New York, N.Y. – After more than two years of building strong public support in the community, across the nation and in Congress, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) celebrates President Obama’s historic designation of Stonewall National Monument, the first national park site dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) history. To coincide with national LGBT Pride Month, and just a few days before the 47th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, President Obama today officially designated the area surrounding Stonewall Inn and Christopher Park in New York City’s Greenwich Village as our 412th national park site.
The Stonewall Jackson House, located at 8 East Washington Street in the Historic District of Lexington, Virginia, was the residence of Confederate general Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson from 1858 to 1861.
The house is a two-story, four bay, brick dwelling with a large, stone rear addition. It has a side-gable roof and interior end chimneys.
The house was constructed in 1800, by Cornelius Dorman. r. Archibald Graham purchased the house and significantly expanded it in 1845 by adding a stone addition on the rear and remodeling the front and interior to accommodate his medical practice. Dr. Graham sold the house to then-Major Thomas Jackson, a professor at the nearby Virginia Military Institute, on November 4, 1858, for $3000. It is the only house Jackson ever owned. He lived in the brick and stone house with his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.
It housed Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital from 1907 until 1954; when it was converted to a museum. In 1979 the house was carefully restored to its appearance at the time of the Jacksons' occupancy. The house and garden are owned and operated as a museum by the Virginia Military Institute from April through December. Guided tours are given daily, every half hour, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 P.M.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Lieutenant General "Stonewall" Jackson's full name was Thomas Jonathan Jackson. Jackson was given the nickname for bravery at the first Battle of Manassas (Bull Run), "standing like a stone wall." General Jackson was instrumental in the Confederate victories at Second Manassas, Antietem, and the Battle of Chancellorsville. Jackson died at age 39, as a result of "friendly fire" at Chancellorsville in 1863, after some of his own men mistook him in the darkness and shot him. His monument was unveiled on Oct. 11, 1919 sitting at the corner of Monument Avenue and the Boulevard. His statue faces North with Jackson sitting on his horse holding his reigns in his left hand and his hat in his right.
I really don't know if this building is still standing. I haven't been to Clarksburg in way too long. Hey, now I know what to do this weekend. :P

The Stonewall Building, aka the American Life Building, was built in 1940 or 1926 depending on who you ask. It has been abandoned for around 30 years.

The monument to Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson at Mannasas, Virginia. It was here, during the First Battle of Bull Run, that the nickname "Stonewall" was given to Jackson by another general.
We were out on August 11th, looking for the Perseid Meteor shower that always comes on this day of the year. Unfortunately, there was a slight mist that made viewing any meteors all but impossible.

Taken at Bull Run park. We were amazed at how comically muscular Jackson and his horse are portrayed! They appear in SuperHero style...to include the fist on Jackson's hip.

Shot in the spring of 1983 with Carena SRH500 on Kodak Kodacolor Safety film and wouldn't be surprised if it was taken with the Cosina Cosinon 135mm f/2.8 lens either.
