Hawthorne and Old Town Spring is a historic home and spring located at Winchester, Virginia, United States. Hawthorne was built about 1811, and is a two-story, five-bay, Late Georgian style stone dwelling with Federal style detailing. It has a hipped roof and rear service wing added about 1840. The Old Town Spring is a brick spring house built about 1816. Also on the property are contributing stone entry gateposts and walls and a stone garage built about 1915. The spring and the early-19th-century spring house that rests above it have been owned by the City for nearly 175 years.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
