Grand 1900 Historic Home in Parkersburg’s Julia-Ann Square Historic District

Built in 1900 and prominently situated in Parkersburg’s Julia-Ann Square Historic District, this remarkable residence represents the kind of architecture and craftsmanship that has become increasingly difficult to find.

The home makes an unforgettable first impression with its towering columns, sweeping front porch, distinctive red-brick exterior and leaded-glass entrance. Step through the front door and the scale becomes even more impressive. An enormous foyer with beautiful hardwood floors, fireplace, built-in seating and a dramatic staircase immediately establishes the character of the home.

Throughout the residence are graciously proportioned rooms, beautiful woodwork, leaded and decorative glass, multiple fireplaces and architectural details that reflect the craftsmanship of another era. The extraordinary oval dining room is a particular highlight, featuring its original built-in China cabinet, elaborate cornice work and an ornate fireplace.

One of the home’s most memorable spaces is the former ballroom, now an impressive billiard room featuring a custom pool table constructed on site. It is a room that speaks to the scale and history of a house built for entertaining.

While its historic character has been carefully preserved, substantial investments have also been made in the property for modern living, including high-end multi-stage HVAC systems, updated climate control, irrigation, extensive exterior maintenance and numerous additional improvements.

Outside, the imposing architecture and grounds make this one of the most recognizable residences in the historic district.

This is more than simply an old house. It is an opportunity to become the next caretaker of a distinctive piece of Parkersburg architecture and continue a story that began more than 125 years ago.
