Property history
The history of 1315 Washington Avenue extends beyond its architecture. Historical materials associated with the property identify Henry and Delia Logan as the home's original owners. Henry Logan was associated with the Logan Carriage Company, a Parkersburg business that manufactured carriages and wagons during an era when horse-drawn transportation was giving way to the automobile. The business would later become the Logan Automobile Company.
More than 120 years after it was built, 1315 Washington Avenue continues to offer something increasingly difficult to duplicate: the scale, craftsmanship, and history of a grand early-1900s residence.
