West Virginia has some cool downtown-type buildings left in its smaller cities, but outside of examples of rowhouses in Wheeling I've already mentioned, very little residential urban vernacular survives.

There are some surviving blocks of rowhouses in Charleston. Weirdly none of these appear to front directly on public streets any longer.
