| 説明 | Built in 1798, this Federal-style house was built by Moses Shepherd for himself, his wife, Lydia Boggs Shepherd, and his family. The house remained the home of Lydia Boggs until her death in 1867, with Lydia being a primary source for information on the history of Wheeling when it was officially recorded in the second half of the 19th Century. The house originally consisted of the five-bay central wing, built of stone, and had a 20-foot-tall monument of Henry Clay on the front lawn, erected by the Shepherd family in 1820, from which the house later got its moniker of “Monument Place” from a subsequent owner. Unfortunately, the monument was damaged by acid rain during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, and was destroyed while in storage at Oglebay Park when a fire broke out. The house features a stone exterior, a side-gable roof, two-over-two double-hung windows, gabled dormers, a front door with a Adamesque portico surround with engaged doric columns and a fanlight transom, quoins, a one-story sunroom on the south side of the house with casement windows, and a large one-story addition to the rear of the house, clad in buff brick. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The house was purchased by the Osiris Shriners in the 1920s, who renovated and expanded the house to serve as their clubhouse, and the group retains ownership of the property today. |
