Friends of Wheeling Tour - 821 Main Street

Friends of Wheeling toured 821 Main Street, John Kilbourne List House, on March 27, 2023. Deed records show that the property at 821 Main Street was transferred from Henry K. List and his wife Sarah to their son John K. List in December 1892. It is assumed that the house was built shortly after that. The father, Henry K. List (1821-1900), was a very successful businessman who dealt in wholesale groceries, wool, and pig iron and then banking. The 1870 Census is a good indicator of his wealth, with his real estate holdings estimated at $75,000 (the equivalent of about $1.4 million today) and his personal wealth estimated at $300,000 (the equivalent of nearly $5.8 million today). Henry K. and Sarah List lived at 827 Main Street, two doors to the south of 821 Main. Their daughter/John’s sister Jessie, wife of Edward Hazlett, lived in the house between Henry and John (823 Main Street). John K. List (1861-1941) graduated from Haverford College, Philadelphia, and then returned to Wheeling. The 1884 Wheeling City Directory shows him working as a clerk at the Top Mill. In 1885 he married Harriet Glass, daughter of Andrew Glass, one of the founders of LaBelle Nail. By 1890 John was a teller at The City Bank of Wheeling, 1300 Market Street (now known as the Professional Building). By 1892 his title was Assistant Cashier, and he eventually became Vice President of the bank, with his brother (Ambrose List) serving as President. John sold 821 Main in 1913 and moved to Winter Park, Florida, just north of Orlando, where he served as the President of the Bank of Winter Park and then as its Chairman of the Board. He apparently traveled extensively both before and after moving to Florida, with trips to Europe in 1905, 1907, and 1909; to China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Hawaii in 1910; to Jamaica in 1912; to Cuba in 1919 (to attend a meeting of the Mystic Shrine); and to Europe again in 1927. A photo accompanies his 1919 passport application, when he was 58 years old; he’s shown as being 5’8” tall with brown hair and eyes. List died in 1941 in Florida. His obituary states, "Mr. J.K. List, 80, died at his home in Winter Park, Monday evening after several months illness. Mr. List had been a resident of Winter Park for the past 32 years and had many friends throughout Orange County. He was a member of the Masonic Order and for many years took an active part. He was president of the Winter Park Bank and also took an active part in many other civic organizations. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Harriett [Glass] List, also two sisters, Mrs. Edward Hazlett and Mrs. Sallie Dalzell of Wheeling, W. Va.” His cremated remains are in Wheeling’s Greenwood Cemetery. John B. and Frances Brennan purchased the property from John K. List in 1913. Brennan (1856-1932) was the son of Irish immigrants and worked as an agent and then manager for the Prudential Insurance Company. A group of unmarried siblings, children of German immigrants, were the next owners, beginning in 1917 – Louis Feinler (1853-1918, retired, lived at 840 Main), Joseph Feinler (1856-1926, salesman), Amelia Feinler (1859-1927, domestic work), Mary Feinler (1859-1931), and Julia Feinler (1879-1947). All except Louis lived in 821 Main. After her brothers and sisters died, Julia Feinler sold the property in 1945 and moved to 823 Market Street. John W. and Nellie Bryan purchased the property in 1945. The son of Irish immigrants, Bryan (1861-1948) worked as a boilermaker. His widow, Nellie (1883-1958) sold the property after his death and moved to the Virginia Apartments. James L. Hughes, foreman for the B&O Railroad, and his wife Margaret owned the property from 1949 to 1966. Margaret died in 1954, and it appears that James didn’t live in the house after that time. Regina McFarland (1890-1979) next owned the property, beginning in 1966. She was the widow of electrician Edgar E. McFarland, Sr. (1893-1959). Following her death, the property was willed to her daughter, Thelma McFarland (c.1919-1991). It then passed to her brother, Edgar E. McFarland, Jr., who sold it in 1992 to the Victorian Landmarks Foundation. In 2006 the Foundation sold it to Vandalia. Tristan and Suzy Kim bought the property in 2011. The current owner, Heather Slack, purchased it in early 2017. National Register Nomination: “The John K. List house is somewhat eclectic but is primarily of the Queen Anne style, with steep roof, rounded front, entrance portico, terra cotta trim, pediment above the rounded front with a Palladian window and gable dormer with pediment.” Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival House built in 1893 by Henry K. List (who lived at 827 Main) for his son John List. The entry has a stained-glass skylight commemorating Columbus' voyage of 1492 - 401 years earlier.
