Description
Located in Wheeling, West Virginia, this beautiful Beaux Arts 10-story high-rise was initially built for the National Bank of West Virginia in 1915.
Designed by Charles W. Bates, a noted Wheeling architect, the building was built to withstand flooding from the nearby Ohio River. The reinforced concrete and terra cotta building sits on a solid granite foundation.
While the building now sits empty, it has been known by many names over the years: Beaux Arts Tower, KLOS Tower, Medical Tower, W.M. Marsh Building, and Absure Tower.
I took the liberty of fixing several boarded-up windows on the upper floors.
