APPEARANCE Until it burned on Christmas day, 1884, James Barbour's house at Barboursvil e stood essentially as completed circa 1822 from designs by Thomas Jefferson. Only two one-story side porches appear to have been later additions. Though large in scale, the house contained only eight principal rooms, the hall, drawing room, and dining room being two-story chambers •.The entrance facade featured a projecting Roman Doric tetrastyle portico which covered the reces ed front wall of the entrance hall. On the garden front the walls of the octagonal drawing room projected into a similar portico, as at Monticello. The octagonal dome which Jefferson proposed in his drawing was omitted during construction; it is uncertain whether the Chinese lattice railing whi h appeared in Jefferson's drawing around the base of the roof was ever install d. Although the dining room had no chamber over it, Jefferson indicated a false window on the second floor level in order to keep the garden front symmetrical. This feature was omitted and consequently gave that side of the house an unbalanced appearance. Unfortunately, there is little V, evidence as to the appearance of the original interior architectural trim. m One might assume that the two-story rooms were crowned by full entablatures m as at Monticello. During the fire of 1884 everything except the exterior brick walls, the z interior masonry partitions, and the columns of the porticoes perished. V, _:;;.~· Now much overgrown by vines, the ruins are maintained and are in generally -t sound condition. ;:o To the north of the house are the two curious service buildings which now c:: serve as ,.t;he ,main ,re,s.i,.dence, fqr, Barbo.ursville.

In a letter dated March 29, 1817, James Barbour thanked his friend Thomas Jefferson for supplying him with designs for· his new house. The designs were returned to Jefferson along with the letter by James Bradley, ·a VI carpenter, and Edward Ancel (?), a bricklayer, both of whom Barbour had % employed to erect his house. Barbour intended the two workmen to study 0 Monticello while on their errand and acquaint themselves with the character of Jefferson's architectural work. I- u As designed, Barboursville more nearly resembled Monticello than any other of Jefferson's works. However, the most striking parallel, the octagonal :J dome, was omitted (as Jefferson said it could be) during construction. ~ Although in ruins, enough of Barboursville's walls remain so that they f- can be studied and compared with Jefferson's drawings. Had it survived VI as designed, Barboursville would undoubtedly rank as Jefferson's most "' % important residential work beside Monticello, but even in its -present·.· state its significance as a relic of one of America's most distinguished architects -is not diminished. Jefferson'-s drawings for Barboursville which w include a plan and elevations of the entrance and garden front are preserve w in the Massachusetts Historical Society. •' " VI Barboursville's architectural,si.gnificance has often tended to overshadow the distinguished career of its first occupant. James Barbour (1775-1842), besides being an obvious patron of architecture, was a member of the Virginia Legislature from 1796 to 1812, and was Governor of the Commonwealt from 1812 to 1814. He was elected to the United States Senate in 1815, where he served until 1825, then becoming Secretary of War until 1828. From 1828 to 1829 he represented his country in England as Minister Plenipotentiary. He was chairman of the Whig National Convention which nominated William Henry Harrison in 1839, and for many years served as president of the Orange Humane Society. He is credited with having fourrled the Literary Fund of Virginia which long supported popular education in Virginia. Barbour lies buried in the family cemetery at Barboursville. ----~---- -----····--·-·-·--- .. ·····------------- ----------- ------. --~-------~-------~ ary, Ihna Thayer.

  • Palladio's Influence in America
    Palladio’s Influence In America Calder Loth, Senior Architectural Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2008 marks the 500th anniversary of Palladio’s birth. We might ask why Americans should consider this to be a cause for celebration. Why should we be concerned about an Italian architect who lived so long ago and far away? As we shall see, however, this architect, whom the average American has never heard of, has had a profound impact on the architectural image of our country, even the city of Baltimore. But before we investigate his influence we should briefly explain what Palladio’s career involved. Palladio, of course, designed many outstanding buildings, but until the twentieth century few Americans ever saw any of Palladio’s works firsthand. From our standpoint, Palladio’s most important achievement was writing about architecture. His seminal publication, I Quattro Libri dell’ Architettura or The Four Books on Architecture, was perhaps the most influential treatise on architecture ever written. Much of the material in that work was the result of Palladio’s extensive study of the ruins of ancient Roman buildings. This effort was part of the Italian Renaissance movement: the rediscovery of the civilization of ancient Rome—its arts, literature, science, and architecture. Palladio was by no means the only architect of his time to undertake such a study and produce a publication about it. Nevertheless, Palladio’s drawings and text were far more engaging, comprehendible, informative, and useful than similar efforts by contemporaries. As with most Renaissance-period architectural treatises, Palladio illustrated and described how to delineate and construct the five orders—the five principal types of ancient columns and their entablatures.

