Old Taylor Hotel, Winchester, Virginia - U.S. Civil War Sites on Waymarking.com

A large brick building, its ground floor occupied by a chain store, retains many-columned verandas on its second and third stories. As the Coffee House, McGuire's Tavern, the General Washington, and as Taylor's Hotel, it was a center of business and social life for 150 years. During the Civil War, the building was occupied by Confederate and Union officers. "Stonewall" Jackson had temporary headquarters here, and General Banks used it at one time as a hospital. Burned in 1845 and rebuilt three years later, it was maintained by various owners until closed in 1905. Among its guests were Washington, John Marshall, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.
