Shepherd also said, “Washington has a wealth of historic buildings. It doesn’t cost the owners anything to apply. It’s a good way to show the heritage of the town and have it recognized.”
For any future historic ordinance, Shepherd suggested that all elevations of a structure, not just the front, be considered. Shepherd noted that another factor often overlooked is the number and arrangement of a building’s original openings.
The buildings Shepherd named as strong candidates for listing include: the Stuart House, c. 1898, W. Calvert St., Harris Hollow Rd.; Presbyterian Church, now Washington Town Hall, c. 1857, 485 Gay St.; Trinity Episcopal Church, 1857, Gay St.; Jones’s Store, now Sunnyside Mercantile, c. 1835-1850, Gay St.; Washington Baptist Church and Masonic Lodge, c. 1873, 480 Gay St.; Rappahannock County Courthouse, 18331835, 238 Gay St.; First Baptist Church of Washington, c. 1880, 687 Main St.; Mt.
