Cabell Building

-A A +A
1906. Southwest side of Main St. between Water St. and Central Ave.
  • (West Virginia Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division)

Five two-bay units and a corbeled cornice define the facade of this long, two-story, brick building. A carved sandstone block announces that it was built by “The Cabell Inv't & Dev't Co.” A hardware store that occupies part of the premises evokes a pleasant image of bygone times with its wooden floor and period fittings.
