Summary
Significance: From 1900 to 1925 the state of West Virginia was a national leader in the production of natural gas, natural gasoline, and carbon black. These ruins are visible reminders of these three, related industries. They are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. They represent industries once vital to the economy of northwestern West Virginia and Ritchie County, and, in part, tell the story of the nearly-forgotton community of Hannahdale.
