George Pinknev. House Marion County. West Virginia Name of Property County/State Section number 7___Page 1_______________________________ Architectural Description: General Setting: The George Pinkney Morgan House sits upon a slight prominence in what was once a verdant agricultural landscape long since altered by strip mining. As a result, the area is primarily scrub land, cleared to the current property line, but surrounded by a thicket of young trees. Landmark landscaping features include several large evergreens situated near the house and within the boundary of the cemetery. Approximately 450 feet to the northeast of the house, lie the foundation stones of an earlier structure, possibly the remains of the David Morgan homeplace. Directly behind this continuing northeast, is the cemetery, with the oldest extant stones dating to 1799 and 1813. A roadway leads north to the house, and continues due east past the boundaries of the property, as the land rises. Beside the roadway as it curves east can be seen the David Morgan monument, placed at the end of the nineteenth century to commemorate the site of David Morgan's famous 1779 struggle with two Native Americans. Morgan, George Pinkney, House 1857-62,1900 Contributing Building The George Pinkney Morgan House is a brick farmhouse in the Greek Revival style erected c.l 857-60. The two-story, red brick structure contains 10 rooms and as is typical of many houses built in the 19th century, incorporates a rear ell housing the kitchen, backstairs, and a servants bedroom or storeroom. The brick used in its construction was hand molded. The clay for the brick was obtained from a bank in front of, and slightly to the northeast of, the house. The walls are of masonry construction and appear to be three courses thick on the first story and two courses on the second story. This change in the masonry can be seen on the interior, along the main staircase wall, where it creates a wide ridge at the level of the landing. The building is supported by a foundation of two rows of rectangular, tooled stone creating a strong architectural and stylistic base for the brick laid above. One approaches the entrance to the house from the south. The orientation of the building, with the short end of the main house featuring the entrance, yet without a prominent gable, indicates a stylistic interpretation of the Greek Revival. This orientation is reminiscent of an urban townhouse hi appearance, which is surprising considering the rural setting. The three-bay facade is pierced by two sets of rectangular windows on each floor, with the entrance placed to the right. There is a second entrance hi the second story, directly above the primary first-story entrance. Accounts vary as to whether a small, single-bay porch or simple balcony existed between the first and second story entrances (said to have been removed sometime in the first half of the twentieth century) or if the building's exterior details were never completed due to the onslaught of the Civil War and the subsequent death of the owner. Dressed stone steps lead to the recessed main entrance. A pair of vertical sidelights frame the paneled door and are surmounted by a broken transom consisting of NFS Form 10-900-a OMB No. 10024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Morgan. George Pinkney, House Marion County. West Virginia Name of Property County/State Section number 7___Page 2_______________________________ symmetrical corner lights positioned on either side of a central six light transom. The molded architrave is simple in design, with the stone lintel above functioning as the cornice. These details are replicated, with slight alterations, in the second-story doorway above. Most of the windows of the house are original, six-over-six pane, with smooth stone sills and lintels. Such a division of lights is a hallmark of the Greek Revival style.

    Break: ~l~·~;q~----­ Other: POLREPNUMBER 10 KENTUCKY/WEST VIRGINIA COAL SLURRY SPILL MARTIN COUNTY COAL COltPORATION INEZ, KENTUCKY DATE: NOVEMBER 9, 2000 TO: DOUG LAIR, EPA REGION IV CHARLIE KLEEMAN, EPA REGION III FROM: OOUG STROUD, REGION IV OSC ROBERT KELLY, REGION III OSC I. BACKGROUND A. At approximately 0200 hours on Wednesday, II October 2000, an estimated 250 million gallons of coal mine fine refuse slurry were released from a 72-acre impoundment operated by Martin County Coal Corporation (MCCC). The release occurred as a result of a sudden and unexpected breach into an underground mine adjacent to MCCC's refuse impoundment. The slurry entered both the Wolf Creek and Rockcastle Creek watersheds of Martin County, Kentucky. The spilled material has impacted more than 75 miles of surface water downstream of the site, including both the Tug Fork and Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River, a tributary of the Ohio River. The Tug Fork and Big Sandy Rivers border both West Virginia and Kentucky. B. Several potable water and industrial intakes have been affected as a result of the spill. C. A Joint Information Center (JIC) has been esta~lished on site. The JIC serves to issue joint press releases from EPA, the state of Kentucky and MCCC. The OSC requests that all media inquiries be directed to the JIC at (606) 395-0353 or the EPA OSC at (606) 395-5395. II. CURRENT ACTIVITIES (1700 HOURS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2000) Weather: Weather conditions have degraded with rain showers entering the region. There continues to be concerns over possible flooding and migration of the slurry should a significant rain event occur.
