Roanoke Warehouse Company

1. Our historic photo is of the old Roanoke Warehouse at the corner of Lamont and West Point Street. This building was built between 1914 and 1917. Many people around Roanoke call the building Master Door. Cooper, 82, of Roanoke explained the Warehouse Co. was one of the four companies founded by W.W. Campbell and J.C. Wright that were intertwined.  Now the building is built differently and has people living in it.
2. The shape of the building, still in same spot, and the roadway.
3. The sidewalk, powerlines, and the light poles.
4. Many people moved and lost jobs so money wasn’t coming in.
5. We don’t have a lot of stuff that they did back then. They were more wealthier back then,
6. We think that good things will happen to Roanoke because more money will be coming in from more employment.
