Point of Honor is a mansion in Lynchburg, Virginia. The 1815 Federal mansion above the James—Lynchburg’s finest view. HauntHunt files it with local folklore and haunted places.

The dossier keeps the place and the story in the same record — which is what the archive is for.

Point of Honor is the mystery — the 'Honor' that's the name's unknown, the 'no duel' that's the record's blank. The 'octagonal' is the shaped — the 'bays' that's the front's push, the 'Federal' that's the style's mark. The 'book built' is the sourced — the 'Biddle's patterns' that's the design's root, the 'carpenter's assistant' that's the guide's name.
The 'died months' is the paired — the 'William Eliza' that's the '30 loss, the 'inherited' that's the Daniel's gain. The 'stucco stripped' is the peeled — the '1841' that's the cover's date, the 'restored back' that's the '70s' choice. Point of Honor is the used — the 'recreation' that's the '28 role, the 'museum' that's the '77's open.
The file keeps Point of Honor: the mystery name, the octagonal bays, the book design, and the paired deaths.
Point of Honor is the archive's Virginia file — the house named for something no one recorded.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
