Other stuff:
purcell_03 (enlarge) This is a photo (taken 22-August-2009) of what I beleive was the building that housed Purcell & Littlejohn's Pharmacy. Washington Post articles say the pharmacy was across from the courthouse, and this is indeed one of the buildings across from the courthouse. I further narrowed it down to this building by looking at an old photo hanging in the Loudon County Museum in downtown Leesburg.
