PIF) for HISTORIC DISTRICTS @ DHRi Vrrgini, Dep,rtmort of Histo,i, Resom-ees PRELIMINARY INFORMATION FORM (PIF) for HISTORIC DISTRICTS Purpose of Evaluation Please use the following space to explain briefly why you are seeking an evaluation of this property. Although Loudoun' s rural road network pre-dates the 17 57 founding of the County, this historic asset has remained in continuous use in Loudoun's rural west. With Loudoun's continued shift away from its origins as a fanning community, there is the need to document the network and plan for its future survival with the hopes that the roads don't succumb to demands of modem, high-speed travel. Loudoun County's 2019 Comprehensive Plan acknowledges the importance of the county's historic roads as a contributing resource to the "character of the rural landscape." The Plan also recognizes the importance of continued use stating that in addition to vehicular travel, the rural road network "provides opportunities for recreational use such as hiking, biking and equestrian sports." 1 Local elected leaders have written in support of preservation of the roads. Letters are attached as an appendix to this PIF. America's Routes, a local group of engaged citizens, is dedicated to documenting Loudoun's Rural Road network as a means to educate the public as to the roads' historic significance. American's Routes believes that with education, there will be more public interest in preserving this unique historic asset.

Suburban development/ changes in use (See photo 19) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION AND INTEGRITY Loudoun's vast network of rural roads retains it historic integrity. Design elements include roadway width, parallel drainage ditches, and alignment. Loudoun's rural roads, as originally designed, were quite narrow in width, roadbeds ranging from 12' - 14' (for single lane) to 18' - 20' feet (for dual lane.) Parallel drainage ditches mark the outside edge of the roadway. The road width remains unchanged, evidenced by steep banks, testimony to centuries of maintaining the original width. 1 It was common for mid to late 18 h century roads to follow the most direct route or a surveyed boundary line, resulting in remarkably straight alignment, even crossing difficult terrain such as a steep hill or soft bottomland. Many roads, as evidenced by parallel stonewalls, retain their original alignment. [See Photo 4 - Millsville Road and Photo 5 - Ebenezer Road] With the advent of the automobile, the original design of right-angled crossroads evolved to S­ curves in order to accommodate higher speed travel. Often the traces of the original crossroad remain abandoned in place, marking the original route. [See Photo 1- Middleburg Training Center] Secondary resources such as bridges bear the mark of simple but ingenious design, testimony to their rural context. Luten - designed bridges are the most prevalent and many remain in place. The poured-concrete, single-span arch was perfect for rural settings. Many Luten bridges were installed as early as 1916 and 1918, marking the arrival of the motor vehicle. [See Photo 16 - Limestone School Road.] The low water bridges, another secondary resource, demonstrate vernacular design of gentlemen engineers. Many low water bridges were made by coupling steel culverts together, originally faced in fieldstone and later parged with concrete. [Photo 2 - Newlin Mill Road] There is a single example of a steel truss bridge [DHR 053-0131] at Catoctin Creek on Featherbed Road. This example of engineered design was originally installed on Route 7/ Leesburg Turnpike and later moved to its current, rural location. [See Photo 14 - Feather Bed Lane.] Location The location ofLoudoun's rural road network was largely dictated by the pattern of connecting mills to markets. Throughout all of Loudoun, the location of the early roads was chosen in response to a petition to connect a mill to a wider transportation network, such as a turnpike or ferry. Within the rural road network, the location of the roads largely remains original, as evidenced by sunken travel ways, drainage ditches, or stonewalls. Department of Historic Resources Preliminary Information Form 3 Rev.January 2018 5/6/2020 Setting Loudoun's road network can be defined by its unique cultural and environmental setting: The cultural setting remains the much same as during the Period of Significance. Historic villages - such as Taylorstown in the north; Waterford and Hillsboro in the center; and Unison, Middleburg and Philomont in the South- align with the road network's 30' right of way and contribute to the network's historic cultural setting. [See Photo 7, Village ofWoodgrove] The environmental setting also remains the largely same as during the Period of Significance. Open, agricultural vistas, outside of the 30' boundary, remain. Many are in conservation easement, protected for perpetuity. Witness trees, which have grown into the 30' boundary, have become an integral part of the roadway. In other places, century old tree roots form the wall of the sunken lane, becoming an integral part of the road. [See Photo 12 - Quarter Branch Road] Materials Loudoun's rural roads have a 'living finish' - no different than lime mortar, which undergoes continued repointing; a roof, which changes through time from shakes, to tin, to pre­ painted metal; or weatherboard, which receives continued lime washes. Materials are much the same as during the Period of Significance. Originally, Loudoun's rural road network was 'unimproved'2 meaning no additional surface material was applied. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, road construction consisted of clearing undergrowth and trees to the specified width, and in some cases, slightly crowing the surface and digging parallel drainage ditches. The roadway 'material' was an earthen surface, which changed with weather patterns and use - mud in the spring and evolving into rammed earth over time. By the early 20Lh century, some mral roads were graded and graveled; the same methods and materials still used today. In places, bedrock shows through, allowing the original level of the road to appear. Today, VDOI uses A-21 gravel, which is primarily crushed limestone sourced locally from Clarke County. A-21 gravel is designed as a construction base for laying roads, but not as a road smface. 4 This type of gravel disintegrates with wear, turning into dust in the summer and mud in the winter, altering the state of the road 'material' between seasons.5 Typically, rather than gravel fully covering the road surface, sprinklings of gravel remain at the crown with the bulk of the gravel washing out at ditches. Today's roadbed is more likely packed earth than gravel, and ironically, a strikingly authentic surface. [See Photo 8 - Bell Road] Workmanship Many ofLoudoun's rural roads follow sunken lanes, evidence of workmanship of laborers repeatedly digging out the road surface in an attempt to reach a stable base. Often the road labor was that of the enslaved and these sunken lanes appear more frequently in southwest Loudoun where slave labor was more common. The parallel drainage ditches, also dug by hand, are evidence oflaborers' workmanship. [See Photo 3 - Welbourne Road and Photo 5 -Ebenezer Road] Other associated secondary resources, inside the 30' right of way, which bear the workmanship of vernacular construction techniques, are dry stacked stone retaining walls. Locally trained masons originally built these walls and these walls have evolved over time, many having been pointed with concrete. [See Photo 13 - Furnace Mountain Road] Property Types The National Task Force for Historic Roads (NTFHR), part of the Rural Heritage Program of the National Trust, has established three classifications of historic roads: cultural routes, engineered routes, and aesthetics routes. Department of Historic Resources Preliminary Information Form 4 Rev.January 2018 5/6/2020 Cultural Routes are legacies handed through necessity or tradition, developed without engineering, such as a path or migration route. Loudoun's cultural routes developed from paths dictated by geography or paths following a property survey line. Turnpikes Loudoun's original cultural routes were dictated by the distinct geography of mountain passes. Loudoun's first roads were Native American trails connecting mountain passes in the Blue Ridge through gaps in the Catoctin and Bull Run.

