In the Fair City of Winchester

Little Things Thursday and Fences.
The Hexagon House was completed in 1873. It is owned by the nearby Museum of the Shenandoah Valley.


Winchester features a walking mall which is popular for public gatherings. It has a number of restaurants and shops.

The stone steps and little building attracted me. I believe this is privately owned.

The final image is near Shenandoah University. I was running some errands in Winchester one afternoon and saw that the sunset was going to be pretty. Where to get a good view? Oh, a friend had recently taken a picture of the duck pond at dusk, so that seemed like a good place to try. Yep!

I'll take my bow and sign off now.

    1. No, but a friend says she has been inside on a special tour. I hope they'll open it again, or perhaps I can get permission to enter the property and get pictures from a different angle.

  10. Although I enjoy historic houses, that sunset photo is so beautiful that it's the one I focused on. Our local community college demolished a historic building called the Alms House a couple or three years back - people fought for years to save it but their efforts were eventually unsuccessful.
