History
2
Built between 1875 and 1885 at 15481 Second Street, The Tin Shop housed harness-making, tin roofing and tinware businesses and served as the post office from 1885 to 1897. The building stands over a creek that flooded periodically, once washing the postmistress and mail downstream. It was acquired by the Waterford Foundation in 1984, and an easement is held by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Its current use includes the Waterford Fair and office space.
