Located in Wheeling, WV, the B&O Building is home to West Virginia Northern Community College, housed in a historic French Renaissance structure that once served as a passenger station for the B&O Railroad. The building, completed in 1908, boasts state-of-the-art amenities for its time, including an internal telephone system, steam heat, indoor plumbing, and electric elevators.
Today, the B&O Building stands as a testament to Wheeling's rich history, with the college's Alumni Association dedicated to preserving the legacy of the B&O Railroad and the building itself. Renovated over the years, the facility now showcases a collection of B&O memorabilia and glass artifacts, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's past and serving as a focal point for historic adaptive-restoration efforts in downtown Wheeling.
