The Fairfield Store in Fairfield, Virginia - near Lexington
The old frame and plaster building, built in the early 1900's, was most recently the home of an antique business. Early black and white photos of Fairfield show that it was originally a Texaco gas station, complete with oversize Texaco star, old-timey gas pumps and even "his" and "hers" outhouses (we've kept the outhouses for history's sake). Rt. 11 was, at that time, a dirt road. The photo's reveal that along Rt. 11 there were hitching posts for folks who were still using horses to traverse the Valley. Research has revealed that the store was a local hang-out of sorts - where the area hot-rodders met to swap stories and catch up on current events.

The store has been renovated and upgraded. It is approximately 1,200 square feet, has oak floors, plaster walls and 10 foot ceilings. Located in the Shenandoah Valley in the village of Fairfield, just outside historic Lexington, it is convenient to both Staunton and Lexington. Roanoke is less than an hour's drive.

The village of Fairfield is rife with history. As Lexington is just minutes up "the Great Wagon Road", confederate soldiers surely marched just in front of the store on their way up North. Records show that the local militia who fired the first shot at the battle of Gettysburg met just across the street. Lexington is home to the Virginia Military Institute, Washington and Lee University, Stonewall Jackson's house, the Virginia Horse Center and a large number of historical sites. Hot Springs, the baths at Warm Springs, Goshen Pass and Natural Bridge are all within easy driving distance. The property is conveniently located five minutes from I-81, thirty minutes from I-64 and a half hour from Roanoke. The neighborhood post office, elementary school, churches and market are all within walking distance of the store.

The store is available as a long term rental for $500.00 per month.
