The Matewan Lockup and City Hall was constructed in 1908 by then-mayor Cabell Testerman. It is a small, one-story block building sat along First Avenue, directly across the main road from Mate Street. The facility played a role in the Matewan Massacre, as it was the headquarters for Testerman as well as Sheriff Sid Hatfield during their efforts to intervene in the dispute between the city’s miners and the Baldwin-Felts Detectives who were attempting to evict them from their homes.
