| | Berryville began in the 18th century as a crossroads settlement that was originally known as Battletown, named by Major Charles Smith to commemorate his participation in the Revolutionary War. His family home, The Nook, still stands at 106 East Main Street. Built in the mid-18th century, it is thought to be the oldest residence in Berryville.
| | When Major Smith died, the estate was divided among his four children, one of whom sold a portion of land to Benjamin Berry and his daughter, Sara Scribling. Berry subdivided 20 acres into 66 building lots and petitioned the Virginia General Assembly for a town charter, which was granted on January 15, 1798. Today the town has grown to approximately 941 acres, and boasts a variety of commercial and residential buildings representative of its 200-year heritage. The current town population is about 3,000 persons, and is included in the county population of approximately 14,000. ---Information provided courtesy of the Clarke County Historical Association.
| | History of 211 S. Church Street and Its Owners
| | The Lost Dog was open for business on March 15, 1999. Before that, the house was home to many families.
| | The land was purchased from the Crow Family in 1884, and the first owner, Mrs. Nannie B. McGuire had the home built for herself and her two daughters. She passed the house on to her daughters Nannie W. McGuire and Evelyn P. McGuire in 1908.
| | The McGuire family kept the home 42 years until 1926 when Dr. William Edward McGuire of Richmond sold to J. B. Donovan who made improvements to the property early in 1929, including closing in the back porch (we found newspapers from July 1929 in the walls during our renovations in 1998).
| | The home was next sold to Ernest Woodworth in 1950, and later to Mae Withers. In 1972 Mr. and Mrs. John Carr bought the home for their family, Chris & Peter. It was purchased from their estate in 1997 and after renovations was opened as a Bed and Breakfast in March 1999.
