Ohio County Courthouse and Wheeling City Hall, Chapline Street and 15th Street, Wheeling, WV

            Built in 1959-1960, this Modern International-style building was designed by Frederic H. Faris, Jr., and constructed to house the Ohio County Government and Courts, as well as the Wheeling City Government.  The building replaced an earlier, more ornate structure on the same site, which was constructed in 1875-1876 to serve as the West Virginia State Capitol, which it did from 1875 until 1885, when the state government returned to Charleston.  From 1885 until 1956, the former state capitol building served as the Ohio County Courthouse and Wheeling City Hall, and was known as the City-County Building.  The building features an orange brick exterior with textured panels at the spandrels above and below windows on the principal street-facing facades, simple rectilinear porticoes clad in stone at the principal entrances on Chapline Street and 16th Street, a two-story wing stretching south along Chapline Street towards 16th Street, and a six-story wing at the north end of the building along 15th Street.  The building today remains in use as a municipal building and county courthouse.
