United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Expires 5/31/2012) Three Chopt Road Historic District Richmond, VA Name of Property Period of Significance (justification) The Period of Significance (POS) for the Three Chopt Road Historic District spans six decades from 1890 to 1950, encompassing milestone dates related to both transportation and architecture, which contribute to the historic significance of the district. Although the inaugural run of Richmond’s streetcar line was launched in 1888, it was not until 1890 that electric streetcars, although still in concert with horse-drawn cars, began to run regularly and consistently along Main Street in downtown Richmond. By 1890, contracts had been let for over two hundred street railways, as realtors, speculators, and owners of large tracts of land surrounding the city realized that streetcar lines to suburban areas would greatly induce and enhance real estate and development profits. In the same year, Albert Warren began selling parcels of his Cool Springs Farm in Westhampton, a tract of land that would ultimately serve as collateral in the development of the Westhampton Park streetcar line and the Westhampton Amusement Park, which opened in 1901 and 1902. The year 1890 also has significance as the date of the district’s earliest post-Civil War, late nineteenth century resource, a Colonial Revival style house at 6314 Three Chopt Road (127-6064-0021). The end date of the POS, 1950, is the date of completion of St. Bridget’s Catholic Church (127-6064-0010), a Gothic Revival church designed by Thompson, Gleeson & Mulrooney, which stands adjacent to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church (1911-1928; 127-6064-0009); both church complexes face the right-of-way roadbed on which the streetcar line ran from 1901 to 1947.

  • The Site of Cuckoo Tavern Is a Significant Landmark of the Use Of
    q! I A REVOLUTIONARY TAVERN Dy Minnie ke McGehee Palmyra, Virginia The site of Cuckoo Tavern is a significant landmark of Rpvolutionary history in Louisa County. It was here that Jack Jouett, Jr. began his arduous ride to Monticello and Charlottesville to warn Jefferson and the Legislators of the approach of Tarleton's raiders. According to legend, the tavern stood abbut seven miles east of Louisa Courthouse, probably at a crossroad. It is possible that the present Route 522 once crossed the Richmond Road at this point. Today, the place known as "Cuckoo" is the junction of Routes 33,522,643. It is interesting that the name "Tavern" has survived when the recorded name of all such public houses of that day was "ordinary." The use of the name ordinary for a place to drink, eat, talk, and sometimes sleep, is English, but why it was selected for use by the colonies is difficult to discover. In England, "tavern" and "inn" were also widely used, while in Virginia county records still persisted in *ordinary" using long after "tavern" was the conversational term. In the early records, though the term ordinary was used by the county clerks for recording a license, the county justices set the prices for "tavern fare," showing that even the court used the terms interchangeably. In some colonies, the charter required the erection of both a church and an ordinary to serve the people. In the South, the plantations were larger and the villages few, and early taverns were more widelyspaced. The ordinaries were found at the county seats, at crossroads and at ferries.

Smith ABSTRACT The Virginia State Constitution of 1869 mandated that public school education be open to both black and white students on a segregated basis. In the city of Richmond, Virginia the public school system indeed offered separate school houses for blacks and whites, but public schools for blacks were conducted in small, overcrowded, poorly equipped and unclean facilities. At the beginning of the twentieth century, public schools for black students in the city of Richmond did not change and would not for many decades.
