Company Store, Berwind, WV
A postcard view shows the company store of the New River and Pocahontas Consolidated Coal Company in Berwind, WV. The store architecture was unique with only several like it ever constructed. The only remaining example is in Whipple, WV but in a sorry condition. N.R. & P. was a subsidiary of the Berwind White Mining Company, which was also the second operator of Kaymoor in the New River Gorge. If you look closely at the town view, you can see the company store in the background peeking over company houses next to the office building.
