Welcome to Danville Daily Photo (DDP)!
For my first post I'd like to show you probably the most famous landmark of the town. This is a gorgeous Italianate home that has an interesting history and has served as a residence, a public library, and a museum. Its current incarnation is the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History but its claim to fame is the fact that it was the last Capital of the Confederacy. Jefferson Davis (The President of the CSA) lived here temporarily in 1865 for only 8 days prior to the end of the Civil War on 10 April.
