647 Main

||
647-649 Main St, Circa 1880s - This double house is in Italianate style. Window and door hoods are stylized flat arches with keystones. There are two pedimented-gable dormers. The original cornice, which probably was very decorative, has been removed and replaced with aluminum.
From: National Register of Historic Places - North Wheeling Historic District (1988)

The right image shows the new personality taken on in 2011, separating it from its architectual continuation at 649.

Original owner/oldest recorded owner: Mary McConnell - school teacher (from VOTA records).

From Ross Frazier who lived in 653: this house was a house just like the 653 property, divided but owned by the McDonald Family who lived in the 549 address, the other half [647] was a number of tenants, with the longest being the Robert Weir family.
