Abell-Kilbourn House

The Abell-Kilbourne House in Martinsburg, West Virginia is associated with John N. Abell, a prominent Martinsburg businessman and Charles W. Kilbourn, a Martinsburg mill owner. The former president of the Old National Bank, Abell developed the area known as "Abell's Addition" after his retirement in 1886. At that time Abell lived at 506 West Burke Street. Description The house is a frame 2½ story Colonial Revival structure. The house's long axis is arranged perpendicular to the street, from which it is well set back at the top of a rise. The house has a hip roof, with a three-story tower on the right side, and is fronted by a broad porch that wraps around to either side. The tower houses the main stairs. The porch features low-key Eastlake detailing. Windows in the attic contain colored novelty glass. A unique feature in the pantry is a built-in refrigerator in the pantry. Other unusual features are the windows set in the floor of the second floor storage room, which allow light into the room from the porch ceiling below. The basement contains a cistern. History Abell bought the Winchester Street site in 1895 from D.W. Shaffer for $1,075 and completed the house the same year. Abell lived in the house until his death in 1905. His wife Nora lived there until 1910 when she sold the house to Thomas B. Underhill, who immediately sold it to E.F. Millard. Millard sold the house a year later to John W. Wilen. Wilen sold the house and adjoining lots on July 24, 1912, for $3,780 to J. M. Rothwell, who then sold the house and lots to Charles W. Kilbourn on May 23, 1918, for $8,500. Kilbourn died on November 28, 1937. In 1938, the house was sold to George Martin, who retained the house until 1987. A garage and barn, garage and office, and servants' residence are associated with the house. The Abell-Kilbourn House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The surrounding development was associated with the Martinsburg Mining, Manufacturing and Improvement Company, who provided land for the Interwoven Mills. An electric street railway, the Martinsburg Street Railway, ran on the eastern border of the MMM&I development; traveling on Raleigh Street. Charles Kilbourn owned the Interwoven Mill in Martinsburg. His father invented a knitting machine and started the Kilbourne Knitting Machine Company in 1899 at the Middlesex Mill in New Jersey. After a fire, Charles Kilbourn, who by then had inherited the operation of the company, relocated to Martinsburg. The Interwoven Mill was the largest manufacturing operation in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. References
Albert and Liberal Arts Halls

Albert and Liberal Arts Halls are a set of two historic buildings located on the campus of Davis & Elkins College at Elkins, Randolph County, West Virginia. The brick Georgian Revival style buildings were built between 1924 and 1926, and planned as a unit of two distinct and separate buildings connected by a graceful stone arcade. They were designed by noted Charleston architect Walter F. Martens. Originally each building was 3+1⁄2 stories, with gable roof and dormers, and slightly recessed 2+1⁄2-story wings. A fire at the Science Hall (now Albert Hall) in 1956, necessitated removal of the gable roof and a flat roof was installed. The buildings serve as educational offices and classrooms. Albert Hall is named for Charles E. Albert, Professor of Physics, who served as president from 1935 to 1939. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. References
Alberts Chapel

Alberts Chapel is an unusual octagonal Methodist church located near the settlement of Sand Ridge, West Virginia, United States. Built in the Carpenter Gothic-style, the simple, sparingly ornamented church rises to an octagonal cupola, with lancet windows and board-and-batten siding. The chapel was built in 1903 under the direction of Albert Poling by his uncle Charles Poling with materials provided by his brothers Asbury and Wesley. The church was named for Albert in recognition of his efforts. The chapel seats as many as 300, a surprising number for such an apparently small building. A possibly apocryphal account of the origins of the octagonal design suggests that the form was chosen "so that the devil couldn't corner you in it." Suffering from advanced deterioration the chapel was entirely rebuilt in 2004, with little of the original fabric remaining.

Alderson station

Alderson station is an Amtrak station in Alderson, West Virginia, served by the Cardinal. It is located at 1 C&O Plaza, and functions as a request stop. The station is a contributing property within the Alderson Historic District, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 12, 1993. The wood frame depot, originally built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1896, is typical of a standard station built on the C&O system between 1890 and 1914. It features board and batten walls, decorative brackets, fancy stick work on the gable ends and deep eaves. The railroad enlarged the structure in 1924. Amtrak began serving the community on April 29, 1979. Between December 4, 2001, and the second half of 2004, service to the station was suspended, partially due to painting that changed the station from white to orange. It was Amtrak's least used station in West Virginia in FY2022.

