Mannington Railroad Depot

2/24/2011

 
Mannington, Marion County

May 2019 Update: The depot is almost completed, and Nativibes continues to rent it as an art gallery and studio. The major items to be rehabilitated are the roof and some exterior brickwork. 

2017 Update:
No updates have been made available to PAWV in the past six months. 

As of the last update provided to PAWV in January 2017, the Mannington Railroad Depot has served as an art gallery, called Nativibes, for a local artist since February 2016.  The artist volunteered his time to complete the building’s interior renovation. The artist also utilizes the depot to conduct youth art classes and host art shows and other activities as a part of broader community events.

There are plans to repair the building’s foundation and the exterior stone keystones above an entryway.

2011: The Mannington Railroad Depot (Marion County) began operations in 1852 serving as a link to the Ohio River and the western frontier, as well as providing strategic advantage during the Civil War. Built in 1906, the present structure is a one story hip roof, brick building with stone detailing. The depot, typical of that style on the line, is in danger of development that will not preserve its special historic features. The City of Mannington and Mannington Main Street, are working with at least nine organizations interested in providing fund-raising efforts and “sweat equity” to purchase the building for adaptive reuse as a community center and snack bar along the Mannington Rail Trail. ​
