I attended a WW2 veteran's reunion back in 2008 and we stayed in the hotel just up the street(to the right in the first photo). I "discovered" the train station on my first walk to get breakfast in that same block---I think it was right down the tracks.
It wasn't open for a visit so I never got to take a peak inside except through the windows.

Even though the information we had said it would be open , it was closed when we got there . We were able to see the old jail .

Yeah, right on King Street. I have lived in Chambersburg since October 2012 and have never visited it or the jail. Probably a mistake. Been over to Gettysburg a lot.

The Gordon-Lee Mansion is located in Chickamauga, Georgia and was originally referred to as the Gordon residence. Construction began in 1840 and was not completed until 1847 due to labor and financial issues.Wikipedia

Cravens House on the north side of Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, TN.
Battle of Lookout Mountain began with General Walthall's Mississippi brigade of 1500 men facing three Union divisions. Walthall's fell back to this position where he was reinforced and held this position until night-fall.
The Cravens House was pretty much dismantled for shelter and fire wood during those cold winter months and was destroyed after the battle.
