Pendleton County Poor Farm
Pendleton County Poor Farm, Historic poor farm house in Upper Tract, West Virginia, US.
The two-and-a-half-story wooden building features a full-width front porch and a hipped roof with dormers in Four-square architectural style.
Built around 1900, this county institution provided shelter, medical care, and work opportunities for individuals unable to support themselves during times of economic hardship.
The property represents early twentieth-century social welfare initiatives, when local governments established facilities to care for disadvantaged community members.
Located at US Route 220, the one-acre property remains accessible for visitors interested in examining the evolution of American social services.
The building belongs to the South Branch Valley Multiple Resource Area and received National Register of Historic Places designation in January 1986.
