back in november thre was a picture of this bldg on e-bay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5531738729
i guess the picture does not show up any more..
it shows how it looked in 1896--i am checking with the seller
to see if he has any images of it...and maybe the buyer to
see the same thing...the proprietor of the Hotel was Joseph
Parkinson. ooh this is an exciting sllice of history come alive!
get yourself a peregrine falcon to keep those pidgeons in check!
I have not found the hotel yet but here is the Courthouse, 1906.

I'll be willing to bet that the Page County Heritage Association
would have assistance for you or advice. They seem to be connected
to the genealogical society http://www.rootsweb.com/~vagspc/pcgs.htm
hey maybe you want to read this book...in your spare time...a teacher
from over in Louisa wrote it..
Louisa County High School English teacher Ed Buhrer will be signing copies of his newest novel, Blue Ridge High, at the high school on January 22 from 10:00am to 1:00pm . This novel is a sequel to his first book Luray, published in 2003. Books will be available for purchase at the event, with money raised to be donated to the school's National Honor Society.

Wishing you good fortune in you new adventure as landlord. I have fond memories of Luray. One of the few family trips with uncles, aunts, and cousins was to the Luray Caverns many, many years ago. Most of our family gatherings outside of Southampton County were at Sunken Meadow on the James River. Leaving the piedmont for the mountains was indeed a treat and my first venture into the Blue Ridge.

Yeah, greg, The Dukes of Hazzard musuem which is owned and mangaed by Cooder hisself is right over the Blue Ridge in Sperryville. My couzin Rufus takes his annual one day vacation over there, swappoing lies and spittin' in the parking lot...

Ahhhhh, Rap. I see you have been rereading your old copy of "Animal Farm"...

Thanks, open mike, fir all the research... Yeah, too bad the pic was no longer there but in a way, that's good, since if you all say what it looks like today you would think I waz nuts...

Well, another big day down in Luray (Hmmmmm, maybe a song in there?) today. To add to the hotel, I've bought the 4th oldest building in Luray, an 1804 building that has an upstarirs apartment, commercial on the 1st floor and a nice little commercial store in the basement.

Spending money that I really don't have is hard work... But here's the part that Dougie will love and porlly provide him with lots of ammo. When my porperty settles in Leesburg, buy reinvesting in "like" (commerical) properries thru a 1031 exchange, I won't have to pay the taxes on the capital gain...

But, now I don't want anyone to think that this ol' hillbilly is rich 'er nuthin'... Yeah, on the way home tonight in my ol' Toyoter the P-Vine and I were talking about maybe being to actually buy a newer car but after we went over the nummers, they still don't work? What's wrong with this picture?

You won't have to pay taxes on the Capital gain? Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Bobert, (scuse) Mr. Hilton, as a devout progressive, you should insist on paying them! Otherwise, you are surely a Republican in sheep's clothing!
