Today in Wheeling History: February 11--The Stone Tavern at Roney's Point was added to the National Register of Historic Places (1993).
The Stone Tavern at Roney's Point is a historic inn and tavern located at the intersection of the National Road and Roney's Point Road in Ohio County, West Virginia.

In the 1870s, Italianate details were added. A two-story brick wing was added in the 1920s. An early 20th century auto court called Stone House Auto Court was built on the site in 1922.
