Wheeling neighborhoods include the Victorian Old Town, Centre Wheeling, East End, and Downtown. These neighborhoods feature classic Victorian rowhouses and townhomes, beautiful grand pre-WWII buildings, and some of the finest variety of architecture (albeit rusted) for a city its size in the country. A city that seems to pack so much in such a small land area, exploring Wheeling is a must for any urban enthusiast.

It's been years since I was in Wheeling, and I never knew there was so much to it. Wonderful photos!

Nice shots.

So many gems there awaiting renovation.  I'd love to pick a bunch of that city up and transfer it to places with tight housing markets.  The money would sure fly then.  Wonderful set of pics ColDay, though I do have some concern about that 'burgh place which is trying to sneak into the thread. Thanks.

This shot looks familar:

Here is a shot of Wheeling I took last year.  Does the sun ever shine on this city?

Now that I'm there, I can say that yes it's quite sunny in Wheeling. And unfortunately, very hot right now. But the view from campus is beautiful. I'll try to get pics up sometime.

 

PS - I actually did some community service in East Wheeling. They're putting a lot of effort into revitalizing the neighborhood properties, and will be putting in some new houses on empty lots when they can. Unfortunately, I forget the name of the group doing this.

What's that red building to the left on the river?

Wheeling has some nice surprises!
