Malden Historic District, 4001 Malden Drive (House), Malden, Kanawha County, WV

Significance: Built in 1898, this house remains in the ownership of the daughter of the first owner. It has been changed relatively little and, due to extremely careful maintenance, remains an outstanding example of the larger two-story frame house of the late nineteenth century in Malden. Its one-story front porch exhibits, in its use of decorative columns and brackets, the affinity for the decorative crafts common to the period. The original front door, still in excellent condition, reflects the same predilection. The house makes a major contribution to the character of the Malden Historic District.
