This is the old jail located in Fincastle. It was built in 1897 and has a long history, which you can read about HERE . I came home and googled information about the jail and was pleasantly surprised to find such a great, informative story written by my very own local blogging friend Country Dew! .
Also I have to thank another local blogging friend Blue Ridge Gal for hooking me up with my awesome new header! Thanks BRG!
A very nice place! This tree seems to be huge too.
ReplyDeleteI do like your new banner, bravo!
I like the new header.
ReplyDeleteDid the inmates get to use the balacony?
I like the way you framed the jail with the tree. You have so much history in that area.
ReplyDeleteThe day I was in Fincastle everything was closed up tighter than a drum. Would love to see the inside of those old downtown area buildings.

ReplyDeleteYep, it's a jail alright, look at all the bars on the windows! hehehe
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that header photo - I remember you posting it a while back - I just love how the light shines on the tree tops, but not all over! And the horse in the field - Very cool shot!
I have to chime in with everyone else...great header, great photo...particularly the way the tree seems to embrace the jail under its arm.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else, nice header and photo today.
