Williams Ordinary Built Circa 1765 In Dumfries VA Is Not Ordinary

Williams Ordinary, Dumfries VA

In eighteenth century England and Colonial America an "ordinary" was an inn or tavern where travelers could get an ordinary meal and a night's rest. It is believed this one was built circa 1765 and designed by noted architect John Wren due to the many style similarities with Christ Church, Alexandria VA

It is not known if innkeeper, George Williams operated it, but it has had numerous names over the years including Love's Tavern and Stagecoach Inn. During the Civil War it served as a Confederate headquarters during the blockade of Washington, DC since Dumfries was a major seaport at the time.

It is no longer "ordinary" since it is believed to be the only building of its' type construction remaining in Virginia. It is now a private residence and not open to the public.

From 1801 Courthouse To Historic Church - St Paul's Haymarket VA

St Paul's Haymarket VA

In 1801 a district courthouse serving Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William Counties was built in Haymarket VA.
In 1807 the Virginia General Assembly established circuit courts in each county and ordered the building be sold
In 1809 it was sold to the Hygeia Academy (a medical college} which was a financial failure
In 1822 it was resold to William Skinker,Jr who allowed it to be used as a church by Episcopalians and Presbyterians
In 1830 he deeded it to St Paul's in memory of his wife and is the oldest church in continuous use in Prince William County.

During the Civil War it served as a hospital for Confederate troops wounded at The Battle of Manassas It was also used as a stable by Union troops, but when they torched the town of Haymarket the only thing remaining were the exterior walls requiring the sanctuary to be rebuilt

Union troops interred in the church cemetery were relocated to Arlington. The graves of 80 Confederates remain. You can learn more about this very active congregation at Saint Pauls Church Haymarket VA
