A West Virginia Landmark for sale. Located in Wyoming County is the Itmann Company Store. Just west of Mullens in the town of Itmann is the former company store of the Pocahontas Fuel Company. It is one of the most spectacular remnants of the coal boom era in the entire state. The town of Itmann, named after Isaac T. Mann--principal shareholder of Pocahontas Fuel and President of the Bank of Bramwell--was built in 1916. The Pocahontas No. 3 mine started production in 1917.The company store was designed by noted coalfield architect Alex B. Mahood and constructed between 1923 and 1925 by Italian immigrant stonemasons. Stone for the project was cut from cliffs across the Guyandotte River and hauled to the site. As was often the case, this company store was located in the middle of the town.
