White Palace (Purcellville Post Office and Town Hall)
1908, J. E. Hampton, builder. Northwest corner of Loudoun and Depot sts.
Strategically occupying the central corner in town, this rusticated concrete block structure gains its civic presence from crow-stepped gables topped by round finals and simulated stonework. The building originally housed the post office and other commercial operations. The second-floor hall served as the town hall and a general-purpose community auditorium. The White Palace restaurant is a largely unaltered eatery that has served the community since 1908.
