}}
The West Virginia State Penitentiary is a retired, gothic style prison located in Moundsville, West Virginia. It operated from 1876 to 1995. Currently, the site is maintained as a tourist attraction and training facility.
==Design==
The West Virginia State Penitentiary's design is similar to the facility at Joliet with its castellated Gothic, stone structure, complete with turrets and battlements, except only half the size.〔 Unfortunately, the original architectural designs have been lost.〔 The dimensions of the parallelogram-shaped prison yard are 82½ feet in length, by 352½ feet in width.〔 The stone walls are thick at the base, tapering to 2½ feet at the top, with foundations deep.〔〔 The center tower section is long.〔 It lies at the western side of the complex along Jefferson Avenue and is considered the front, as this is where the main entrance is located.〔 The walls here are high and wide at the base, tapering to towards the top.〔
