The elegant residential section of Main Strreet in Bramwell, known as the "Millionaires' Town in West Virginia's Southern Coalfields," which extended for 40 miles from Bramwell, which, it is said, once housed more millionaires per capita than any other town in America in the late 1800s. The rich Pochahontas coal fields, employing more than 100,000 miners, started in Bramwell and spread over forty miles. At one time, the Norfolk & Western railroad ran 14 trains a day through town. Shown are the 1893 Bank of Bramwell building (right) and the Perry House next door, built by the bank and occupied for many years by one of its first cashiers, J.B. Perry, and his family.
