This structure represents a portion of history in Northern Virginia. When this structure was built it was discovered this area was the site of Revolutionary-war burying ground, which meant the remains of soliders found there needed to be moved.
Despite the negative connotations to its history the evidence of what it did can still be seen not only a few blocks away but also in DC as well.
Do you Know What It Is?

Hello Cindy and with out reading your post I would have thought it was a holding tank for people, jail, or small fort that people would fight from the inside out, very interesting pic!

I thought it looked like a jail too. Wouldn't make a good converted house. Some people do that with silos.
Its either a jail or an incinerator. I am not sure.
looks like an incinerator to me, burn baby burn, this ain't no disco
I don't know that I can answer, despite having lived in Northern Virginia for ages. I'll be interested to know what the answer is.
Vegas Bob-some parts of your answer are part of the history :-)
Lizette-someone would have a hard time standing up in it.
Summitt Realty-interestlngly enough your answer has two parts of the history that tie in a bit. Heat and Jail.
Gerry-I don't think there is a disco ball inside this structure. But the burn...hot....hot...hot....does play into it.
Anne-you know it is something that until about 10 years ago I hadn't paid any attention to. One those things you see and go or sure and then forget about.
Cindy, is it a place they brought the remains of unknown soldiers and cremated them?
Cindy
Is it in Williamsburg?
Good luck and success.

Kay-no though again heat played a huge part in it's use. Follow up post today.
Lou-actually it is in Lorton VA about 25 miles south of DC.
I was just checking to see if you had revealed the answer. I'm curious as all get out to know what this structure is.
Anne-I'm going to put together an blog post to reveal the answer.
The answer to what this is Lorton VA Where Inmates Paved the Way to A New Future is posted.
