White Oak Tea Tavern
5690 Roanoke Road, Troutville
The Tea Tavern was once upon a time, circa 1783, the Cloyd House.
Not too far from the Tea Tavern is this:
On Shaver's Farm Road. Dalton turned up the bass in my mini-van to get all the cows attention. Apparently they are music lovers ;)
I have shown you this farm before HERE and HERE but both of those views were bovine-less!
Linking with Rubbish Tuesday which is a meme for the love of old things, not trash and The Barn Collective

Love the welcoming glow of the little lanterns!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a log cabin in such perfect condition.
ReplyDeleteDid someone say it was time for tea?! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love that little balcony.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful old building! It has so much character; how much fun it must be to live there!
ReplyDeleteTwo questions: Is the pub still operating? And what song was playing? This is a funny shot with your added musical background.
ReplyDeleteThe Tea Taver is a great name. Love the old building. The red doors are perfect. I never would have thought about turning up the music. I'm going to try that the next time one of those critters is trying to ignore me.
ReplyDeletelaughing at the cattle (and your son!) love the farmyard and that beautiful stone foundation on that place!
ReplyDeleteAt least they are not milking cows, or that bass might have frozen their milk. ;-) Love that building. I could move in there (if they let me).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful takes all of them. I did click on them and they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
That tavern is a gorgeous old building and I love the farm shot with its music loving cows.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteA great old fashioned building!

ReplyDeleteyes, it is open...and they have super good chicken salad :)
DeleteAwesome! I love the tavern building.
ReplyDeleteI could live happily in the Tea Tavern, and now that! Cows like music! is too funny, great photo.
ReplyDeleteNow that is one smart looking log building! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteInteresting stone cladding on the old wooden building
ReplyDeleteI love love LOVE this log and stone tavern!!!! Wow! That is my kind of place! How I'd LOVE to go there. Did I mention, I LOVE it?!
ReplyDeleteI'll be right over. Catching next flight to D.C.! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe reflection on the barn that makes it turn purple is fabulous. Thanks for these pictures of old buildings.
ReplyDeleteThat old tavern is just cool! Love the field full of cows.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Fantastic stone! I wonder if it was built as a tavern or converted from a house?
ReplyDelete*sigh* I could live in the tea tavern!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a beautiful building and well kept, too. Love the barn with a pasture full of cattle.
ReplyDeleteLove that house.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous log cabin/tavern, and brilliant way to get the cattle's attention! I can't help but think of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" cartoons every time I see cows! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to comment on my RT post.

So much character and beauty...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed both your subjects, neat.
ReplyDeleteDiana
So funny how all the cows are turned towards you. Makes me wonder if there's a cow disco in the field at night. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat building was certainly built to last! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny with all the cows looking your way. Lol. Thanks for linking up this week!
ReplyDeleteIt is a handsome house. Kind of unusual.
ReplyDeleteNeat log building! And I've heard before that cows like music. We could probably make a list of their top ten, starting with Blue Moo-oon...
