Wheeling Female College

from the 1870 map of Wheeling (Chicago Map Co.)

"On January 24, 1848, the Virginia General Assembly passed an act which incorporated the Wheeling Female Seminary in Wheeling, under the direction of a group of male trustees. It later became Wheeling Female College. In 1891, it was purchased by the Woman's Hospital Association and became Wheeling City Hospital.
