Description
Pocahontas Fuel Company Store and Office Buildings are a historic company store and an office building located at Jenkinjones, McDowell County, West Virginia. Both buildings were designed by architect Alex B. Mahood in the Neoclassical architecture style and built in 1917.
Born in Glynneath, Wales, Jenkin B. Jones (1841-1916), the namesake for the coal town of Jenkinjones, West Virginia, founded the Pocahontas Fuel Company after consolidating several coal mining operations in 1907.
The two buildings were constructed to be durable and also as a symbol of success within the community. They seem to have been deserted since 1941 and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

Poignant photo which is just one of the structures abandoned in McDowell County! The abandoned schools are another commentary on what happens when almost all the inhabitants move away and are not coming back.
