Surrounding roads include Emmet Street to the east, Ivy Road to the north, Rothery Road to the west and Lewis Mountain Road to the south. Access to the properties, however, are only by way of Rothery Road and Cresap Road, with the most prominent access on Sprigg Lane. All four parcels are located in the City of Charlottesville.

The long-distance movement of these pathogens is from the transportation of infected plant materials, which may not show symptoms during harvest or at the time of shipment.

  • Regionallst PAINTING and AMERICAN STUDIES Regionalism
    REGiONALlST PAINTING AND AMERICAN STUDIES KENNETH J. LABUDDE Regionalism in American painting brings to mind immediately the period of the 1930's when the Middlewesterners JohnSteuart Curry, Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton enjoyed great reputation as the_ painters of Ameri­ can art. Curry, the Kansan; Benton, the Missourian; and Wood, the Iowan, each wandered off to New York, to Paris, to the great world of art, but each came home again to Kansas City, Cedar Rapids and Madison, Wisconsin. Only one of the three, Benton, is still living. At the recent dedication of his "Independence and the Opening of the West" in the Truman Library the ar­ tist declared it was his last big work, for scaffold painting takes too great a toll on a man now 72. Upon this occasion he enjoyed the acclaim of those gathered, but as a shrewdly intelligent, even intellectual man, he may have reflected that Wood and Curry, both dead foi* close to twenty years now, are slipping into obscur­ ity except in the region of the United States which they celebrated. Collec­ tors, whether institutional or private, who have the means and the interests to be a part of the great world have gone on to other painters. There are those who will say so much the worse for them, but I am content not to dwell on that issue but to speculate instead about art in our culture and the uses of art in cultural studies. I will explain that I am not convinced by those who hold with the conspir­ acy theory of art history, whether it be a Thomas Craven of yesterday or a John Canaday of today.
