Old Town Row is located in the prestigious historic district of Wheeling, WV known as Victorian Old Town. This
unique section of the city has enjoyed a twenty year revitalization of eloquent mansions and 19th Century town homes that
stand second to none in America.
With its 19th century architecture and tree lined street scape you will be transformed back to a time when the
Victorian Era was at its peak. Old Town
was one of the first areas of Wheeling to be developed manly because Wheeling
WV was settled along the banks of the Ohio River. Old Town which is
located to the north sits higher then the rest of the city and never got flooded. As a result of this many of Wheeling’s early prominent resident built there mansions in this area. In the early
1970 because so many of the building had over the years survived several destructive urban trends Victorian Old Town
with its unmatched Victorian architecture and history has became one of Wheeling VW true treasures. Today Old Town
is is a preferred area for living, Dinning, shopping and relaxing. (The Victorian homes featured
on this page are located across the street from Old Town Row and offer tours to the public on weekends.)
