Happening Around Town

New beginnings are always exciting! What better way to usher in 2020 than planning a beautiful wedding, enjoying the Harlem Globetrotters, taking the kids to a Monster Truck Jam, or seeing a local production of “The Sound of Music”.

Floralee Hark Cohen Cinema, downstairs below Taylor Books, the WV International Film Festival will be presenting films with ties to West Virginia. This will take place the first two Wednesdays of the month.

Charleston has loads of local talent and entertainment. Every week the Bridge Road Bistro and Bluegrass Kitchen have regular performances by amazing musicians and vocalists. The West Virginia Symphony Orchestra under the direction of the new maestro, Lawrence Loh, performs “Music for a Cold Winter’s Night” at the Clay Center this month.

At the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center (CC&CC), more than 100 top wedding professionals will be debuting the latest trends at the 16th Annual Bridal Expo. “Brides-to-be” from far and wide will be coming to town to get their “Big Day” underway and to win fabulous door prizes. Also coming to the CC&CC in January are the “WV Hunting & Fishing Show”, the “Monster Jam” truck show, AND the world famous “Harlem Globetrotters”.

The Clay Center is also the site for an extended art exhibit of the paintings from the Anne & Harvey Shreve Estate. A beautiful quilt exhibit can be seen at the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse and the WV Culture Center is home to the West Virginia Juried Exhibition.

This exhibit showcases 131 pieces of art in several forms of media.

“West Virginia Wednesdays” are a new addition to town. At the

As winter sets in for a couple more months, there are plenty of reasons to get out of the house and enjoy the season. Terrific restaurants, loads of entertainment, and so much more will be sure to make the long, dark days of January lots of fun!

Looking Back

By: M. Lynne Squires

...at the Kanawha County Courthouse

When Charleston was named the permanent state capital, the sprawling Kanawha County Courthouse answered the needs of an explosion in county growth. Built in 1892 at the cost of $153,000, the courthouse faced Charleston City Hall on Court Street between Virginia Street and Kanawha Street (now Kanawha Boulevard).

The first portion of the courthouse was designed by the firm of Shieff and Highnam of Richmond, Virginia, at the height of the Neo-Romanesque Revival in the United States made famous by the great American architect Henry Hobson Richardson. Constructed of rock-faced masonry, it boasted two significant entrances, one on Court Street and the other facing the Kanawha River. Adjacent to the courthouse was the county jail, standing to the north and facing Virginia Street.

The Kanawha County Courthouse has been the seat of the county government since being built in 1892. The site has been the location of the two previous courthouses since the formation of Kanawha County in 1789. Before their construction, all court proceedings were held in the home William Clendenin of Fort Lee, the forerunner to Charleston, until 1796. In 1797, the county purchased a lot at the present location and constructed a one-story log building. In 1817, a brick, two-story, 50 feet square building was built. The building proved inadequate in the late 19th century and was torn down on April 7, 1888. By 1892 the new courthouse was completed.

In 1917, a significant addition extended the building to Kanawha Street. H. Rus Warne, a widely known architect in West Virginia during the first half of the 20th century, designed the Kanawha Street addition. He was the senior partner in the firm of Warne, Tucker, and Patteson.

In 1924, a third addition was constructed along Virginia Squires’ book Looking Back at Charleston is a compilation of 24 essays and color photos from her column and is available on Amazon.

Visit www.mlynne.com.

Street, where today, the main entrance stands. The County Commissioners once again chose the architectural firm led by H. Rus Warne to design the 1924 addition. By that time, Warne had successfully created Charleston City Hall in 1922 and other prominent Charleston buildings. A younger partner in the firm, Randolph L. Patteson, was also instrumental in the design of the Virginia Street façade.

The three sections of the courthouse are unified by architectural styles utilizing the same materials. The windows are the façade of weathered, locally quarried stone hides the locations of seams and other structural alterations. A statue topped one of the three towers for many years before being removed in the 1930s. Its location remains unknown.

Interior spaces have been altered during renovations over the years. The ornate cast iron loggia of the original sections of the first floor was enclosed during remodeling work in the 1920s. The cornerstones of all three units of the Kanawha County Courthouse are inscribed under Masonic emblems. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The Kanawha County Judicial Annex, constructed between 1980-1982, is a 7-story low-rise building across Virginia Street from the Courthouse. The modern structure stands in stark contrast to the historic courthouse.

The Kanawha County Courthouse has served as the backdrop to many events. Holiday parades pass before Virginia Street entrance. Property is actioned on the steps. Newlyweds have exited the doors to begin their new lives. Over 127 years later, the massive structure still serves the county residents who pass through the hallways daily.

The Y.W.C.A. is Looking Back’s next stop.

Montgomery County, MD

The drive through Laytonsville is fantastic, offering settings like this.

Driving five hours Northeast of Charleston, West Virginia, brings you to Montgomery County, Maryland. Montgomery County is made up of several towns including Rockville, Bethesda, Wheaton, Gaithersburg, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, and Germantown. It is minutes from Washington, DC, too. With an impressive agritourism market and metropolitan gems all around, you’ll see why Montgomery County should be on your road trip radar.

The craft beer scene is strong in Montgomery County. True Respite Brewing Company is one of the breweries there with interesting beers; Ben Outta Ten, a delicious Maple Peanut Butter Hefeweizen, and Week-Away Hazy IPA. Two other breweries to try are Saints Row Brewing and Elder Pine Brewing & Blending.

WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK Brew Belly Kitchen & Sudhause is a casual, repurposed space with 24 locally-focused tap beers and creative cheesesteaks. Try the WhizWit, with Velveeta and caramelized onions or the more adventurous Seoul Style, with mushrooms, Gruyere, pickles, and Gochujang mayo. Besides cheesesteaks, Brew Belly is known for Jumbo Soft Pretzels and an array of Poutine baskets, such as Boardwalk Poutine with Old Bay, crabmeat, and cream cheese sauce.

Coastal Flats (Gaithersburg) is great for gourmet appetizers like deviled eggs and blue crab & shrimp fritters, or fish tacos, and crab cakes.

Dogfish Head Alehouse is another tasty choice in Montgomery County with ever-changing burgers of the week, alehouse ribs, hearty sandwiches, and outrageously delicious Mac and cheese.
