  • An Evolved Understanding: an Examination of the National
    AN EVOLVED UNDERSTANDING: AN EXAMINATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE’S APPROACH TO THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AT CHATHAM MANOR, FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Olivia Holly Heckendorf August 2019 © 2019 Olivia Holly Heckendorf ii ABSTRACT Chatham Manor became part of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in December 1975 after the death of its last private owner, John Lee Pratt. Constructed between 1768 and 1771, Chatham Manor has always been intertwined with the landscape and has gained significance throughout its 250-year lifespan. With each subsequent owner and period of time Chatham Manor has gained significance as a cultural landscape. Since its acquisition in 1975, the National Park Service has grappled with the significance and interpretation of Chatham Manor as a cultural landscape. This thesis provides an analysis of the National Park Service’s ideas of significance and interpretation of the cultural landscape at Chatham Manor. This is done through a discussion of several interpretive planning documents and correspondences from the staff of the National Park Service, including interpretive prospectuses, a general management plan, and long-range interpretive plan. In addition, the influence of both superintendents and staff is taken into consideration. Through the analysis of these documents, it was realized that the understanding of cultural landscapes is continuing to evolve within the National Park Service. In the 1960s and 1970s Chatham Manor was considered significant and interpreted almost solely for its association with the Civil War.

  • 1 Decorative Tile and Terracotta Exports by British Manufacturers, 1840
    Decorative tile and terracotta exports by British manufacturers, 1840-1940 Lynn Pearson Towards the end of the eighteenth century Liverpool-made printed delftware tiles were exported to America where they were used in colonial houses.1 Another early architectural ceramic export, in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, was Coade stone, with many commissions from the East India Company and a speculative venture carried out by Mrs Coade’s works manager William Croggon, who shipped eleven cases of mixed figures and animals to the West Indies in 1816.2 However, following the demise of the Coade factory during the 1830s, the history of the British architectural ceramic and tile export trade becomes more difficult to discern due to the lack of relevant archival material.3 It is known, for instance, that Minton’s of Stoke-on-Trent had a substantial foreign trade in tiles, with a significant number of commissions from Europe, America, India, Australia and New Zealand, but there is no detail in the Minton archives concerning the bulk of these contracts.4 This article attempts to outline the extent of this British export trade during 1840-1940 and describe some of the major foreign architectural commissions obtained over that century by British ceramics manufacturers. Early Minton tile exports Having exported earthenware since the 1790s, Minton’s began to produce encaustic tiles in the 1830s and exported them before 1850, initially to Europe and then worldwide; some of the first Minton tiles in Australia were used at one of
