Historical Society
to restore building
THE RAPPAHANNOCK Historical Society is undertaking restoration of a small historic building on Gay Street in Washington, Va. The two-story brick building dates from the eighteenth century and is believed to be one of the earliest brick structures in the town. Society members felt it was fitting that the society begin this endeavor in the 225th anniversary year of the survey by the youthful George Washington of this county seat.
The building will serve as headquarters for Rappahannock Historical Society. The first floor will contain a display of items relating to the history of the county while the second floor serves as a conference room for meetings and discussions.
The basement area will house the society’s records and provide storage for historic items. No timetable has been charted for the completion of the restoration; however, everything will be done to expedite the project, according to James F. Massie, president of the society.
Persons desiring to aid in the restoration of this building or wishing additional information concerning the project or the Rappahannock Historical Society may contact Mr. Massie at Amissville or Mrs. Robert P. Anderson, Woodville.O
