  • Annual Report 2017 - 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 2018 Details Make a Difference www.historicrichmond.com 1 FROM OUR LEADERSHIP Details Make A Difference In our Spring Newsletter, we discussed stepping back to look at “The Big Picture” and how our Vision came into Focus with a shared set of Preservation Values. With that Big Picture now in focus, it is also clear that the Details Make All the Difference. The details are what connect us across generations to those that walked these streets before us. It is the details that connect us to the lives and struggles – both large and small – of those people in these places. For two centuries, an upturned torch at Monumental Church has reflected the lives extinguished too soon by the Richmond Theatre Fire. For more than a century, an eagle on the General Assembly Building’s 1912 façade stood sentinel watching over our Capitol. Several blocks away, another eagle, radiator grill in its grasp (and tongue in cheek), signaled the advent of the automobile. Exceptional craftsmanship has stood the test of time in Virginia Union University’s “nine noble” buildings of Virginia granite. This attention to detail said “We are strong. We are solid. And we will strive and succeed for centuries to come.” It is seemingly insignificant details such as these that help us to understand that our lives are significant – that our actions can - and do - make an impact on the world around us. We are excited to have rolled up our sleeves to focus on those details. In this report, we share with you an update on our work in 2017-2018, including: Preservation • Monumental Church • Masons’ Hall Revitalization • Neighborhood Revitalization Projects Rehabilitation • Westhampton School • Downtown Revitalization/ Blues Armory Advocacy & Education • Master Planning • Rehab Expo • Lecture Programs • Golden Hammer Awards Cover Photo: Painting the east stairwell of Monumental Church thanks to the Elmon B.

  • Court End Text Only
    Valentine Richmond History Walks Self-Guided Walk of the Court End Neighborhood - Text Only Version All directions are in italics. The tour starts at East Clay and 11th streets, in front of the Wickham House. Please use caution while walking and crossing streets. Welcome to Court End! This residential neighborhood flourished following the move of the state capital from Williamsburg to Richmond and the completion of the Virginia State Capitol building in 1788. Court End took its name from its proximity to the court building. With all three branches of government nearby during the 19th century, many professionals chose to live close to the action. 1 The Wickham House | EAST CLAY AND 11TH STREETS This house, built for John and Elizabeth Wickham in 1812, was designed by architect Alexander Parris, who was in town to design the Governor’s mansion. Fun fact: the Wickham’s house was much more opulent than the Governor’s mansion and cost twice as much! This Neoclassical structure was inhabited by the Wickham’s, their 19 children and more than 15 enslaved African Americans. Labor provided by the enslaved workforce enabled the Wickham’s to live a lavish lifestyle like many wealthy White Southerners at the time. In 1882, entrepreneur Mann S. Valentine II purchased the property and displayed his archaeological and ethnographic collections here. In 1898, the house became the first home of the Valentine Museum. Visit thevalentine.org for a virtual tour! Directly across the street is the Maupin Maury House, 1016 East Clay Street. 1 2 Maupin Maury House | 1016 EAST CLAY STREET This Greek Revival house was originally located at 1105 East Clay Street and was built in 1846 by Dr.

The dissertation employs three major research methodologies by: (1) centralizing the role of social class in the Episcopal Church's history, (2) seriously considering the Episcopal Church's distinctive theology, and (3) quantifying the connections that linked the Episcopal Church to the South's economic structures prior to the Civil War. Archival research, periodicals, and published records related to the Protestant Episcopal Church provided the primary evidence used in the formulation of the dissertation's interpretations and conclusions.

JOHN MARSHALL, MAGNIFICENT MUGWUMP by ARTHUR JOHN KEEFFE* The tendency of all of us is to catalogue every one as either liberal or con- servative. No truer song has ever been sung than the one Private Willis sings as the curtain rises for the second act of Iolanthe.1 Following this passion for classi- fication, there are those who classify John Marshall as the arch-conservative of all time.2 But speaking personally, if one must do this, John Marshall should be called America's first and most magnificent "Mugwump".3 In this he does not differ from those Americans who vote every year for the best man, regardless of party label. There are three periods of Marshall's life that put an indelible stamp on his character. First, Marshall grew up on the frontier, in the backwoods of Virginia, not on a prosperous plantation in the Tidewater. Although he was the eldest of fifteen children, his mother and father had time to instruct him, with occasional *Professor of Law, The Catholic University of America.

  • Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era
    Prepared by Published by Chris Novelli, The Virginia Melina Bezirdjian, Department of Calder Loth, and Historic Resources, Lena Sweeten McDonald Richmond, Virginia 2015 Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era to 1940 Introduction The Department of Historic Resources (DHR) is pleased to present Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era through 1940. Our new publication is designed to aid professionals, students, and the interested public in identifying and documenting the numerous types and styles of historic buildings in the Commonwealth. The guide first provides an overview of Virginia’s architectural heritage within the context of larger historic trends, from its colonial era settlement and role in the founding of the United States, to the elimination of its slavery-based economy, and on through the economic, technological and cultural innovations of the early twentieth century. We have compiled the architectural styles and forms discussed herein based on terminology used by DHR’s Virginia Cultural Resources Information System (VCRIS) database (public portal available at https://vcris.dhr.virginia.gov/vcris/Mapviewer/), and guidance for using the system is provided as well. The majority of this publication consists of Style and Form information sheets that provide basic information about and character-defining aspects of the many historic architectural styles that have shaped Virginia’s public and private spaces across more than three centuries. Weaving architectural design trends together with larger historic patterns provides for a more holistic understanding of how Virginia’s built environment came to be. Thus, in addition to images and a bulleted list of character-defining features, each style is given a brief history to provide context.
