The Haugh House is a two-story, Greek-Revival lodge I-house residential building with a standing-seam gabled roof, wrapped in weatherboard, built about 1855. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 2011.[1]

It is in the center of the Cross Keys Battlefield in Rockingham County, Virginia. It has six-over-six windows with double-hung wooden sash, exposed floor and ceiling joists, a large center hall, original, interior chambered moldings and hand-planed partition walls. It originally included two limestone chimneys, but they were damaged during the Battle of Cross Keys, during the American Civil War and subsequently removed.[2]

John Haugh purchased 80 acres of land from his father-in-law in 1844, and began farming it. In about 1855, the house was added. A two-story rear ell was added in about 1915, and several outbuildings were added from the 1920s on.

The front portion of the building is a two-story, single-pile antebellum log I-house built in the vernacular Greek Revival style, and remains largely intact. It is three bays on a continuous cut limestone foundation. It has seven windows with six-over-six, double-hung wooden sashes, the bay has three two-over-two double-hung wooden sashes. This portion of the building suffered significant structural damage from heavy shelling during the Battle of Cross Keys.

The second portion of the house, a two-story, balloon-framed ell was constructed about 1915. Electricity was added in the late 1930s.
