Thursday Thirteen

These are random shots from around my community.

This is a monument to the Painter Chapel, which a long time ago was a church in
the Catawba area. I am descended from the Painters who donated the land
for the church.

This is the county courthouse.

This is called the Douglass Building. It once was a salon/tavern/hotel.

This is called the "Old Jail" and it was used as a library for a long time. It now
houses the local chamber of commerce.

This sign details the fire that burned down the courthouse in 1970.

This is called the Godwin Cottage.

This is a gazebo in the park in Fincastle.

These are very old graves at the Presbyterian cemetery.

This is a house in Fincastle and it has a name but I can't remember what it is right now.

This is the former Fincastle Baptist Church. It is now a private residence.

This is the town of Fincastle. The photo was taken from the Godwin Cemetery.

This is the former Troutville High School building. It is now an auction house.

This is a bank building in Troutville.
