from the 1870 map of Wheeling ([/References Chicago Map Co.])
from [/References Milton (1943)]


The undated photo and 1870 drawing agree on the general nature of the courthouse. It was Greek Revival with stout columns, Doric capitals and a massive pediment. The cupula shown on the drawing looks very incongruous with the temple architecture - did it ever exist? The drawing depicts a lighter, taller building, the photo shows a massive one. Built 1839, demolished 1899
