Historic Manassas

This is one of the fascinating views on the "Archictectual Walk in Manassas" and one of many unusual buildings in Historic Old Town Manassas.

Prior to 1850, the Manassas area was composed of small farms mixed with the larger holdings of the Carters. A small community called Tudor Hall existed in what is now eastern Manassas.

A Walking Tour of Old Town Manassas includes: (pick up a brochure at the Train Depot)

1. The Defenses of Manassas and the Railroad Depot.

2. The Candy Factory

3. The Conner Opera House

4. World's First Military Railroad

5. Old Presbyterian Church

6. Civil War Forts and National Bank of Manassas

7. Old Town Hall

8. Civil War Destruction/Schools and Museum site.

9. ...and of course the Original Post Office.

Historic Manassas Post Office

Original Manassas Post Office. Built in 1906 by Judge C. E. Nichol, it housed the post office from 1906 to 1923. The building is an excellent example of Renaissance Revival architecture with its decorative brickwork in parapet, segmental arches with keystones over the windows, rusticated brickwork surrounding the doors and "POST OFFICE" in cement over the main entrance. The building was restored in 1983 by Gloria and Walter Delisle and now houses their Antique business.
