Abingdon And The Architectural Survey Report

Architectural Survey Report - Abingdon, Virginia - December, 1998

Source - Partial Map of Abingdon, Washington, Virginia, Including Ackland

"Settlement in the area now comprising Abingdon occurred by the 1760s when several families built log houses and taverns along the Great Road. This road extended from the Shenandoah Valley into Tennessee and was one of the major conduits for westward settlement in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Early settlers...erected the nearby Black's Fort for protection...".

"...Vance's Tavern at 222 E. Main Street...is likely Abingdon's oldest existing building and it appears to date as early as 1788. This two-story log and stone building was originally a tavern and residence, and over the years has been used as a bakery, general store, and other commercial uses. At some point in the 19th century, the exterior was covered with stucco and the original windows were replaced. The interior has been remodeled several times and now houses a restaurant."
