Abstract

"On left the old Rixey Opera House, with Second National Bank on ground floor, as well as other offices which included the Mayors Office. This old building, built in 1886, burned to the ground the night of December 3, 1912. The building was rebuilt and the bank opened here again in 1913. The Culpeper Courthouse, built in 1873, is in the background. On the right is the Gorrell Building, Dr. J.B. Gorrell opened Culpeper's first drug store here in 1854, in 1889, he remodeled the old Hill home, which was the boyhood home of Gen. A.P. Hill" -- note with photograph.
