After dinner, the men could join the ladies for a dance in the ballroom. Around the same time the hotel opened its doors, Norfolk & Western Railroad’s new gasoline-powered train, “The Cavalier,” began its voyage from Chicago to The Cavalier’s private depot. Welcome to the Simply, There’s No Other Place Like It In the 1930s, Cavalier Associates divided a portion of the Cavalier Residences Cavalier properties into an exclusive neighborhood known today as Cavalier Shores. The homes and cottages developed in Cavalier Shores were connected to The Cavalier Hotel and the Beach Club by brick walkways, landscaped gardens and tree-lined pathways. The streets remained open and encouraged neighborhood socializing. Bridle paths and alleys provided access to the rear of the residences. An added benefit of being a resident of Cavalier Shores was exclusive access to the amenities of The Cavalier Hotel. Residents socialized and held community events such as swimming competitions, recitals and holiday functions. The hotel was the heart of their community. On Memorial Day in 1929, the Cavalier Beach Club opened. The club was the forerunner of all beach clubs, and none that followed ever overtook or even kept pace with it. For the next three decades, The Cavalier was the “Big Band Capital of the World.” Also opening in 1929 was the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club. In May that same year, The Cavalier hosted its first annual horse show. The Cavalier had rightfully earned the nickname “Aristocrat of the Virginia Seashore,” and Welcome Home served aristocrats from all over the country. Cavalier Shores today is one of Virginia Beach’s oldest and most coveted neighborhoods. The enchanting and eclectic mix of homes, from 1930-60s ranch-style and two-story homes to more modern homes of the later 20th century, all contribute to the neighborhood’s charm and appeal. Just blocks from the oceanfront beaches, but quietly tucked away, Cavalier Shores retains its close-knit neighborhood ambiance and small-town feel.

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.
