Wells Avenue in Roanoke, Virginia, March 2026

There is just something about Virginia skies, even during a frigid March day.

That antiquated building you see is the historic Hotel Roanoke, the original iteration of which was erected in 1882 (before being rebuilt).

The Hotel Roanoke.

Originally built in 1882.  I thought it would be fun to include a 1910 photo beneath the shot I took tonight.

The hotel is … owned and operated by Virginia Tech?  I did not know that.
