Avery Street Historic District, is a national historic district located at Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia. It encompasses 358 contributing buildings and one contributing object. It is a primarily residential area built as Parkersburg's first "suburb" or "extension" in the late-19th and early-20th century in popular architectural style such as Colonial Revival and Queen Anne. U.S. Senator Johnson N. Camden (1826-1908) owned most of the land now included in the district. In addition to housing, it includes churches, a school, and a small commercial area. It is located to the east of the Julia-Ann Square Historic District and south of the Parkersburg High School-Washington Avenue Historic District. Located in the district are the separately listed Parkersburg Women's Club and the First Presbyterian Church/Calvary Temple Evangelical Church.[1][2]
