It is the Martha Washington Inn in Abingdon, Virginia. Built in 1832 for a home of retired Gen. Robert Preston and was named after the First lady of our Nation. Many changes over the years to include a hospital during Civil War and a nursing school. Closed in 1932 due to depression for several years and reopened in 1935 as a hotel. It received a complete renovation in 1984 with continued upgrades from then to present......Quick story on the pic. I pulled in there with the Power Wagon and man came out in tuxedo and ask if he could help me. I ask him if he might need the Power Wagon to be part of their chauffeur fleet and he just got a blank stare on his face and finally said "Sir i don't know what to say"
