Constructed in two phases, the main block of the building dates from 1910, with a 1954 addition to the rear elevation. The imposing brick building features stylistic elements from the Classical Revival style, an architectural trend fashionable during the period the building was constructed. The main block of the square structure is constructed of brick, randomly laid in five- and six-course American bond. It rises two-and-a-half stories in height with a hipped roof clad in asphalt shingles. Set upon a raised foundation stuccoed on the exterior, the building is three bays wide and two bays deep. Division of the interior floors is marked on all four sides of the exterior by the beveled watertable marking the foundation from the basement, and the narrow stringcourse the serves as window sill for the first story openings. The overhanging eaves are finished with a narrow frieze and bed molding. A large interior brick chimney with a corbelled cap rises from the southeast comer of the building. Horizontal massing is provided by the tall stuccoed watertable and belt course, the one-story portico over the main entry, the recessed panels between the first and second story openings, and the shallow hipped roof with its expansive overhanging eaves. Yet, the symmetrically placed openings, wide mullions, and enclosed pediments on the projecting front bays emphasize verticality. Site Description The Clarendon School is located at the southeast comer of the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and North Monroe Street. The building is substantially setback from the street with a surrounding landscaped yard and parking to the east.

  • Prospect Hill As Seen Before Demolition in 1965
    Courtesy of Arlington Historical Society The 1841 James Roach mansion on Prospect Hill as seen before demolition in 1965. 14 ARLINGTON HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Prospect Hill A Lost Arlington Historical Treasure BY SHERMAN w. PRATT In the 1960s, Arlington and Northern Virginia lost one of their most price­ less and unique historical assets with the rezoning and destruction of the ante­ bellum dwelling of early settler James Roach, standing majestically on Arling­ ton Ridge and overlooking the Capital City area. The dwelling dated from Arlington's early history after the Revolutionary War and the establishment of the Republic, when the area was still a part of the Capital City. In the late 1830s, Philip Roach, with his wife and two daughters and son James, arrived in Alexandria from his former home in Ireland. He immediately set about to find land upon which to establish a New World home for himself and his family. In due course, he focused on one of the most desirable and attractive pieces of real estate in Northern Virginia. The site was well elevated, located about a mile from the Potomac River, and today comprises approximately the northern portion of Arlington Ridge, parts of Crystal City, and Pentagon City and their nearby environs. The land was part of the 1669 original patent 1 of ship captain Robert Howson that was purchased by John Alexander, passed to his son Philip, and even­ tQally conveyed in 1811 to William Henry Washington. It was taken over· by the Bank of the United States in 1836, and then purchased by James Roach on June 29, 1837.2 The senior Roach died on June 9, 1838 at the age of 50, and James, still then residing in Alexandria, promptly looked around for a proper lo­ cation on which to build his home on his new property.

  • The Telephone in the Northern Virginia Area from the Beginning to World War II
    The Telephone in the Northern Virginia Area from the Beginning to World War II Br JIM PEARSON Earliest Years In April 1877, Bell's first permanent outdoor telephone wire was strung between Boston and Somerville, three miles distant. 1 In 1878, the development of an "exchange" opened with twenty-one subscribers in New Haven, Con­ necticut.2 This exchange made possible switched calls between any number of telephones rather than only direct connection between two or three on a com­ mon wire. The use of switched calls, starting in 1878, required an "operator" to patch the calls thru via cords from one line jack to another. Boys were hired for this job, but proved too unruly so girls with lady-like manners soon replaced the "wild boys."3 When a call was placed, the calling party asked to be connected by name to the called party. The operators quickly learned to which switchboard jack each subscriber's line was connected. In 1879, an epidemic of measles in Lowell, Massachusetts, caused concern that Lowell's four operators might succumb and paralyze the telephone system that served more than 200 subscribers. So that substitute operators might be more easily trained, the use of numbers in­ stead of names was begun. This major change in handling calls went into effect almost without notice.4 Bell licensed telephone service began in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1877, in Washington, D.C., in 1878, in Richmond, Virginia, in 1879, in the city of Alexandria, Virginia, in 1880-81, in Falls Church, Virginia, in 1888, and in Arlington (Rosslyn), Virginia, in 1898.

  • Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction
    Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.
