Fairfax Hall, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
Fairfax Hall is a building in Waynesboro, Virginia, constructed in 1890 in Queen Anne style and originally operated as the Brandon Hotel. The structure features a central cupola, corner towers, and an extended front porch that defines its Victorian character.
The building was designed in 1890 by architect William M. Poindexter from Washington, D.C., and emerged during a resort boom in the Shenandoah Valley driven by railroad expansion. In the 1920s it was renamed and converted into a girls school offering preparatory education and junior college courses.
The name Fairfax Hall was adopted in the 1920s when the building took on new purpose. The structure displays Victorian details that reflect its role as a gathering place for travelers and its later use as an educational institution.
The building stands in a location with good proximity to parks, shops, and services in the surrounding area. Visitors should respect the privacy of residents as this is an occupied residential building.
After decades of neglect, the building was recently renovated and converted into senior housing, merging historic preservation with modern living space. The restoration preserved the Victorian facade while repurposing the former grand ballroom as a community gathering space for residents.
