Courthouse Sunrise

Dawn's early light casts a soft glow on the Washington County Courthouse in Abingdon, Virginia. Three earlier courthouses stood on this site, the first constructed in 1800. The present courthouse, built in 1868, replaced the previous that was burned during the Civil War during the infamous Stoneman Raid of 1865. This was the only courthouse built during reconstruction in Virginia. The building has four Greek Doric Columns, and an Italianate cornice and tower.
