The Joshua Wilson House in Harrisonburg, Virginia

 

Today was short road trip day to Harrisonburg, Virginai.  I spotted this beautiful old Victorian home that looked like it must have a history of some sort - and it does.  Rather than go into it here, just clidk the link.  Their web site gives a wonderful history of the journey from wealthy guy's home to boarding house to Toga Toga frat house to beautiful B&B with a fabulous restaurant - owned and run by former James Madison University students who just couldn't leave Harrisonburg. And meet the chef!

What a great weekend getaway - it's less than 3 hours from DC.

Sounds like you were treking in my neighborhood, Pat.  I was hanging out down in Basye today.  Just about 30 mins from H'burg and that house.  I've been by it many times.

Mike, what a sweet town!  Dick's son is a student at James Madison, and we were helping him get moved in.

Pat,

Beautiful house. Looks like it should be the central character in a movie. :)

We have a home in Tarpon Springs that looks like the twin of this one, Pat. Very beautiful. Love the house.

Hi Pat, thanks for sharing the great shot of the Joshua Wilson House, the cone shape roof reminds me of the Harry Potter wizard building.
