OVERVIEW
The Collins Building is an anchor property in Bramwell and fronts Main Street, the most trafficked thoroughfare in its historic district. Many visitors exploring the district walk past the building between the visitor center and the residential section, which includes many of its most elaborate structures. An estimated 50,000 visitors tour the district annually. Many are off-road adventurers traveling the adjacent trail systems, while others are attracted chiefly by Bramwells remarkable history and architecture. More than 400 vehicles travel past the building daily.
The property includes five street-level storefronts and four upstairs apartments. Approximately 3,900 square feet of private parking adjoins the building at the rear on River Road, while public parking is also available along Main Street and in a lot 130 feet away at the west end of the block.
The subject property is the long-time home of the United State Post Office of Bramwell, WV
Four of the five storefronts are occupiedby Blue Moon Antiques, Honeycomb Cafe, and the U.S. Post Office. A fourth storefront and a smaller fifth are partly occupied. Four store sections are approximately 21 feet wide by 65 feet deep and enclose approximately 1,365 square feet, though dimensions vary slightly from one to another. The fifth is 10 feet wide by 30 feet deep. It encloses approximately 300 square feet and has traditionally been entered from the adjacent store rather than the street. Each of the store sections is heated and cooled with a heat pump.
Each of the four upstairs apartments includes a foyer, living room, dining area, an eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms, and a full bath. All feature two entrances leading off a central lobby. The second entrance to each may have been designed for servants attending to guests. Dimensions vary, though each apartment is approximately 1,300 square feet. They open into a skylit central lobby accessed by stairs that lead to the street levels at the front and rear of the building. Each of the apartments is heated with electric and propane units.
HISTORY OF THE BUILDING
The Collins Building was built in 1922 by Jairus Collins, one of the most influential developers in the surrounding Pocahontas Coalfield. Born in 1859 and raised in the lignite-mining fields of Alabama, he moved to Bramwell in 1896 when he became general manager of the Louisville Coal & Coke Co., and in 1902, opened mines of his own in Mercer and nearby McDowell counties. He was a founding member of the Pocahontas Operators Association and was the brother of Justus Collins, who helped develop the New River Coalfield some 50 miles to the north.
In about 1900, he built a fanciful home on Brick Street, now admired by visitors for its hallmark square tower, and in 1910, he built a larger residence on South River Street. Its been said that Mrs. Collins grew frustrated with the many visitors she was forced to entertain and insisted that Mr. Collins build the apartments to accommodate their guests.
Alex B. Mahood
He commissioned architect Alex B. Mahood to design the two-story building. Known for his civic and commercial projects, Mahood studied at the cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris before returning to the U.S. He designed many notable buildings in West Virginia. His drawings, plans, and other records are in the Eastern Regional Coal Archives in the Craft Memorial Library in Bluefield.
The building was built of deep red brick in the commercial mode of the period, strongly defined by first-floor storefronts of plate glass that allowed for the display of merchandise. Slender vertical piers divide the front facade into five bays or storefronts. For much of its history, the building included only four bays, though a fifth of only one story was later added. Retractable awnings on the south-facing front helped cool interiors in summer and warm them in winter.
The upstairs apartments were designed for coal industry executives and affluent guests. Each apartment included two bedrooms, a living room, an eat-in kitchen, a full bathroom, and an entrance foyer. Each also included a secondary entrance, ostensibly for deliveries. With their exception, all rooms in the apartment enjoy plentiful sunlight cast through tall, double-hung windows.
The apartment entrances open into a nearly square central lobby, from which wide stairs descend to the street-level front and rear. A square central skylight enhances the rooms functionality and dimensions, nearly 16-by-19 feet.
The Collins building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 when the U.S. Department of the Interior established the district.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
In addition to forestland, the property had some fields during its active farm days. Those fields are slowly returning to forestland due to lack of recent use. Some work could restore them to active production.
FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
The forests predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Red Oak Group, poplar/Cucumber/Basswood, Sugar Maple/Soft Maple and a host of associate species.
Forest-wide, most stands are fully stocked, providing the next ownership with a great deal of flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered excellent with the forest containing an abundant amount of vigorously growing trees.
The timber component consists of various age classes ranging from 5 year to 120 year old stems, ranging in size of 4-28 dbh. This stand was thinned a few years ago as prudent forest management called for. This stand will eventually grow into higher-value sawtimber diameter classes over the coming decades. The forest represents a quality hardwood resource with a small pine component and will be reaching economic maturity in the next 60 years.
The Red Oak group, White Oak group, Yellow Poplar/Basswood and the Maples, dominate the species composition. The remaining species are spread across a diverse range of species including Hickory, Beech, White Ash, Black Walnut, Hemlock and other associates. There is a component of young White Pine scattered throughout the forest, mainly in the areas that were once cleared for fields.
The recently harvested forest contains abundant pole size timber and growing stock.
A few trees are well over 100 years old and classify as Heritage Trees. These amazing trees have withstood the test of time and lend an air of grace and permanency to the property.
The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth. The Emerald Ash Borer and the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid are present. The majority of the Ash and Hemlock trees are severely stressed and will die out over the next decade. There have been no forest fires in the recent memory.
The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns and cool green mosses. One could spend a lifetime getting to know this inviting environ.

