15633 Factory St.
The Loudoun County Historic District Review Committee approved
the construction of this house in 1978/79. |
Laneslea
John Spinks, a talented carpenter from Paeonian Springs,
built this house in 1902. He incorporated materials from
the Lewis Hough house at the corner of Patrick and Second
Streets, which had just been demolished to make way for the
new headquarters of the Loudoun Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
Before 1902 this lot had remained vacant. Laneslea has German
siding, a metal gable roof with a cross-gable to emphasize
its height, and a fanciful Victorian-style porch.

Mill Run
Descendants of some of Waterford's earliest families-Carr,
Vandeventer and Myers- constructed this house in 1970. |
Leslie Myers House
The lot on which this house sits was a cornfield, and conveyed
with the Steer-Divine house at 15655 High Street for much
of its history. In 1924 this dwelling was built for Mr. Leslie
Myers. It is an American four-square, a very popular house
style in the early 20th century with box-like form and four
nearly equal size rooms per floor. |
Boxwood Walk
This frame house was constructed before 1821, and traditionally
conveyed with the adjacent blacksmith shop property [Coale's
Blacksmith Shop on Clarke's Gap Road]. Blacksmith Lewis Coale
(1793-c.1849), who arrived from Maryland in 1817, probably
built the shop, and he may have built the house as well.
Like most Waterford homes, it has been modified since its
construction. |
