15633 Factory St.

Factory St. The Loudoun County Historic District Review Committee approved the construction of this house in 1978/79.

 


Laneslea Laneslea
John Spinks, a talented carpenter from Paeonian Springs, built this house in 1902. He incorporated materials from the Lewis Hough house at the corner of Patrick and Second Streets, which had just been demolished to make way for the new headquarters of the Loudoun Mutual Fire Insurance Company. Before 1902 this lot had remained vacant. Laneslea has German siding, a metal gable roof with a cross-gable to emphasize its height, and a fanciful Victorian-style porch.

 


Mill RunMill Run
Descendants of some of Waterford's earliest families-Carr, Vandeventer and Myers- constructed this house in 1970.

 


Leslie Myers House Leslie Myers House
The lot on which this house sits was a cornfield, and conveyed with the Steer-Divine house at 15655 High Street for much of its history. In 1924 this dwelling was built for Mr. Leslie Myers. It is an American four-square, a very popular house style in the early 20th century with box-like form and four nearly equal size rooms per floor.

 


Boxwood WalkBoxwood Walk
This frame house was constructed before 1821, and traditionally conveyed with the adjacent blacksmith shop property [Coale's Blacksmith Shop on Clarke's Gap Road]. Blacksmith Lewis Coale (1793-c.1849), who arrived from Maryland in 1817, probably built the shop, and he may have built the house as well. Like most Waterford homes, it has been modified since its construction.
