<em> <em> Repurposed Appalachia </em> </em> In a narrow hollow north of downtown Kimball sits one of McDowell County's most intact company stores. The Houston Coal Company Store, later known to locals as the Koppers Store, anchored daily life for the Carswell mining camp and still reads clearly as an early twentieth century company showpiece.
