    First Baptist Church Documentary Study Prepared for First Baptist Church 2932 King Street Alexandria, Virginia 22302 Julia Claypool, Historian Edna Johnston, Principal HISTORYmatters Washington, DC www.historymatters.net Georeferenced Maps Provided by AECOM May 19, 2016 First Baptist Church Documentary Study History Matters, LLC May 19, 2016 P a g e | 1 Documentary Study – First Baptist Church Property Introduction Located at 2932 King Street in Alexandria, Virginia, the First Baptist Church stands on the southwestern side of King Street (Leesburg Pike) on just over 16 acres of land. The property is bisected by Taylor Run, a stream that runs northwest to southeast. The focus of this documentary study is the Octagon House that stood on the property from 1856 to 1866. For its short existence, the Octagon House played a remarkable role in a turbulent time in Alexandria’s history. Built by Sarah W. Hall in 1856, the house’s octagonal design and cement construction were unusual in the area. After the death of her husband, Charles Hall, a prominent clergyman involved in the American Mission movement, Sarah Hall moved her three daughters from New York to join her eldest son Charles Stuart, who lived in the Alexandria area. With the outbreak of the American Civil War in the spring of 1861, the house’s location along Leesburg Pike and in the vicinity of several Union Army fortifications led to its use as a headquarters by several Union regiments and as a regimental hospital. During the Civil War, the Octagon House was associated with U.S. Brigadier General John Sedgwick (1813-1864) and nurse Amy Morris Bradley (1823-1904).

  • Historic Preservation
    Davenport 2025: Comprehensive Plan for the City Historic Preservation - 155 - Davenport 2025: Comprehensive Plan for the City Summary The historic preservation chapter (1986) of the city’s comprehensive plan asks the question, “What is ‘historic preservation?’” The answers provided by the authors are still true today: Put simply, historic preservation is the national movement to conserve the human-made environment. It includes efforts to protect buildings, structures, sites and neighborhoods associated with important people, events and developments. It is a movement which draws from the disciplines of history, architecture and archaeology and links us with our heritage.1 The 1986 chapter established five goals for Davenport’s historic preservation efforts: protect and enhance the character of the community’s significant neighborhoods and landmarks, coordinate local preservation efforts between the public and private sector, develop tools to create a favorable preservation climate, use preservation to strengthen the local economy, and increase the public awareness of the community’s history, culture, and heritage to create a sense of pride, place, and continuity.2 Davenport, like many communities across the country, experienced mixed preservation results over the past twenty years. The community has established numerous local and national historic districts in our community’s neighborhoods. State and local governments have cooperated to strengthen the city’s preservation programs in specific instances. The city has created incentives that can be used to preserve, protect, and enhance our built environment. On the downside, the city has failed to capitalize economically on its history, and the community has mixed feelings about the methods of and the reasons for historic preservation.
