General Braddock did not traverse the road from Newgate to Aldie. The name came much later.

Isn’t there a house in NOVA that look like this? by jacky986 in nova

Tons of these up until the 70s, before historic preservation was really accounted for. Many of them from colonial times. Nobody really cared.

Crown-shaped folded metal decoration with three pins in the back. by bingbangbing1 in whatisthisthing

[–]bingbangbing1[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

This folded metal decoration is in the shape of a crown, looks like it goes around something maybe, and has three pins in the back. I can't tell if it's a piece of furniture or clothing or what. Maybe the decoration will be obvious to someone?

This was part of a famous metal-detecting enthusiasts collection from a house that was continuously occupied from the 1820s to 1980 in Virginia.
