  • Court End Text Only
    Valentine Richmond History Walks Self-Guided Walk of the Court End Neighborhood - Text Only Version All directions are in italics. The tour starts at East Clay and 11th streets, in front of the Wickham House. Please use caution while walking and crossing streets. Welcome to Court End! This residential neighborhood flourished following the move of the state capital from Williamsburg to Richmond and the completion of the Virginia State Capitol building in 1788. Court End took its name from its proximity to the court building. With all three branches of government nearby during the 19th century, many professionals chose to live close to the action. 1 The Wickham House | EAST CLAY AND 11TH STREETS This house, built for John and Elizabeth Wickham in 1812, was designed by architect Alexander Parris, who was in town to design the Governor’s mansion. Fun fact: the Wickham’s house was much more opulent than the Governor’s mansion and cost twice as much! This Neoclassical structure was inhabited by the Wickham’s, their 19 children and more than 15 enslaved African Americans. Labor provided by the enslaved workforce enabled the Wickham’s to live a lavish lifestyle like many wealthy White Southerners at the time. In 1882, entrepreneur Mann S. Valentine II purchased the property and displayed his archaeological and ethnographic collections here. In 1898, the house became the first home of the Valentine Museum. Visit thevalentine.org for a virtual tour! Directly across the street is the Maupin Maury House, 1016 East Clay Street. 1 2 Maupin Maury House | 1016 EAST CLAY STREET This Greek Revival house was originally located at 1105 East Clay Street and was built in 1846 by Dr.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean Graduate School December 2020 i Abstract In this thesis I compare two cases where human remains were found on the grounds of two historical medical colleges, the Medical College of Georgia and the Medical College of Virginia. These remains are presumed to be the remnants of dissected corpses from nineteenth century medical education. I will address how these two medical schools, among many other teaching institutions of the nineteenth century, procured and used African American bodies for dissection far more often than white bodies. This study will also look at the local reaction to the twentieth century discoveries at the two colleges. Between the two cases, the Medical College of Georgia appears to have been less involved with reburial and handled the identification of the remains with less public input than the Medical College of Virginia.
