User:West Virginian/List of the oldest buildings in West Virginia
In 1924, West Virginia Governor Ephraim F. Morgan appointed a committee to study the circumstances surrounding the settlement of Morgan Morgan, the first white homesteader within West Virginia's present boundaries.[1] The committee determined that a crude shelter built by Morgan in 1726 was the first house to be constructed in present-day West Virginia.[1] Morgan's shelter was built on the property of the William G. Morgan House near Bunker Hill in Berkeley County.[1] Later research revealed that Morgan probably built the log house between 1731 and 1734 at that location.[2][3] It was rebuilt in 1976.[2][3] In 1976, the Berkeley County Historical Landmarks Commission purchased the ruin of Morgan's cabin, and dismantled and reconstructed the building with some of the logs from the original structure.[2][3]
