Counting House

The county has owned the 1840s-era building on the corner of Gordon Street and River Road since 2006.  The Counting House is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and sits within the Falmouth Historic District, which is already on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.  The Counting House was likely used as a warehouse or storage building when it was first constructed. The Counting House is one of the last remnants of that very busy time when Falmouth was a very big shipping point.
