  • 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.

Treadway arly this year the Library will open an exhibition entitled Lost library board chair Eand Found. The exhibition features items from the past that Clifton A. Woodrum III have disappeared from the historical record as well as documents and artifacts, missing and presumed gone forever, that have editorial board resurfaced after many years. Suddenly, while the curators were Janice M. Hathcock Ann E. Henderson making their final choices about exhibition items from our Gregg D. Kimball collections, the Library was surprised to receive word of a very Mary Beth McIntire special “find” that has now made its way back home to Virginia. During the winter of 1862–1863, more than 100,000 Union editor soldiers with the Army of the Potomac tramped through and Ann E. Henderson camped in Stafford County, Virginia. By early in December 1862, the New York Times reported that military activity had left the copy editor Emily J. Salmon town of Stafford Court House “a scene of utter ruin.” One casualty of the Union occupation was the “house of records” located graphic designer behind the courthouse. Here, the Times recounted, “were deposited all the important Amy C. Winegardner deeds and papers pertaining to this section for a generation past.” Documents “were found lying about the floor to the depth of fifteen inches or more around the door-steps and in photography the door-yard.” Anyone who has ever tried to research Stafford County’s early history can Pierre Courtois attest to the accuracy of the newspaper’s prediction that “it is impossible to estimate the inconvenience and losses which will be incurred by this wholesale destruction.” contributors Barbara C.

  • Playgoing, Patriotism, and the First Washington Theatres, 1800 - 1836
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CITY:” PLAYGOING, PATRIOTISM, AND THE FIRST WASHINGTON THEATRES, 1800 - 1836. AnnMarie T. Saunders, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor Heather S. Nathans, School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies In 1803, a group of budding civic leaders in the fledgling capital city of Washington D.C. laid the cornerstone for what they hoped would be the first truly "national" theatre of the United States. Yet their grandiose dreams for a playhouse encountered as many obstacles as the rest of the city in the first decades of its development. My project, "'To the Advantage of the City': Playgoing, Patriotism, and the first Washington Theatres, 1800- 1836," represents the first full-length scholarly study of Washington D.C. theatre during the early national period. In my work, I examine the complex networks of economic and political associations that facilitated the development the district's theatre culture. I map the numerous experiments, the sporadic successes, and the traumatic failures that nearly drove theatre from the nation's capital. I explore the ways in which the presumption that theatre could and would contribute to narratives of American nationalism may have contributed to the failures of the early Washington theatre efforts as well as the determination with which theatre proponents in the District worked to rise above these failures and incorporate theatre into the culture of the capital, and thus the nation. “TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CITY”: PLAYGOING, PATRIOTISM, AND THE FIRST WASHINGTON THEATRES, 1800 - 1836 By AnnMarie T.

Through the use of the theories of disaster sociology, “Signaling Through the Flames” positions disaster as an inherently theatrical process of disruption, after which various parties, constructed as “grass-roots” communities and “elite-level” institutional groups, compete to gain control of the narrative of the disaster event and, in doing so, contribute in significant ways to creating and disseminating an “official”
