Notes
  • Significance: The seed extractor building was built in 1934 with Forest Service general operating funds, as a part of the Parsons Nursery of the Monongahela National Forest. In it, pine and spruce cones were heated to loosen seeds from the cones, the cones were tumbled to extract the seeds, and the seeds were milled to remove the casing from the seeds. The building and its seed extracting equipment was used by the Forest Service and the State of West Virginia Department of Natural Resources until 1985. Since then, the building has been used for storage by the Tucker County and West Virginia University Cooperative Extension agent. This building is a rare example of a nursery facility housing its original equipment.
