Virtual Walking Tour
The Captain's House
This site was part of the lot at the corner of Second and
Patrick Streets until 1904. Andrew McGavack (1868-1934) purchased
the land in 1906 and hired Arch Simpson of Purcellville to
construct this Queen Anne-style home. The house exhibits
many features typical of the Victorian era: imbricated roof
shingles, asymmetrical form, a wraparound porch with scroll
brackets, and exuberant color. Notice that the first floor
exterior wall of the house itself echoes the curve of the
porch.

Monroe Hough House
In 1887, Andrew Monroe Hough (1852-1915), a local merchant,
purchased from his parents, Samuel and Mary, lots 20 and
26 of Janney's New Addition. 'Roe Hough built this frame
house soon after and it remained in his family until 1944.
The current owners enlarged the building in 1982.

Old Waod
This is another building that looks older than it actually
is. In the 1970s, the owner constructed it using discarded
railroad ties from the defunct Washington & Old Dominion
Railroad, hence the name. The structure served as storage
space for the house behind it on Main Street but recently
has been made into a home. |
