it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983.[4][5] After being significantly renovated by an early 19th-century resident, it remained a private house until 1975. Today it is a historic house museum.
