Culpeper Machine and Supply Co.

Culpeper, Virginia

Built around 1900, the Culpeper Produce Company building is part of the late 19th, early 20th century commercial/industrial street-scape along Wausau Place, just a couple of blocks from the train station. The arrival of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad in 1853 spurred the growth of Culpeper into an important transportation center. Today the old Southern Railway mainline, now Norfolk Southern, runs behind these buildings.
