The late 19th century Wagener Brothers Store is in New Castle, Craig County, Virginia and is part of the New Castle Historic District. It "remains the least altered of New Castle's late-19th-/early-20th-century commercial buildings" according to nomination form for the National Register of Historic Places. It's a 2-story weatherboarded frame structure distinguished by its 2-tier porch on the front façade. A small front gable rises slightly about the standing-seam metal roof. The upper level porch shows three windows and two single-leaf doors; the bottom has two double-leaf doors with transoms but only one with vertical panes on the doors. The two lower level display windows are covered with shutters. The two levels of porch have a sawnwork balustrade and square support posts.

The original National Register listing for the historic district was in 1973 but included only a handful of structures. A boundary increase was more thorough and was entered on the National Registry June 10, 1994 with reference ID 93000497. The nomination form is located at

The Yoder-Walker House in New Castle, Craig County, Virginia, has an enviable view, situated on a hill with the town of New Castle spread out below and an expansive view of Craig Creek Valley. It’s a fascinating Queen Anne, built about 1890 by William Larose Yoder (1830-1900), formerly of Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania, who apparently came to New Castle during the 1890s to participate in the exploitation of the county's mineral reserves. He was also involved in real estate development and speculation. Later it was the residence of Ed Lee Walker, a general merchant and druggist in New Castle in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

With the numerous trees (and taken in bad light), this was a challenging house—unfortunately many details are not visible. The house is a 2-story brick structure (and according to the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP] nomination form, provided by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources [VDHR], double-pile brick, 7 course American bond with black penciling). The foundation is stone but faced with rock. It has a complex hipped roof with brick chimneys and numerous gabled dormers—the dormers sides are decorated with pressed metal sheathing in a floral pattern. The windows are 1/1 sash with segmental arched lintels, stone sills and shutters which are louvered and paneled. At the rear is a 2-story side porch with square balusters, and the upper level shows off the millwork with arched wooden spandrels and spindles. There are bay windows facing the porch and bay windows adjoining the 2-story rear porch. The porch entrance is pedimented decorated with a linear pattern inside a triangle; it’s flanked by two Doric-inspired columns on each side. The porch is a wraparound, the roof supported by a series of columns. The entry has two doors. Above the porch is a small balcony (screened in) with molded and chamfered posts and more pressed metal, this time with a diamond-pattern (a quilted look).

The nomination form also provides some information on interior details. Apparently there are also many stained-glass windows with a variety of shaped, but I didn’t see any. It is part of the New Castle Historic District (the 1993 boundary increase) National Register ID #93000497.

A strange figure of a smiling bat is attached to the porch post. The frontal façade shows this one bat plus two others, which are hanging from the ornamental scrollwork--I assume for Halloween decorations.
