Labelle Nail Factory. Wheeling, WV

croftgallery@gmail.com (Croft Gallery) — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

]]>The Wheeling-La Belle Nail Company (formerly La Belle Ironworks) manufactured cut nails, using 19th-century machines and technology well into the 21st Century. Located in south Wheeling, the La Belle Ironworks was founded in 1852, and took its name from the French name for the Ohio River, La Belle Rivière, ‘‘the beautiful river.’’ Making cut nails was an important 19th-century American manufacture, and nail production became a hallmark of Wheeling industry.
By 1875, the city was known as the Nail City, and La Belle was Wheeling’s leading nail producer. But as cut nail use declined in the late 1880s in favor of modern wire nails, La Belle diversified its product line, first through the manufacture of tin plate, and later with the production of steel plates, tubes, and sheets. In 1920, La Belle merged with Wheeling Iron and Steel and Whitaker-Glessner Company to form Wheeling Steel Corporation (later Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation) and continued to produce cut nails, developing a specialized market in hardened nails for use in masonry. D-Mac Industries bought the nail plant in 1997 and operated it as Wheeling-La Belle Nail Company. Facing an economic downturn and foreign competition, Wheeling-La Belle Nail Company closed on September 30, 2010.

Capitol Theatre - Wheeling, WV

croftgallery@gmail.com (Croft Gallery) — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

]]>On September 8, 2014, I (Andrew) had the opportunity to tour the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, WV. Thank you Frank O'Brien and Steve Novotney for making it happen. The Theatre has been going through some much needed renovations lately. The facade was recently redone, new (comfortable!) seats were added, and during this tour they were installing a new state of the art LED lighting system.

The Capitol first opened on Thanksgiving Day in 1928. For many years it was the home of Jamboree USA and is currently home to the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra. Many legends, and potential legends, have stepped foot on this stage. The capitol is a diversified live entertainment venue that includes Broadway shows, music concerts, movie nights, and comedy acts. A very limited list of performers include Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Ray Charles, Lynyrd Skynrd, Bob Dylan, Jerry Seinfeld, and The Avett Brothers.

I hope you enjoy the tour. Please feel free to leave comments!
