Morgantown Wharf and Warehouse Historic District is a national historic district located at Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia. The district includes 36 contributing buildings, 1 contributing site, and 2 contributing structures in a formerly industrial area along the Monongahela River and B&O Railroad tracks. The district consists of primarily two and three-story, masonry buildings with warehouse or commercial facilities on the first floor with some residential on the upper stories, and some worker's housing.
