The Captain's House
 This site was part of the lot at the corner of Second and Patrick Streets until 1904. Andrew McGavack (1868-1934) purchased the land in 1906 and hired Arch Simpson of Purcellville to construct this Queen Anne-style home. The house exhibits many features typical of the Victorian era: imbricated roof shingles, asymmetrical form, a wraparound porch with scroll brackets, and exuberant color. Notice that the first floor exterior wall of the house itself echoes the curve of the porch. |

 Monroe Hough House
In 1887, Andrew Monroe Hough (1852-1915), a local merchant, purchased from his parents, Samuel and Mary, lots 20 and 26 of Janney's New Addition. 'Roe Hough built this frame house soon after and it remained in his family until 1944. The current owners enlarged the building in 1982. |

 Old Waod
This is another building that looks older than it actually is. In the 1970s, the owner constructed it using discarded railroad ties from the defunct Washington & Old Dominion Railroad, hence the name. The structure served as storage space for the house behind it on Main Street but recently has been made into a home. |
