The Waldo Hotel has a deep and rich history in Harrison County. Completed in 1904, the Waldo Hotel was once the social center of Clarksburg. In its day, it was a gathering place for parties, weddings, civic meetings and social events. It was known as West Virginia's most luxurious hotel, and people rode the train from miles around to experience its atmosphere and southern tradition. A study is underway to determine the best reuse for the renovated facility, which offers 100,000 square feet at the gateway to Glen Elk, a warehouse district rich with ethnic history.
