In and Of Historic Winchester


We happened to find this mural outside a parking garage in Winchester, Virginia. It depicts some of the city's historic buildings. Let's start at the far left and take a closer look. 


I believe the church on the left (above) is the Lutheran Church that I showed last month. It's not far from this mural.


On the left of this image is another building I have shared here, the Handley Library.


This must be George Washington's Office, from a time when he was young and not yet famous.  A plaque on the upper corner tells us who created the mural.
