Old Sperryville Bookshop
The Old Spenyville Bookshop is intriguing just on the outside, before any books can be seen. It is a former Episcopal church, built in 1902 and closed in 1955. After serving as the home for a few assorted congregations and businesses, the building opened as a bookshop in 1998 under the ownership of Jim and Joan Gannon. Current owner Nancy Ostinato bought the store in August 2003,' and has been operating the store on the weekends ever since. The interior of the Old Sperryville Bookshop preserves the original chinch interior, with a high ceiling, sunlight filtered in through long church windows, and pews serving as bookshelves.
“I always just loved books and bookstores. . . . Once I walked in and saw this building, I was sold,” explained Nancy.
