Yo! ;D STILL looking for the following "establishments" shown on "old" Lynchburg, Va. painted map at the time OR before "Beale" went to Lynchburg, Va. to stay at Robert Morriss' hotel... Hoyle Tavern, Indian Queen Tavern, Bell Tavern, WES- TERN HOTEL, City Hotel, Cross Keys Tavern. I did ride by where the WESTERN HOTEL was located at the corner of 5th Street & Madison Street; it WAS the "end" of OLD FOREST ROAD, from Liberty/Bedford City & Montvale, Va. (AND up from the James River...).

;D I can "see" the "trip" Beale took, according to the BEALE PAPERS... from Montvale, Beale took GREAT WESTERN ROAD east to Liberty/Bedford City (Rt. 460); from there, he took Forest Road (Rt. 221) then "OLD" Forest Road east into Lynchburg, Va. Passing by BLACKWATER CREEK & continuing on "OLD" Forest Road to WESTERN HOTEL on 5th Street.

Yo! ;D Yep, it looks like the WESTERN HOTEL, formerly known as NICHOLS TAVERN/INN, at the WESTERN edge of Lynchburg, Va. (and the "end" of OLD Forest Road), is our "model" for Washington Hotel; I "posted" the thing about Arlington House as the "orginal site" of the Washington Hotel, because THAT is what the BEALE PAMPHLET said. NOW, it looks like a LANGHORNE guy was the "model" for Robert Morriss. Max Guggenheimer (CSA VET) brought his home from LANGHORNE. the LANGHORNE-GUGGENHEIMER HOUSE is BEAUTIFUL!!! Will "post" web-site on it later... BTW, the LANGHORNE guy was ALSO rich, then ended up in POVERTY, as James B. Ward... hmmmmmm...

Yo! ;D Today, wife & I went into Tavern/Hotel... the sense of history is AWESOME!!! Where the Chapel is today, must have been the "front desk/bar" for Beale to check into a room... door leading to staircase is behind that. Went upstairs to TWO rooms, that must have been for "overniters", etc. TWO rooms downstairs (today)... garden area in back with flat "flag-stones"... saw SOME "faded" writings; gotta go back (AND WILL...); later addition to main Tavern/Hotel wasn't "remarkable". Today the Chapel is utilized by Disciples of Christ... rest appears to be "pri- vate" ART galleries and The Festival Center.

;D Another WOWSTER! experience today; went on CHURCH STREET by the VIRGINIA Building... think it was where the "Job Print" (THE BEALE PAPERS) was "done up", and copies destroyed by fire back "in the OLD days". It would be a WONDERFUL museum now-a-days for the Beale/Beall "saga".

Rebel,
Find the owner and ask to look around, maybe all those books did not burn? Ask to look around in the basement or attic, there may be boxes of the books still there? Good Luck.

HA! That building is NOW, a Housing Complex for LOW-INCOME ppl, who need to be on the "bus-line" (for transportation). STILL seeing LOTS of former sites mentioned in the "BP" (1885).
