MAHONE'S TAVERN
COURTLAND, VA
Mahone's Tavern in Courtland, Virginia is a historic landmark that dates back to the early 19th century. Originally built in 1820, the tavern served as a popular stop for travelers along the stagecoach route between Norfolk and Petersburg. The tavern was named after its original owner, William Mahone, a prominent figure in Virginia's history as a Confederate general and railroad builder.
The two-story brick building features a traditional colonial design with a central doorway flanked by windows on either side. The interior of the tavern has been restored to reflect its original appearance, with wooden beams, a cozy fireplace, and period furnishings.
Today, Mahone's Tavern is operated as a museum and event space, showcasing the history of Courtland and the surrounding area. Visitors can explore the tavern's various rooms, including the dining area, parlor, and guest rooms. The tavern also hosts special events, such as historical reenactments, craft fairs, and community gatherings.
Mahone's Tavern is a beloved local landmark and a reminder of Courtland's rich history and heritage. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of William Mahone and the early settlers of Southampton County.

[A series of 5 photos] The structure no longer exists, having been demolished sometime after 2019, when it's listed as part of the Courtland Historic District on the National Register. This wooden 2-story commercial building dates from circa 1880 and was in Courtland, Southampton County, Virginia.
The gable roof, pedimented on the front facade, has a diamond shaped vent, possibly louvered; a similar vent is on the rear. Brackets are in the cornice. Three asymmetrically placed windows are on the second level, each with an interesting lintel of 6 sections diminishing in size as it approaches the window, as in a corbelling pattern. The wood here is also in a herring-bone pattern. There are 2 recessed entrances to the building. each with double wood doors with a vertical pane of glass in each; two large panes are in the transom above each entry. The display windows are larger on the right are generally larger than those on the left. As the windows face the recessed entrance, they are not as large. The foundation is brick with pigeon hole acute angle corners as it enters into the recess. The side facades contain 3 windows. The rear has a pair of windows in the gable and a set ot 2 large wooden doors. Also at the rear is a sort of porch with shed roof supported by round metal posts.
I wonder if the building may have had 2 phases of construction; there's a clear division indicated by a vertical wooden band on the 2nd story. In addition, the window layout at street level on the left is definitely different from the right. For years I've been trying to find out when the recessed entry began appearing on stores. This circa 1880 structure is one of the earliest I've seen. I lived in Courtland from 1974 to 1986 and barely noticed this building
