Wirgman Building

The Wirgman Building was an early 19th century Federal-style commercial and residential building located on East Main Street (U.S. Route 50) in Romney, West Virginia. Following its completion around 1825 to serve as the Romney branch office for the Bank of the Valley of Virginia, the Wirgman Building at various times served as a location for every subsequent bank established in Romney, to include the Bank of Romney and the First National Bank of Romney. During the American Civil War, the building was used as a military prison. For a time, the Wirgman Building's second floor housed the offices and printing plant of the ''Hampshire Review'' newspaper. By 1937, the ground floor of the Wirgman Building housed office and mercantile space, and the second floor was divided into apartments. After the Wirgman Building sustained damage in a fire in 1964, it was demolished in 1965 to make way for the construction of the new Bank of Romney headquarters building. Prior to its demolition, the Wirgman Building was photographed and documented by the National Park Service's Historic American Buildings Survey in 1937.
== History ==
In 1790, the trustees of the Town of Romney commissioned John Mitchel to draft a cadastral survey map of Romney. Prior to this survey, Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron had commissioned a similar cadastral survey of Romney sometime before the town's incorporation on December 23, 1762.〔 On June 30, 1790, Mitchel submitted to the trustees a "Plan of the Town of Romney," which divided the town into 100 land lots of equal size, with four lots adjacent to the courthouse comprising the "publick" square.〔 The Wirgman Building was later built upon the "publick" land lot numbered "Lot 76". Romney's first cemetery was present on the lot when it was a part of the courthouse square. The cemetery's interments were located on the actual site, and to the rear, of the future Wirgman Building.〔
