The Mountain State Building is constructed.
The Mountain State Building is located on the bank of the Historic Area pond across from Blaker’s Mill. It is a contemporary one-story log structure with a rectangular plan and an end-gabled roof. It has a front porch that extends across the length of the front façade and reaches to the waterfront. The interior of the building consists of one large room and restroom facilities. Previously the Mountain State Building houses the Historic Area General Store and Visitors’ Center and contains a life-size portrait of Stonewall Jackson painted in 1897 by E.F. Andrews.
