East End Historic District

The residential area extends between the Great Kanawha River and Washington Street, containing numerous single and double-family houses built with brick, frame, and stucco materials.

Holly Grove Mansion, constructed in 1815, represents the oldest structure in the district, marking the beginning of architectural development in this Charleston neighborhood.

The district exhibits diverse architectural elements from Greek Revival to Victorian Queen Anne, with styles varying between the western and eastern sections of the neighborhood.

Buildings in the area consist primarily of two to two-and-a-half-story residences, with some apartment structures reaching up to six floors in height.

The West Virginia State Capitol complex creates a central axis through the district, connecting different residential areas and influencing the neighborhood's layout.
