Downtown – Bluefield, West Virginia
We only had a moment to visit Bluefield. During that time we were struck by the urban character of a few blocks. When we arrived work was being undertaken to install what appeared to be a bus stop canopy. Nearby were several simple two- to six-story buildings with an urban character.
Once could be mistaken to think that they were in a much larger city. Then to reflect that this was in a very rural area of West Virginia showed how building patterns changed so radically from the time that these buildings were constructed and today.
