C.P. Jones House and Law Office

C.P. Jones House and Law Office, also known as the Jones-McCoy House, Almond-Strickler House, and James Bell House, is a historic home and law office located at Monterey, Highland County, Virginia. The original section of the house dates to about 1850. Originally the house was a two-story, five-bay, side-gabled, four-room log building on a stone foundation. Several rooms and porches were added between the middle of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century and has a Folk Victorian style. The law office was built about 1873, and is a one-story, front-gable, frame building. Also on the property are the contributing two-story, side-gabled garage/smoke house/woodshed, a one-story, front-gabled apple shed/cellar, a one-story brick spring house ruin. It was the home of American soldier and politician Charles Pinckney Jones (1845-1914).

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
