About The South Side Depot...

General Merchandise Store
Est.1911

In 1884, the Hampshire Southern Railroad completed the 15 mile spur from
Green Springs to Romney, and in 1910 continued construction through Moorefield
to Petersburg. Mr. W.C. Halterman operated it as a general merchandise store
from 1911, until 1940, with the slogan "It pays to deal at the Hardware Store."

In 2003, the City of Petersburg purchased and renovated the historic
building, in conjunction with the West Virginia Department of Tourism.
Renamed The South Side Depot, the store now offers the atmosphere of
times past with today's authentic West Virginia Heritage.

All works displayed at South Side Depot are of
the finest quality. Artists represented at The Depot live
and work in the 'Heart of the Alleghenies.'
