Founded in 1867, Parkersburg High's
current Tudor structure is a Frank
Packard design built in 1917. PHS
was the state's largest high school
until 1940 and served all of the
city until 1967, when a second high
school opened on the South Side to
handle growing enrollment. Born of
the region's oil and gas boom, PHS
and the nearby area were listed on
the National Register in 1992.
