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.

Completed in 1927, the Cavalier was the last word in luxury, attracting U.S. presidents, plutocrats, movie stars and literary lights, some of whom arrived by private rail. They came to relax in the salubrious salt air, hunt and fish, ride horseback, play golf, dress for dinner and dance to the era’s top bands.The 90-year-old neighborhood still boasts a number of its original homes and all of its charm. While the train tracks and depot are long gone, the brick walkway linking train and hotel still transects a neighborhood where the evening stroll remains a popular pastime. With the beloved hotel’s restoration to its former glory, visitors will enjoy this seaside tour near a world-class resort.
