House Location

[edit]

I noticed a comment on the photo source stating that the house address is no longer reflected as Dayton Blvd. According to the Barbour County Assessor, the address remains 303 Dayton Blvd. It might seem strange considering that the house is at the intersection of Gall and Sturmer. Dayton Blvd ends at the house property and looks like a driveway, and the side of the house that faces Dayton is actually the front of the house.

The National Register of Historic Places clarifies: "The Wilmoth House is located on the northern end of Dayton Avenue within the city limits of Belington, Barbour County, West Virginia. The house occupies five city lots with a contributing single-car garage on the south eastern lot and a non-contributing modern four-car garage on the northern lot. The property is bordered on the western side by the Tygart River and in all other directions by residential housing. The main entrance to the Wilmoth House faces Gall Avenue and the side entrance faces Dayton Avenue. Of the houses surrounding the Wilmoth house and within the general vicinity, only the house directly to the south can be compared in size and craftsmanship."
