Isaac T. Mann-principal shareholder of Pocahontas Fuel and President of the Bank of Bramwell. 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 and served multiple purposes. It was here that residents purchased food, clothing, household goods, furniture, and even caskets. In addition to providing a store for the miners and families, the building housed the general offices of Pocahontas Fuel, a post office, a doctor's office, a pool room, and a barbershop. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
