Gone Forever, A Series - Fort Henry Motel

Fort Henry Motel

The Fort Henry Motel was located on U.S. Route 40, or National Road, in Elm Grove, and it seemed to be there during whole childhood. It is hard to believe that so many places that seemed so much a part of the Wheeling life are now gone forever. There is now a beautiful housing development called Capital Green Apartments occupying that location. Enjoy! It has been a passion of mine to showcase and preserve Wheeling’s rich history with this series of historic photographs that highlight a business or building that is no longer here in the Upper Ohio Valley. If you have suggestions on a favorite business or location that has vanished, please submit that to me at [email protected]. I will do my best to search out and tell that story. I hope with this series, “Gone Forever,” I will be able to show what made Wheeling the greatest city in West Virginia, and the large amount of business and industry that was here in the early ’30s and ’40s that attracted people from everywhere.

The courtyard area of the Fort Henry Motel was usually crowded with cars during the evening hours.

Travelers checked in and checked out simply by driving up to the windows of the office.

The Fort Henry employed several local folks, including an extensive housekeeping crew.

The office was located at the entrance of the motel with windows on every side.

This billboard was located near the 'S-Bridge' in Elm Grove. James Thornton has published several volumes of history on the city of Wheeling, and those interested in purchasing one of them can do so by contacting him at [email protected], or visit the Creative Impressions website.

First time I’ve ever seen Fort Henry from this view...very cool. 16 years in Kingston and I never knew you could take a walking tour of the Royal Military College grounds...and I wasn’t even yelled at once! 😳 #Military #rmc #rmcc college #boats #forthenry #fortifications #visitkingston #kingstoncanada #kingstonmuseums #museums #backinmyday #water #lakeontario #ygk #kingston #ygkphotography #ontario #beautifuldestinations #getaway #discoveron #discover #explore #bestofontario #kingstonphotography (at Royal Military College of Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbumZeAlVk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1syhjxxa0sa17

Boxing Day.  Exton and Fort Henry.

Family lore has it that my great-grandfather was born at Fort Henry when it was a working Fort. He was born in 1879, and his father was a saddle-maker during the Northwest Rebellion. I haven’t actually been able to find a definitive record to confirm this...but I’m always searching. #fhg #forthenry #forthenryguard #history #military #ygk #ygkphotography #museums #museum #nwmp #northwestmountedpolice #kingston #visitkingston #bestofontario #insidecanada #kingston_on #kingstoncanada #kingstonontario #police #history #familyhistory #geneology #thesearchcontinues #army #canada #proud #heritage (at Military Communications and Electronics Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrWLX0rgB2A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14pnbweq9b1c4
