"A destination hotel through the early 1900's, it also served as the Federal Courthouse. The brick building was built after the great fire of 1870 which started in the hotel stable. The earlier hotel was a wooden structure." ...taken from Historic Fincastle ...linking with Signs, Signs
Sunday was a beautiful spring day so I took a walk through Godwin Cemetery in Fincastle. I noticed this old truck, with a fence in front! Linking with Signs, Signs

ReplyDeleteFine old court house sign and building. Love the old Chevy pickup. It might be a 1946 or 47. They all looked the same in those post war years. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photos, clearly a lovely quaint old building and what a truck too!
ReplyDeleteI love that old truck...and today my fence shot has an old truck in it, too.
ReplyDeleteThe place really has a lot of appeal. That old brick really works well.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos.
ReplyDeleteA branch of my family made their way through your area over the years and settled in SW VA. I enjoyed the photo of the government building.
Nice period pieces.
ReplyDeleteAh that first one is an absolutely gorgeous image of a beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking building in that first shot (which also has a fence). Cool old car. - Sure missed you last week for WNF5.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking building and a great old truck
ReplyDeleteSo what is the purpose of this building now? Do they give tours, is it like a museum? It would make a wonderful house for a family.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous old building! Sounds like it has had quite a history. So has that old truck, I bet. Terrific photos!

ReplyDeleteLovely old building! Have you ever noticed home many structures were lost to fire in the "good ol' days"? And that old truck - it will be sweet as cream when it's fully rstored!
ReplyDeleteI love the brick building! And it has that nice balcony/terrace thing too.
ReplyDeleteThe shot with the old truck is great!
ReplyDeleteWow! That doesn't look like any court building you'd see today. Nice old place! Love the truck!
ReplyDeletePretty cool truck!
ReplyDeleteLove that truck.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Love the truck too.
ReplyDeleteLove that old truck. I've seen Fincastle on a sign somewhere in our travels. It's been a long time, though.
