Wyco Church, a historic Baptist church near Mullens in Wyoming County, West Virginia, was built in 1917 as a community house of worship for coal miners and their families at the Wyco coal town. Constructed by carpenters employed by coal baron Major W.T. Tam, the structure exemplifies Late Gothic Revival design through its lancet windows and recessed entrance. The rectangular frame building sits on a cut sandstone foundation and is clad in wood clapboard, topped by a front gable roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
