Old Town Spring, Winchester, VA

Description

The Old Town Spring was built in 1756 as part of Col. James Wood’s Glen Burnie Estate. In 1808, the water supply from this spring was only a few years behind Philadelphia in the construction of a wooden pipe system built to provide water to the town residents. Today the structure is owned and maintained by the City of Winchester,VA. The structure is brick with a stone foundation; since I pass by it most days, I thought it should be captured in watercolor.
