The Savage Flats at the northeast corner of Thirteenth and Avery were built in
1903 by Thomas Savage, who lived across the street at 420 Thirteenth.

Oil producer Dennis O'Brien and his wife Anna lived at this house at 426 Thirteenth
(seen here in 1897), next to the Savage house. After Anna O'Brien's death in 1959,
her son, George Stevenson, continued to live here for many years.

The Thirteenth Street School, seen here circa 1907, sat on the southeast
corner of Thirteenth & Avery. It was turned into a book repository
in the late 1940s and torn down in the 1960s.

The Parkersburg City Hospital (seen here around 1906) was located at 508 Thirteenth
Street, opposite St. Mary's Avenue. The building later became the St. Raphael's
Convent for the Sisters of the Poor Child Jesus. It was torn down to make way
for the Greenbrier Apartments in the late 1960s.
