Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ABSTRACT PRINCESS ANNE COUNTY: A STUDY IN MATERIAL WEALTH Todd Grant Duncan Old Daninion university, 1984 Director: Dr. Peter C. Stewart This is a study of material culture in Princess Anne County, Virginia, frcm 1691 to 1823, based on court records. These docu­ ments allow the historian to determine the economic worth of a group of individuals, analyze the types of people comprising this group, categorize the types and quantities of possessions owned, and dif­ ferentiate between economic groups according to possessions and currency listed. Trends of ownership for the whole period, the deter­ mination of individual occupations, and the occupational content of the people of the county at large are also discussed. Other areas focused on included the level of literacy, the role of religion in the lives of county residents, and in what manner county residents spent their leisure time. The results demonstrate that Princess Anne County was a rural, agriculturally-oriented section of Virginia conprised of three economic groups. The conclusions suggest that Princess Anne County was similar to other areas in America of the same period.

TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.

Moss, Principal Investigator Date Dovetail Cultural Resource Group This page intentionally left blank ABSTRACT Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail) conducted a background review and windshield study associated with the preparation of a multi-phased work plan to update architectural documentation within the City of Norfolk, Virginia; the study was done between December 2019 and January 2020. The project was completed at the request of the City of Norfolk’s (the City) Department of City Planning in partnership with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) Cost Share Survey and Planning Program (Cost Share Program). The study comprised a desktop review of past survey records, reports, and associated materials in DHR’s archives and a citywide windshield survey to identify potential areas in need of resurvey or new survey, including opportunities for thematic or resource-specific survey efforts. Particular attention was paid to resources that have reached 50 years of age since the last citywide survey conducted in 1997 by Hanbury Evans Newill Vlattas & Company (HENV), as well as resources in areas targeted for redevelopment as denoted by the Norfolk Department of Economic Development or susceptible to storm surge and sea level rise flooding as outlined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maps (HENV 1997).