SURROUNDING AREA
HATFIELD-MCCOY TRAILS
The Hatfield-McCoy Trails System (HMTS) is made up of over 600+ miles of trails and located in the rich mountains of southern West Virginia. The 600+ mile HMTS is second only to the 2000 mile long Paiute ATV Trail in Central Utah.
As one of the largest off-highway vehicle trail systems in the world, HMTS is open 365 days a year and offers something for every skill level. The trail system caters to ATV, UATV, and motorbikes (dirt bikes), but hikers, mountain bikers, and horse riders can also use the trails. The trail system is a multi-county project, including West Virginia counties Logan, Kanawha, Wyoming, McDowell, Mercer, Wayne, Lincoln, Mingo, and Boone.
The name of the trail system is derived from the names of two families, the Hatfields and McCoys, who famously feuded near the West Virginia and Kentucky border after the Civil War.
Law enforcement officers patrol the trail to assure compliance with safety regulations. Motorized users of the trail system must wear a DOT-approved helmet and are prohibited from doubling (having a passenger), unless their vehicle is designed for two people. These rules, and a host of others, have allowed the trail system to enjoy a quality safety record, despite an increase in ATV-related injuries around the country.
The surrounding area offers unlimited soft recreational activities including white water rafting, golfing, fishing, camping, hiking, bird watching and rock climbing. Snow skiing at the Winterplace Ski Resort is a hour away. The Beckley Airport is just 45 minutes away. Yeager Airport in Charleston WV, is an easy 2 hour drive.

The surrounding area is richly blessed with a wide array of cultural events that keep life interesting and satisfying.
Charleston is West Virginias state capitol and is an easy 2-hour drive. Charleston is West Virginias largest city with a population of some 50,000 and a metro area of 225,000. It is the center of government, commerce, culture and industry. There is a commercial airport with daily flights to most major hubs.
Beckley is a 45-minute drive, has a population of 34,000, and is the county seat of Raleigh County. All amenities are available in Beckley. Beckley is located at the intersection of I-77, I-64 and US 19 so easy access to Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Charleston and Cincinnati is just around the corner.
The world renowned 4-Star Greenbrier Resort, home of the PGA tour, is an hour drive. Several other area golf courses are available in the area. The New River Gorge recreation area offers white water rafting, rock climbing, ziplining, camping and horseback riding.

THE NEW RIVER GORGE NATIONAL PARK and PRESERVE
The 70,000-acre New River Gorge National Park and Preserve is a unit of the United States National Park Service (NPS) designed to protect and maintain the New River Gorge in southern West Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains. Established in 1978 as a national river, the NPS-protected area stretches for 53 miles from just downstream of Hinton to Hawks Nest State Park near Ansted. The park was officially named Americas 63rd national park, the U.S. governments highest form of protection, in December of 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic as part of a relief bill.
West Virginia is home to parts of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, a foot path that stretches more than 2,100 miles between Maine and Georgia; the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail, which cuts through 16 states for 4,900 miles; the Bluestone National Scenic River; and Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. Now, over 70,000 acres of land, bordering 53 miles of the gorge, has earned the governments protection.
The New River Gorge National Park and Preserve is rich in cultural and natural history, and offers an abundance of scenic and recreational opportunities. New River Gorge is home to some of the countrys best whitewater rafting, mainly from the Cunard put-in to the Fayette Station take-out, and is also one of the most popular climbing areas on the East Coast.
Home to the New River, which drops 750 feet over 66 miles, with its Class V rapids, has long drawn adventuresome rafters and kayakers to this whitewater area. The New River, which flows northward through low-cut canyons in the Appalachian Mountains, is actually one of the oldest rivers on the planet.
Rock climbing on the canyon walls, mountain biking and hiking on trails that flank the river, and wildlife viewingbald eagles, osprey, kingfishers, great blue herons, beavers, river otters, wild turkeys, brown bats, snakes, and black bearsare all popular activities within the park.
Begin your experience with a stop at Canyon Rim Visitor Center, which is situated on the edge of the gorge, for maps, current information, and chats with a park ranger. You can learn any pertinent safety protocols and visit the bookstore.
The New River Gorge Bridge is a work of structural art. Construction of the bridge began in 1974, and was completed in 1977. The Bridge spans 3,030 feet in length and is the third highest bridge in the U.S., at 876 ft. During Bridge Day, an annual one-day festival celebrating the construction of the Bridge, BASE jumpers launch off the 876-foot bridge and parachute down to the New River. New River Gorge is the only national park in the U.S. that permits this extreme activity.
President Jimmy Carter signed legislation establishing New River Gorge National River on November 10, 1978 (Pub.L. 95625). As stated in the legislation, the park was established as a unit of the national park system for the purpose of conserving and interpreting outstanding natural, scenic, and historic values and objects in and around the New River Gorge, and preserving as a free-flowing stream an important segment of the New River in West Virginia for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The New River Gorge National Park and Preserve Designation Act was incorporated into the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, changing the designation to New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.
