Long Description:
The Doddridge County Courthouse is a late Victorian Remanesque-style red brick structure commanding the crest of a hill overlooking the town of West Union. The structure is a two and one-half story building with steeply pitched gables.
The Doddridge County Courthouse (1899-1903) at West Union, West Virginia is significant because it is one of northeastern West Virginia's finest and best preserved turn-of-the-century civil architecture.
Construction of the present Doddridge County Courthouse was necessitated when fire destroyed a previous building at the same site on November 27, 1898.
