Located in Whipple, West Virginia, this historic company store was built around 1900 as a two-story frame octagon with Romanesque Revival detailing. The building sits on a coursed stone foundation and features a prominent arched entrance opening characteristic of its architectural style. Constructed to serve the needs of the mining community, it operated as a company store until the closure of the New River Company mine in August 1957, though retail activities continued within its walls into the 1980s. The structure was recognized for its historical significance when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
