Constructed in 1788 by Alexander Wells at 65 Washington St. in Buffaloe, Virginia, now present-day Third St. in Wellsburg, West Virginia, the Wells Log House was, and is, in the National Register of Historic Places District of Wellsburg, registered in 1981. The four-room, two-floor log house has a “turkey breast” design fireplace in each room. Riverview Baptist Chapel's foresight permitted the Wells Log House to be preserved for education and enjoyment, and Brooke County Commissioners preserve and cherish the structure as a memorial for, and reminder of, ancestors and history.
