Always enjoy seeing pictures of the homestead. This must have been taken with a drone. The house is once more for sale on Zillo in Wheeling, W.Va. Someone did an excellent job of restoring the house to original condition. On Zillow you can see all the interior rooms. Growing up with six sisters, and two brothers, it took a big house. My grandfather lived nearby, as did cousins. Wheeling was the richest city in the United States in 1894. On the Ohio River, Wheeling was the original gateway to the west where people loaded up with supplies. The B&O railroad was the first rail line to punch into the west, and that helped a lot.
