OLD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH was built in 1865, lost its steeple in a lighning storm. Last service was held in 1962. The building was moved to its present site in Chamber Park in 1968.
THE ICE HOUSE was important in early Wheeling. Restaurants and butcher shops had them, usually by the river.
HUGE WOODEN FORMS shaped the concrete bridge that is still in place where Dundee Road crosses the Des Plaines River. Meanwhile, a low, temporary structure (right) had to serve.
