This house in Winchester, Virginia, was the headquarters of General Thomas J. ("Stonewall") Jackson, CSA, during the winter of 1861 - 62. At the time Jackson was in command of the Valley District of Virginia.

Good Morning George, This is a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a nice weekend.
Such a pretty home...Have a great weekend George!!!
Jackson was in command of the valley District of Virginia; you are in command of the same place right now. You have captured it.
What a grand old house. I would love to visit this area with all its history.

P.S. As far as I know the Quonquont Farm (from my post) is still in business. They have a website, http://www.quonquont.com/, if you want to take a look. Have a great weekend :)
Thanks for the interesting photo!
what a nice home it is. thanks for sharing it with us (the picture and its story) Have a great weekend.
you know from all my comments I love old houses. this one is special
Would they let you in? You know by now that this is always the first question I ask when I see a building of any kind on someone's blog! Someone should plant some flowers, too.
I'm with Ginny - could you go in?
Just thinking he actually spent time in the house is pretty awesome.
Isn't Winchester a quaint little town. We've passed through a couple of times on the way to see our son.
Looks so peaceful I can imagine it during those times.
What a lovely, old stately home. I am sure it holds a lot of great things and memories.
What a lovely house! It must have been a delight to live there. I noticed that I should brush up my knowledge of American history!
Have a great weekend!
It is so good that your important buildings. New Zealand is very young, and when Edmund Hillary died, they donated his house, but the government didn't want to take it.
This looks like a lovely home.I would like to see the interior.

That War. Every time I come South, I feel the pain from a different perspective.
What a beautiful place. I wonder what it looked like and if the original owners got it back after the war. MB
Stonewall Jackson was a most interesting individual, to say the least. Great Photo.
