West Virginia Building Catches Fire

{Huntington, West Virginia}... Part of downtown Huntington was blocked off Sunday evening when a small fire broke out in the West Virginia Building at 9th Street and 4th Avenue as concert-goers were headed to the Alice Cooper show at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center. The West Virginia Building was built in 1924 and is the tallest building in downtown Huntington. It is home to several apartments, along with Huntington Prime restaurant and Village Collection women’s boutique on the ground floor, and Huntington Prime’s Piano Bar on the top floor. Residents were quickly evacuated, and no one was reported injured.
