English: Built in 1859 as a Greek Revival-style building for the Linsley Institute, a private high school, the building became the West Virginia State Capitol in 1863, upon its secession from Virginia, and remained in use as the home of the state government until 1870, when the state government moved to Charleston. The building was designed by Henry Coen, and was renovated by Edward B. Franzheim in the 1920s with the addition of Classical Revival-style elements to serve as the Bertschy Memorial Mortuary, a funeral home. In the 1960s, the building was purchased by the Medical Arts Corporation, and renovated to house medical offices, being renamed the Medical Arts Building. The building features a stucco-clad red brick exterior with Corinthian pilasters, twelve-over-one and nine-over-one double-hung windows with decorative window hoods, a corncie with dentils, urns on the parapet, a projected entrance bay with corinthian pilasters, a pediment with a cartouche, and a front entrance door with an arched transom, bronze lampposts flanking the front entrance door, two one-story wings on either end of the front facade, which feature urns on the parapet, planter beds on the front facades, and carved relief panels with festoons, and decorative balconies at the second floor windows with metal railings. The building is a contributing structure in the Wheeling Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The building presently houses various office tenants.