  • Snickers Gap, Loudoun County, Virginia Introduction: Snickers Gap
    Snickers Gap, Loudoun County, Virginia Introduction: Snickers Gap, originally Williams Gap, is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mount on the border of Loudoun County and Clark County in Virginia. The gap is traversed by Virginia State Route 7. The Appalachian Trail also passes across the gap. Bear’s Den and Raven Rocks are adjacent to the gap. Geography: At 1,056 feet (322 m) the gap is approximately 300 to 600 feet (91 to 183 m) below the adjacent ridge line and 400 to 600 feet (120 to 180 m) above the surrounding countryside. Due to the dwindling height of the Blue Ridge as it approaches the Potomac River, Snickers Gap is one of the lowest wind gaps of the ridge in Virginia, with only Manassas Gap and the adjacent Keyes Gap being lower. The gap connects the northern Virginia piedmont with the lower Shenandoah Valley and serves as a main thoroughfare between the two regions. History: The gap has been a major thoroughfare since before the European colonization of the area. Native Americans originally cut a trail through the gap that continued to be used by settlers. The gap was known as Williams’ Gap until the early 1780’s, when the modern name began to be used. The gap derived its name from Edward Snickers, who owned the gap and surrounding land and operated a ferry across the Shenandoah River on the western side of the gap. But the late 18th century the Snikersville Turnpike and the Snickers Gap Turnpike were completed, and Snickers Gap became the main thoroughfare between Loudoun County and the Shenandoah bypassing Keyes Gap, which to that point had been the preferred route.

  • Deputation – Edward Rees Members, I Address You Today Not Only As A
    Deputation – Edward Rees Members, I address you today not only as a member of the Bedhampton Residents Alliance but as someone who was born and raised in the ward. Bedhampton is my home, it is my family’s home and I speak on behalf of my community and my neighbours. The Bedhampton resident’s alliance has one purpose and one purpose only. To promote, protect and enhance the historical and cultural characteristics of Bedhampton. Old Bedhampton is one of the oldest and most precious areas of our Borough. For years it has been protected by the conservation area, and while the world has moved on around it. Old Bedhampton has been protected for the unrelenting forces of modernity. For many years now the residents of Bedhampton have asked ‘is the current conservation area is fit for purpose. Does it truly encapsulate the cultural and historical importance of the area?’ A question that has not been asked of this authority since the year I was born. Indeed, it was five years ago that residents asked me if the council would deliver a review of the conservation area. Due to significant local government cuts and under the advice of the previous cabinet I was informed that no funds could be made available for the task. I note paragraph 3.1 states ‘The designation and review of Conservation Areas are an important part of the Councils statutory duty.’ Perhaps not the case in 2014. Despite this, community organisations funded this privately. What David Cameron would call ‘his big society at work’ Members I will not quote aspects of policy or show you maps.
