I paid another visit to the beautifully preserved Buxton and Landstreet company store in Thomas, West Virginia, built by the Davis Coal and Coke Company in 1900. The building's size and architecture reflect the wealth and pride of the company from the time when Thomas and surrounding towns were feeding coal to America's industrial growth. The building now houses an arts and crafts business. I even found some original unused coupon books of Buxton and Landstreet in a local antique shop.

I believe these photos show the foundation ruins of a tipple near the abandoned town of Coketon, WV outside the town of Thomas in Tucker County. The ruins are located at the end of a long sequence of deteriorating beehive coke ovens. There were hundreds of these ovens stretched along a Western Maryland Railway line. November 14, 2025.


GREAT HISTORY INFORMATION AND EXCELLENT PHOTOS AS USUAL. THANKS FOR SHARING DAVE.

A lady at church have this to me, the book was made in 1910 but the writings begin in 1911. Still in good shape for its age
