McDowell County Courthouse (West Virginia)
The McDowell County Courthouse in Welch, West Virginia was built in two phases. The first part was built in 1893-34 in the Romanesque Revival style. A 1909 addition was built to complement the original building. The architect was Frank Pierce Milburn, a prolific designer of courthouses in the southern states. Milburn reported that the original brick design had been built in stone, and that the jail had been turned around, but stated that "the contractors had done a good job of which they could justly be proud."
==History==
On August 1, 1921, detectives from the Baldwin felts agency assassinated Matewan Police Chief Sid Hatfield on the courthouse steps.〔http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view2.aspx?FilmNumber=1952971&ImageNumber=1978〕 At that time, Hatfield was a major labor leader within the coalfields of West Virginia. His association with the United Mine Workers and Mary Harris 'Mother' Jones were nationally known.〔http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/mcdowell/79003256.pdf〕 This act set the confrontational tone for labor relations within West Virginia.〔
