McAllister/Georgetown/New Scotland Capitol - 002
NEW SCOTLAND - MCALLISTER/GEORGETOWN/NEW SCOTLAND CAPITOL - 002
Today, I will be presenting northern Dumfries, and the New Scotland Capitol building.
Immediately north downtown Dumfries is the neighborhood of McAllister, named for the banker who originally developed the land in the late 1800s. Many of the homes in this neighborhood date back to the 1950s or even earlier. As stated in the teaser, many of Dumfries' and New Scotland's most elite citizens live in this neighborhood.
Late in the afternoon and early in the morning, rush hour hits Valley Avenue before it goes into downtown Dumfries. Like in McAllister, the houses along Valley Avenue are older when compared to some of the newer buildings in downtown.
A few blocks south of McAllister is the neighborhood of Georgetown. Located near the heart of Dumfries, Georgetown is home to many boarding houses, which are rented out by New Scotland lawmakers during legislative sessions. The local HOA has tried in vain to get the Westmoreland Jewelry Store (bottom left) to remove the palm tree in the front lawn.
Built in 1876, the New Scotland capitol has been home to both houses of the New Scotland legislature and the offices of the Governor of the State ever since. Tours are available at 10am, 12pm and 2pm.
