Description

Photograph of a vehicle at a service station in Woodstock Virginia.

This building stands on W. Court Street. It was constructed sometime before 1899 and housed various businesses including a bicycle shop, harness shop, and service station.

Between 1930 and 1940 it was purchased by the Town of Woodstock and used as their municipal building through the 1960s when it was converted into the Woodstock Museum. In the 2010s it once again became a privately owned commercial space.
