Capitol Annex

Charleston_card010p_standard

The capitol annex at the corner of Lee and Hale streets housed the offices of the auditor, treasurer, the Supreme Court, the state law library, the adjutant general, and the Department of Archives and History. The state vacated the building when the new capitol was completed in 1932. The building later housed the Kanawha County Public Library from 1926 to 1966 and Morris Harvey College from 1935 to 1947. The building was demolished in 1967.
