This
sunset view of McPherson’s Ridge shows the much-improved view of General Lee’s
headquarters. With Larson's Quality Inn and Appalachian Brewing Company removed, the old
brownstone house stands out beside Route 30, just as it should. Other historic
structures on this photo include the Krauth House (the brick home at center
right) and the Lutheran Theological Seminary chapel (which doesn’t date from
the battle, but is still impressive). Gettysburg at sunset . . . it has a
beauty all its own.