By Rev. Edgar Woods " It is a solemn and to\acKing reflection, perpetually recurring. oy tHe -weaKness and insignificance of man, tHat -wKile His generations pass a-way into oblivion, -with all tKeir toils and ambitions, nature Holds on Her unvarying course, and pours out Her streams and rene-ws Her forests -witH undecaying activity, regardless of tHe fate of Her proud and perisHable Sovereign.**—^e/frey. E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.

  • Fond Du Lac Treaty Portraits: 1826
    Fond du Lac Treaty Portraits: 1826 RICHARD E. NELSON Duluth, Minnesota The story of the Fond du Lac Treaty portraits began on the St. Louis River at a site near the present city of Duluth with these words: Whereas a treaty between the United States of America and the Chippeway tribe of Indians, was made and concluded on the fifth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, at the Fond du Lac of Lake Superior, in the territory of Michigan, by Commissioners on the part of the United States, and certain Chiefs and Warriors of the said tribe . (McKenney 1959:479) The location was memorialized by a monument erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution, Duluth, Minnesota, on November 21, 1922, which reads: Fond du Lac, Minnesota. Site of an Ojibway village from the earliest known pe­ riod. Daniel Greysolon Sieur de Lhut was here in 1679. Astor's American Fur Company established a trading post on this spot about 1817. First Ojibway treaty in Minnesota made here in 1826. The report of the treaty is recorded in Sketches of a Tour to the Lakes, of the Character and Customs of the Chippeway Indians, and of Incidents Connected with the Treaty of Fond du Lac written by Thomas K. McKenney in the form of letters to Secretary of War James Barbour in Washington and first published in 1827. McKenney was the head of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. In May of 1826 he and Lewis Cass, the governor of the Michigan Territory, were appointed by President John Quincy Adams to conclude a major treaty at Fond du Lac.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Perdue, Jr., and Nancy J. Martin-Perdue During his ventures through the Southern Highlands searching for English folksongs in oral tradition in America in 1916, Cecil Sharp, then director of the Stratford-on-Avon School of Folk Lore and Folk Dancing in England, spent some time in Albemarle County. Here Sharp collected ballads from a number of individuals, including Nuel Walton of Brown's Cove, and Orilla Keeton and Victoria (Shifflett) Morris at Mt. Fair, and he published some of their texts and music in his English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. Later, beginning in 1932, members of the Virginia Folklore Society would record on aluminum discs the singing of Morris and Keeton and preserve in manuscript form the songs and ballads of Smith Morris of Greene County, Daisy Nicholson and J. M. Jenkins of Madison County, and Z. T. Compton of Warren County, among others whose names would also eventually appear on the lists of those whose lands were condemned for the development of Shenandoah National Park.2 1The material in this article is part of a book-length manuscript, which bears the same title and is in preparation.

  • A History of St. Mark's Parish, in Which Governor Spotswood Did Not Have a Prominent Place, Would Be Like a Portrait with the Most Prominent Feature Left Out
    A HISTORY OF ST. MARK'S PARISH CULPEPER COUNTY, VIRGINIA, WITH NOTES OF OLD CHURCHES AND OLD FAMILIES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE Manners and Customs of the Olden Time. BY REV. PHILIP SLAUGHTER, D.D. Rector of Emmanuel Church, Culpeper Co.s Va. AUTHOR OF THE HISTORIES OF ST. GSORGB'S AND BRISTOL PARISHES, VA. 1877. IKNES & COMPANY, Printers, BALTIMORE, MO. THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. The author believes that he was the first person who conceived the idea of writing a history of the old parishes in Yirginia upon the basis of the old vestry-books and registers. Thirty years ago he published the History of Bristol Parish (Petersburg), of which he was then rector. In 1849 he published the History of St. George's Parish, in Spotsylvania. His labors were then suspended by ill-health, and he went abroad, never expecting to resume them. This personal evil resulted in the general good. Bishop Meade, the most competent of all men for this special task, was induced to take up the subject, and the result was the valuable work, " The Old Ohurches and Families of Yirginia," in which the author's histories of St. George and Bristol Parishes, and some other materials which he had gathered, were incorporated. The author, in his old age, returns to his first love, and submits to the public a history of his native parish of St. Mark's. The reader will please bear in mind that this is not a general history of the civil and social institutions within the bounds of this parish, and yet he will find in it many incidental illustrations of these subjects.
