Virginia Metalcrafters Historic District

The Virginia Metalcrafters Historic District spans 9.4 acres, featuring a large multi-section brick factory and several outbuildings at 1010 East Main Street.

Founded in 1890 as the Waynesboro Stove Company by William J. Loth, the district operated as Virginia Metalcrafters from 1925 until 2006.

The factory produced metal reproductions for major institutions including Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, and the Smithsonian Institute using traditional sandcasting techniques.

The complex now houses Basic City Beer Co, Common Wealth Crush winery, and other local businesses in the renovated manufacturing spaces.

Craftsmen at this facility created items in bronze, iron, aluminum, brass, and pewter, supplying decorative pieces to museums across the United States.
