Notes
  • Significance: This may be the oldest documented building in downtown Wheeling. Noah Zane deeded the land on which this Church stands "for the use, purpose and design of erecting a meeting house or church," in 1816. By 1825 a church was ready for occupancy. The existing portico, narthex and 54 feet of the sanctuary nearest Chapline Street are said to be surviving elements of the original edifice, although stylistic evidence indicates either rebuilding or extensive remodeling of the front portion during the remodeling done in 1854.
