Isaac Duvall and Company
The first glass house in Western Virginia was built at Charlestown, now Wellsburg, in 1813, by Isaac Taylor Duvall and Company. It was located on the southeast corner of Fifth and Yankee Streets. Cobalt blue, green and clear flint glass wares were made here. Isaac Duvall died in 1828, and company was sold in 1838 to Samuel Lowther, Joseph Miller and George Cotts for $2100.
