Regarding Holliday-Schaefer House. National Register Nomination Form Excerpt:
The eight homes from 2301 through 2323 Chapline Street have been described as the best extant example of a series of high style Victorian structures in West Virginia. Seven of the eight buildings appear almost exactly as they were during the nineteenth century. The exception is 2221-2223 which was built about 1853 as one of the first homes in the entire residential area south of Wheeling Creek.
All the buildings blend together smoothly with no open spaces. There is a similarity as to scale, proportions and building materials.
