The MacFarland-Hubbard House, located at 1310 Kanawha Boulevard, was built in 1836 by Norris Whitteker for Isaac Noyes. This house is an example of Greek Revival architecture. It was first lived in by Henry and Julia MacFarland and later by the Ruby, Crowley, and Hubbard families. During the Battle of Charleston in September 1862, the house was hit by a cannonball and was used as a hospital for federal troops for a time. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 1999, the West Virginia Humanities Council bought the house to use as its headquarters. Both the house and the nearby carriage house have been restored.
