from Third Street on the northto First Street on the south,including two blocks of First from the West Fork River to CenterAvenue;two blocks of Center between First and Second streets,and Scond from its head atCourt Avenue [and encompassing three buildings on Court]westward several blocks to the oldrailroad station and nearby railroad hotel,directly across the West Fork River.[The stationlies immediately opposite the grounds and buildings of the Weston State Hospital-originallythe Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum -which is already listed in the National Register ofHistoric Places.]The buildings determined as pivotal help to define the boundaries of thedistrict:i.e..the railroad tracks were built along the west bank of the river:the courthousesquare has,since 1818,been situated at the base of a hill on the east;the presence of TownRun at the southern end of Weston,one block south of First Street.slowed development pastthe juncture of Main and First;and to the north,the natural terrain,assisted by politicalmaneuvering,dictated the route of the old Staunton and Parkersburg Turnpike,which passeddown Third Street onto Main,turning onto Second to cross the river.The actual core of thetown has remained situated within the nucleus surveyed and laid out into town lots before 1820.The business district,in fact,has been concentrated in the same few blocks for most of Weston'shistory,and the progress of the town's development,from county seat and main stop on theStaunton-Parkersburg Turnpike to oil
