The Coal House

In a one‑of‑a‑kind architectural flex, The Coal House in Williamson was built in 1933 entirely of local coal masonry, 65 tons, no less. Now home to the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce, this structure is uniquely West Virginia and the heart of the region’s coal mining legacy. It’s also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, adding a layer of heritage prestige to its unique architecture.

A statue of a Native American stands in a circular stone fountain in front of the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce, housed in a black stone building next to a light-colored, multi-story structure.
