Notes
  • Significance: Joseph Speidel and Company had the largest wholesale grocery business in West Virginia during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This building, which was the company's first warehouse, is a fine example of the cast iron front buildings built along lower Main Street during the late 1800s. The building designed in the High Victorian Italianate style extended between Main and South Streets with cast iron fronts on both facades. Today it is Wheeling's single surviving double front cast iron building.
