Notes: Purchase; Carol M. Highsmith Photography, Inc.; 2015; (DLC/PP-2015:055).; Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; The house was built by Peter Godwin Van Winkle, whom one historical site calls "the most important person to ever live in Parkersburg." Born in New York in 1808, he emigrated to Wood County and quickly rose to prominence practicing law. He was president of the Northwestern Virginia Railroad Company, a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, and one of West Virginia's first members of the United States Senate (1863-1869), where he cast the deciding vote in President Andrew Johnson's 1868 impeachment trial that acquitted Johnson and ruined Van Winkle's career. A later owner greatly enlarged the structure by adding wings and a third floor and reversing the stairwell. The home's original front faced Murdoch Avenue, a more fashionable thoroughfare than Ann Street at that time.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Forms part of: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
