What an interesting post...I never knew this bit of history!!
:-D
Wow - that is quite interesting and a great choice for the theme this week.
Happy Weekend!
Very interesting I love posts with stories - I don't really have a story this week!!
Gosh, I haven't even thought of what picture I'll put up for the Hunt tomorrow...my wallet is empty, I wonder if I should use that! lol The history behind that cell is so very interesting!!! xox
How wonderful to read about, it's like we were there in person!! Fantastic hunt project.
Mine's posted.
WOW...I live in VA too. I'm going to have to get down that way to see it. Really awesome photos and very interesting too!
Mine is posted on My Photo Blog.
wow - I love this pic! It looks so european and comforting actually..
Don't ask me why I think that..
Interesting story behind it all too!
Mines up.
This room is already part of history. 1867, and the room looked so preserved.
Great idea. I love learning a little history. Thanks so much!
Great idea for the hunt and thank you for sharing some history with us too.
That's a beautiful picture..
Excellent choice for the theme and very informative too. I hope you have a fantastic week.
:-)
Yes, this is a very interesting bit of history. I never knew this! Thanks for sharing. I'm intrigued.
That was interesting! Thank you.
Imagine that empty cell turned into family quarters. Talk about a renovation, lol. Great idea for this week. have a great weekend.
Great, informative take on this week's theme.
Lovely picture, and an interesting story.
Creative choice for The Hunt! Thanks for the history of it.
Hi Autumn. Thanks for visiting my photo hunt today. Sorry for my late visit because I was out the whole day.
Thanks for sharing this significant photo. It's always wonderful to learn something new about a country. A very interesting piece of history.
That was great! Thank you for the history and photos.
I've driven by that exit on the way to Williamsburg but haven't ever been there. Nice picture for this week's theme.
oh wow, I love history. How interesting. An empty cell of Jeff Davis!
This one is far too strong for me to comment -if you understand..
I am down your way often (my brother and his family live in Virginia Beach) but have never stopped there. Great pictures!
That was interesting indeed! Happy hunting. :)
I love photos of historic locations such as these, thank you for sharing!
Great picture with some very interesting history! Excellent choice for the hunt.
It doesn't look very cozy, does it?
Mine's up too :)
wow, the Photo Hunt AND a history lesson! very good job on the hunt! Thanks for visiting my dishwasher post!
Wow, what a great idea, this must be the winner of the week. Thanks for stopping by my place, see y'all soon
Wow, that is definitely the bare minimum, looks like a place for a spiritual retirement of some sort. But with the cell's history I doubt it can ever be empty as it may be full of memories.
I never knew this! Amazing what one can learn in blogs :)
Hope you have a great week!
Autumn, what a great post. It's cool that you were able to visit this place and take these photos. Thanks for sharing them and the interesting story that goes with the room.
Having read a bit of your profile, it seems we have a lot in common. I will be back soon to read some of your back posts.
thanks for the pic and the great history of it, $100.000 dollars sure was a lot of money in 1867.
thanks for visiting us too.
Thanks for sharing, very interesting stuff.
Have a great week.
Take care, Meow
For a cell that looks nice, I was thinking it's a little cold maybe but it's a nice room.
Cool place to visit.
Thanks for visiting my blog. (http://aquarius2626.blogspot.com/)
Nice Blog Header! I really like it.
Neat bit of history there.
Even though it is furnished with regular furniture it has the air of a cell.
Thanks for sharing & visiting mine.

Thanks for dropping by. Please come again often!
I am so glad you appreciated the piece on Ostara.
When it came to the contest I put the writing of the Ostara piece first, and I made my contest piece to fit around my story. So I was not upset when I got voted "off the island"
Cheers!
That is a great take on Empty. Thanks for visiting my blog.
What a great photo! That is the most take on the theme I've seen and I love the history lesson that went with it. Thanks for sharing :)
