Commercial Building (II) AA-1820 32-34 Market Space Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland Between 1885 and 1891 Private The building at 32-34 Market Space was constructed between 1885 and 1891 by Joseph S.M. Basil, the owner of a general store and lumber business who maintained his shop at neighboring 28-30 Market Space (AA-1819). The narrow Italianate-style building replaced the western center unit of a four-part building known as Factor's Row that was erected in 1771 by Charles Wallace. Prominent owners and merchants occupying this portion of Factor's Row included Thomas Harwood, the family of John T. Barber, and J. Wesley Robinson. In October 1883, most of Factor's Row including 32-34 Market Space was destroyed by fire. Within a few years, after having rebuilt 28-30 Market Space, Joseph Basil oversaw construction of the new three-story brick building with commercial space on the first floor and two floors of residential housing at 32-34 Market Space. Basil, despite his commercial successes, was forced to sell all of his property when he defaulted on several mortgages. Throughout the twentieth century, under the ownership of just four families, the building has been home to Greenwald's Packing Corp., Gottlieb's Clothing Store for women, a men's clothing store known as Wilkens Inc., Britches Great Outdoors, and most recently, a silver jewelry store known as Blanca Flor. The three-story building is set on a solid masonry foundation of brick (not visible) and is constructed of brick laid in six-course Flemish bond. Although painted, the brick reveals reconstruction of the openings with its random coursing on the upper two stories. The building has a narrow rectangular plan augmented by an original three-story ell. The sloping flat roof is not visible, framed by metal coping with a plain wood raking board. The ornate facade reflects the building's Italianate style influences. The storefront, an original feature that has been altered, projects slightly from the plane of the facade. Due to substantial alterations that included the removal of the interior second floor, the interior now provides an open commercial space with a two-story height and third- floor storage and office space.

Summary Description The three-story commercial building, originally containing domestic space on the upper floors, was constructed sometime between 1885 and 1891 by Joseph S.M. Basil at 32-34 Market Space. The building is set on a solid masonry foundation of brick (not visible) and is constructed of brick laid in six-course Flemish bond. Although painted, the brick reveals reconstruction of the openings with its random coursing on the upper two stories. The building has a narrow rectangular plan augmented by an original three-story ell. The sloping flat roof is not visible, framed by metal coping with a plain wood raking board. The ornate facade reflects the building's Italianate style influences. The storefront, an original feature that has been altered, projects slightly from the plane of the facade. Due to substantial alterations that included the removal of the interior second floor, the interior now provides an open commercial space with a two-story height and third-floor storage and office space. Site Description ) The building at 32-34 Market Space is set directly on the brick sidewalk overlooking Market Space and Market House Plaza. Head-on parking is located beyond the brick sidewalk in front of the commercial building. It is flanked to the northeast by the three-story brick building at 28-30 Market Space (AA-1819), which was constructed for Joseph S.M. Basil in 1884 following the destruction of Factor's Row (see AA-596) in 1883. The two-story commercial building at 36-38 Market Space (AA-1821) abuts the building on the southwest side. This building was constructed in 1884 for William Iglehart following the fire, and substantially enlarged at the rear and renovated on the facade in 1937. The rear of the property is reached via Schwarer Alley, which is accessed from Cornhill Street. The northwestern end of the lot is paved with gravel and serves as private parking for the commercial store. Detailed Description The building at 32-34 Market Space rises three stories in height on a solid foundation that is not visible. The brick structure is constructed of five-course Flemish bond that has been painted, thus obscuring alterations to the fenestration on the facade. This includes the application and removal of a three-sided, canted oriel window on the second story. Piercing the center bay, the oriel had a shallow hipped roof and was pierced by double- hung window openings on all three sides. The Sanborn maps and historic photographs show the oriel was not original, rather added between 1891 and 1895. It was removed by 1903.x The first story of the commercial building has a recessed cant, single store arrangement. The slightly projecting storefront, which is has been altered since originally constructed, is constructed of wood frame holding large panes of fixed glass. The expansive openings are framed at the sides by Tuscan pilasters with square-edged ' Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, 1885, 1891, 1897, and 1903; Marion E.

AA-1820 Historic Properties Form Joseph S.M. Basil Commercial Building (II) Continuation Sheet Number 7 Page 2 surrounds framing the interior edge and transom. Covered by a flat roof (material not visible), the projecting storefront has an ornate Italianate-style entablature composed of a wide plain frieze, molded architrave, and ogee-molded cornice. The center light of the three-part storefront, over the entry opening, holds a wood sign that reads "BLANC FLOR SILVER JEWELRY." It is illuminated by small spot lights of metal set to either side on the surrounds. The recessed entry has a poured concrete floor with canted storefront fixed show windows. The wide, single-leaf door has a wood frame supporting a single, fixed rectangular light. The replacement door is crowned by a single-light, fixed transom. The second and third stories are symmetrically fenestrated with three double-hung windows. The windows on the second story are elongated, while those on the third story are standard size. Each holds a 1/1 wood sash with torus-molded surrounds and soldier brick jack arches. The openings are completed by a narrow wood sill. The highly ornate Italianate-style entablature stretches the width of the facade. Constructed of wood, the entablature begins with a torus-shaped architrave with nebuly molding at the base. The frieze has sawn panels at the center, edged at the top by bolection molding. Dentil molding is set below the slightly projecting torus molding onto which the scrolled modillions rest. The fluted modillions are set in an alternating pattern of paired brackets to three modillions.

Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

The Jamestown colonists also established the first representative legislature in America in 1619. Virginia became a colony in 1624 and entered the union on June 25, 1788, the tenth state to do so. Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, the “Virgin Queen” and is also known as the “Old Dominion.” King Charles II of England gave it this name in appreciation of Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War of the mid-1600s. Virginia is designated as a Commonwealth, along with Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. In 1779, the capital was relocated from Williamsburg to Richmond. The cornerstone for the Virginia Capitol Building was laid on August 18, 1785, and the building was completed in 1792. Modeled after the Maison Carrée at Nîmes, France, the Capitol was the first public building in the United States to be built using the Classical Revival style of architecture. Thomas Jefferson designed the central section of the Capitol, including its most outstanding feature: the interior dome, which is undetectable from the exterior. The wings were added in 1906 to house the Senate and House of Delegates. In 2007, in time to receive the Queen of England during the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, the Capitol underwent an extensive restoration, renovation and expansion, including the addition of a state of the art Visitor’s Center that will ensure that it remains a working capitol well into the 21st Century.

    ASA scseehH'-/ MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. IV. JUNE, 1909. No. 2 EAELY CAREER OF GOVERNOR FRANCIS NICHOLSON. CHAELES WILLIAM SOMMERVILLE. From Downholme, an obscure village of Eichmondshire in the North Riding of the County of York, came to America the founder of Annapolis and Williamsburg, of King William's School and William and Mary College, the Colonial administrator and "governor of governors," patron of schools and of religion, Francis Nicholson, whose long and varied activity makes him a conspicuous figure in American colonial history. Downholme parish, though not barren, is broken into many wild diversities of surface that would almost defy the efforts of man to discover an easy road into its Upper Swale dale, where lie the ruins of one of the humblest of all monastic foundations, Ellerton upon Swale, dating probably from the reign of Henry II. Downholme Park was the old seat of the Scropes of Bolton, who had been summoned thence to Parliament for eleven genera- tions. When the first Earl of Sunderland, Emanuel Scrope, eleventh Baron Scrope of Bolton, died in 1630, his extensive estates were divided among his three natural daughters, his only children. Downholme Park fell to Mary the eldest, who, as a widow, was married, February 12, 1655 or 1656, to Lord St. John, sixth Marquis of Winchester, created in 1689 Duke of Bolton. Sir John Eeresby and Bishop Burnet, his contemporaries, have 101 102 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE. represented this Lord St. John, Duke of Bolton surnamed " the proud," as one of the most extravagant livers of his time, " a man who took all sorts of liberties with himself;" he was arrogant and " had the spleen to an high degree," said the Bishop, ..." yet carried matters before him with such authority and success, that he was in all respects the great riddle of the age." Francis Nicholson was the natural son of this proud Duke of Bolton.

    MUSIC IN COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG by Bethany Donahue A Thesis Presented to the Faculty ofthe Department ofMusic ofChristopher Newport University In partial fulfillment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Bachelor ofMusic in Music History and Literature April, 2005 Approved by Phillip F. amilton, Ph.D., Reader Ja Mbi=:;,~~ Abstract This thesis examines musical activities in and around eighteenth-century Williamsburg, Virginia. The study sheds light on musical trends in colonial America, especially in Southern cities, where scholarship and research has not matched that of Northern areas. In addition, a discussion of musical life in colonial Williamsburg illuminates broader cultural and social aspects in order to paint a more complete picture ofdaily life in that era. Research has been conducted using both primary and secondary sources, as well as oral interviews and archaeological reports. Primary sources include period diaries and excerpts from the Williamsburg newspaper, the Virginia Gazette. Extensive quotation of primary source material serves to illustrate the breadth of musical activity and the way in which it affected daily life, as well as place music in a broader and more accurate social and cultural context. The use of secondary sources reflects previous scholarly research and a look at the position ofWilliamsburg with respect to colonial America as a whole. Available primary and secondary sources have revealed that music was a profoundly important aspect ofculture and society in eighteenth-century Williamsburg, especially in home music-making and in education. Music deeply affected religious life and was key to dancing. In addition, music was present in the theatre and in public and private performances, and music's pervasiveness is evidenced in the extend to which music was present in the material culture of the era.
