Firehouse_DSC_3556

John Brown's final holdout against US Marines was in this firehouse. His plan to steal 100,000 guns from the local armory and lead a slave rebellion in 1859 failed. George Washington sited the armory here at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers in 1794.

I like this; the composition is just right.

And I'm sure you read that it was Col. R. E. Lee who led the group of marines to HF to put down the uprising?