Alexander Wade House

The Alexander Wade House is a historic house at 256 Prairie Street in Morgantown, West Virginia. Built in 1860, it was the home of educator Alexander Wade (1832-1904) from 1872 until his death. Wade is credited with developing a system of grade promotional exams and graduations that was widely adopted in the late 19th century. The house was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1965. Description and history The Alexander Wade House is located south of downtown Morgantown in the city's Chancery Hill area, just east of the junction of Prairie Avenue and Wagner Road. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building, with a dormered mansard roof. Its main facade is three bays wide, with a single-story porch extending across the front, supported by paneled square columns. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels. The house was built in 1860 for Judge Edward Bunker. At that time, it had a more Greek Revival appearance, with a gabled roof; the mansard roof was added in 1911, when the building was divided into apartments. The house was purchased in 1872 by Alexander Wade, an educator native to Maryland. As the superintendent of Monongalia County schools, Wade experimented with a system of grading and promotional examinations that successfully normalized the progress of children through rural schools. Wade documented his ideas and presented them to the National Education Association in 1879, where they met with approval and were eventually widely adopted by school systems nationwide. Wade was also an early advocate favoring adoption of the metric system in the United States.

Allegheny Wildlife Management Area

The Allegheny Wildlife Management Area is located on 6,202 acres (25.1 km2) on two separate tracts of mixed oak-hickory woodlands in western Mineral County along the Allegheny Front. The large land tract of 5,034 acres (2,037.2 ha) is accessible via Pinnacle Road (County Route 4) and Pine Swamp Road (County Route 220/2) four miles (6 km) southwest of Keyser. The smaller tract of 1,168 acres (4.7 km2) is accessed by West Virginia Route 46 and Barnum Road (County Route 46/3) about 6 miles (10 km) north from Elk Garden. The Barnum Road tract consists of old farm fields along the river and the ridgetop, connected by steep slopes. Hunting and fishing Hunting opportunities include bear, deer, grouse, squirrel and wild turkey. Trapping for fur can include bobcat, gray and red foxes and raccoon. Fishing in the North Branch of the Potomac River can produce smallmouth bass, panfish and trout. Camping is not permitted in the WMA. Invasive species The air-breathing northern snakehead fish have recently reported in the lower Potomac River. Although no snakeheads have been detected in West Virginia, this invasive species from northern China had been declared a threat to the state's aquatic ecosystem. Federal law prohibits transport of snakeheads across state lines. Anyone who catches this fish when visiting the Allegheny WMA should carefully note the catch location, kill the fish by cutting or bleeding, and contact a WVDNR district biologist. The snakehead should not be released back into the Potomac River or any tributary.

The Greenbrier

The Greenbrier est un complexe hôtelier cinq étoiles de White Sulphur Springs, dans le comté de Greenbrier en Virginie-Occidentale (États-Unis). Il est célèbre pour abriter un abri antiatomique destiné à l'accueil du gouvernement des États-Unis en cas d'attaque nucléaire. Histoire En 1957, sous la présidence d'Eisenhower aux États-Unis, le gouvernement décida de développer le « Project Greek Island (en) » connu aussi sous le nom de « Project X ou Project Casper » dans le cadre d'un plan de continuité des opérations, face au risque grandissant de guerre nucléaire. Ce projet visait à construire un immense bunker souterrain proche de Washington afin que les membres du Sénat et de la Chambre des représentants puissent s'y réfugier en cas de conflit (notamment en cas d'attaques nucléaires). Les travaux commencent en 1958. Le Greenbrier Golf Resort est un hôtel situé à 400 km au sud-ouest de Washington DC, à White Sulphur Spring dans l'État de Virginie. Le gouvernement proposa à l'hôtel de financer la construction de son aile ouest (Virginia West Wing) à condition d'implanter dans ses souterrains l'immense bunker. Le bunker fut terminé en 1962, en pleine crise des missiles. Il peut accueillir plus de 1 100 personnes et a une surface de plus de 10 000 m2. Véritable ville souterraine à 720 pieds (219 mètres) sous la terre, il se compose de centres de congrès (afin de pouvoir tenir des réunions de crises en temps de guerre), 18 dortoirs, trois réservoirs de 95 000 litres d'eau, une salle d'opération avec 12 lits d'hôpitaux, une clinique dentaire, une pharmacie contenant les médicaments d'ordonnance nécessaires à tous les membres du gouvernement, une salle à rayons X, une salle de décontamination radioactive ainsi que des salles de communications, une mini-centrale électrique constituant une source d'énergie autonome (avec des réservoirs de 204 000 litres de mazout). Les rations accumulées permettraient d'y vivre 30 ans. Il était bien fourni en mets délicats, par exemple en champagne et en steaks. Les employés chargés de l'entretien y travaillaient sous le couvert de la responsabilité de l'équipement audiovisuel des salles de conférences de l'hôtel. Les salles de réunions du bunker étaient parfois louées sans que leurs occupants ne sachent qu'ils étaient dans un tel endroit. La construction de ce bunker coûta au gouvernement plus de 14 millions de dollars. Ce ne fut qu'en 1992 que le Washington Post révéla son existence. À partir de 1994, les visiteurs purent y accéder, jusqu'en 2004, année qui marqua la rénovation des lieux. On transforma alors les lieux en entrepôt documentaire, les conditions environnementales présentes se prêtant à leur conservation. Une salle d'exposition retraçant l'histoire des lieux a été conservée et des visites guidées y sont organisées.
