Superintendent's House

Industry
5
Constructed in 1906 in Skelton, West Virginia, the superintendent's house was a three-story home for the mine superintendent, but evidence suggests mine owner Samuel Dixon built it more as a small mansion resembling the English countryside homes of his birthplace, Skelton, England, after which he also named the mining town. Its first floor contains a formal living room, dining room, kitchen, and the superintendent's office, while the second floor includes the master bedroom and nursery as well as reproductions of the company's doctor's office, barbershop, and company store post office.
