In 1727 the town was officially chartered by the House of Burgesses and named Fredericksburg in honor of Frederick, I Prince of Wales and eldest son of George 11. Five years later Colonel William Byrd visited there and reported that "Though this be a cornodious ~ and beautiful situation for a town, with the advantages of a navigable i river ... yet the inhabitants are very few." He mentioned seeing "the I public warehouse which is built on the figure .of a cross" and the stone I prison. In 1748 with the establishment of a ferry across the Rappahannock 1i the town began to evolve into an important trading center. ! I During the Revolution many of the leading Virginia patriots were associated' I with. the. towp.., jColonelFielding::Lewis,:brother-in-law 05 Geo7:~e Washinston; lived there in Kenmore with his mother-in-law, Mary Ball Washington, 1 Living: oni a neighboring street. Other: Leaders . included General W$lliam Woodford, General Hugh Mercer, Lieutenant Colonel James Monroe and Major 1 Thomas Marshall. I Although suffering three disastrous fires in the early-nineteenth century, Fredericksburg continued to grow and became an important commercial center in ante bellum Virginia. By 1840 the town boasted 3,974 inhabitants wd seventy-three stores, one grist mill, two tanneries, five academies, I seven schools and four semi-weekly newspapers. i I In spite of many modem encroachments, Fredericksburg retains an important I assemblage of eighteenth and nineteenth century buildings. With its I historical associations and representative architecture the town remains a relatively undisturbed historic community that would greatly benefit I by a systematic and thorough restoration and renovation program. -- --- - -- . - . --A "."'-' >JSX DlDLlOCRAPHlCAL REFERENCES r Embrcy, Alvin T.

Stern to George A. Ball are in regards to Ball’s donations to the foundation of the new Mary Washington Hospital. It is outlined that if Ball adds another $750 to his previous $250 donation then he would have one of eleven “family tablets” inscribed and mounted within the hospital. Included in the letters is a sample of the family memorial tablets along with their approximate dimensions. Over the course of a few months, Stern repeatedly sends Ball letters as it seems that Ball never responded to the original letter. The last letter, dated November 7, 1928, is damaged and much is indecipherable. From what is decipherable, it seems as though Ball made another donation to and received a family tablet in the new Mary Washington Hospital building. Source: Letter Date: April 28, 1928 Summary: A letter thanking Mr. Ball for his “generous check” for the Mary Washington House.

    Tomi Lewis Reneau (Part II) -- 12/14/2007 By Tina Mathews, CRRL Intern, editor Interviewed by Nancy Bruns We're once again in Tomi's kitchen.) Interviewer: Let's try to pick up where we left off - although we lost some recorded material when one of the transcribers tangled the tape. We ought to talk about your interest in family and genealogy which I know continued through the years you lived away. Tomi: Mother had given me a DAR membership for my 18th birthday. Interviewer: Just what you wanted. Tomi: Oh yes. I didn't want a car or a trip to Europe. I wanted a DAR membership. (Both are laughing) And I managed to totally ignore the DAR membership for years. Then when I was living in Florida a friend of mine, Judy Hawkins Barton, wrote or called and said she was the Regent of a new chapter that was forming. She asked me to switch to hers. Well of course I would. I don't know anything about the chapter where I was. So I joined and then over the years got to be registrar and then Regent. Interviewer: This is of a Florida chapter? Tomi: No, this is the Overwharton Parish Chapter in Stafford County. Interviewer: Can you tell me anything about the history of the Overwharton Parish chapter. Tomi: It was formed out of the chapter here ... the chapters just get too big. And others form. Interviewer: How many of them are here? Are there three?

  • 68 the Lone Surviving Pier Table of the Bellangé Suite Served As a Major
    68 The lone surviving pier table of the Bellangé suite served as a major inspiration in the updated White House during Roosevelt’s administration, but it was not immediately restored nor set out for display. Fortunately, in 1929, Congress passed an act preventing the removal of objects from the White House, as had happened in several administrations, including Buchanan’s: “[p]rior to the (law), the Presidents could either give away their White House gifts, take them home with them, or sell them at public auction.”clxi Objects no longer actively used in the interiors were instead stored in the White House attic or in Fort Washington, Maryland—it is assumed that the Bellangé pier table went there following the 1902 restoration. The table’s removal from the White House erased its important rediscovery, thereby negating the Bellangé suite’s historical importance and rightful place in the White House. The Bellangé furniture, once employed as symbols of American triumph and achievement, was now, once again, cast away from the White House. The pier table, as the last remaining representative of the entire suite, fell subject to a dusty storage building outside of Washington for some time before it was put to use years later. The pier table’s discovery already acted as the driving force behind McKim’s design for the Blue Room, but it fulfilled another important role fifty years later. This lone object initiated the return of the surviving Bellangé examples after 144 years and thirty Presidents. 69 Chapter 5: Royal Treasures Years passed, and so too did Presidents.

  • Fredericksburg Planning Commission FROM
    MEMORANDUM TO: Fredericksburg Planning Commission FROM: Kathleen Dooley, City Attorney DATE: July 31, 2017 RE: Text amendment for wireless communications infrastructure Issue: Shall the Planning Commission recommend approval of changes to zoning regulations for wireless communications infrastructure? The amendments have been developed in response to three events: new legislation from the 2017 General Assembly, City Council’s Broadband Priority, and a franchise application from Mobilitie, a provider of wireless communications infrastructure. The zoning regulation amendments are part of a larger package of City Code amendments that are intended to provide the legal infrastructure for granting franchises to wireless communication infrastructure providers. The other ordinances address the role of City and Public Utility Review Committee (CPURC) and the Department of Public Works in administering these franchises. The draft ordinance package is posted on the City’s website with the City Council agenda packet for July 7, 2017. The legal landscape for broadband deployment is in flux. The Federal Communications Commission is considering changes to the classification of broadband as a “telecommunications service,” and the General Assembly is expected to consider additional changes in 2018. The current legislative proposals will not be the last time we visit this topic. 2017 07 31 Memo to Planning Commission Wireless Communications Infrastructure Page 2 Recommendation: The following amendments are required for compliance with the new state law: • Exempt micro-wireless facilities from zoning regulation (lines 44-46), • Establish a 60 day deadline for review of small cell facility collocation applications (lines 68-70), • Establish criteria for review of small cell facility collocation applications (lines 100- 113), and • Amend definitions (lines 133 – 180).
