The Looney House is a historic residence near Ashville, Alabama. The house was built in 1818 by Henry Looney and his father John. Henry Looney was a veteran of the War of 1812 and fought at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend and Fort Strother under the command of Andrew Jackson. The house was built near the creek 7 miles (11 km) from the city of Ashville. In 1820, it was moved further up the hill along the creek as a result of the large amount of mosquitoes in the area during the summer time being an unbearable annoyance to the family. Jane Rutherford, daughter of John and Peggy Ash (for whom Ashville was named), married Henry Looney in 1838.
