Regarding Cathedral Parish School. National Register Excerpt:

The Wheeling Catholic Elementary School remains one of the last late 19th century neighborhood schools still in use by the Diocese in the city of Wheeling. The building is relatively unchanged from its original design and still has many decorative details such as the tin ceilings, wainscoting, and original windows and moulding.
