  • Clermont: Portrait of an Evolved “Virginia” House
    CLERMONT HISTORIC STRUCTURE REPORT CHAPTER 5: ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT A. Introduction: Scratch the surface of almost any of Virginia’s surviving substantial 18th-century houses, and a complex story of expansion and reinvention is likely to emerge. Many of the state’s most revered residences, such as Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and George Washington’s Mount Vernon, fall into this category. The construction histories of these famous buildings epitomize the natural trend, found throughout Anglo-America, of owners expanding their homes, upgrading finishes and furnishings, and rearranging the surrounding landscapes, all in the name of the changing dictates of fashion and according to their means. As members of the highest level of Virginia’s planter elite, Jefferson and Washington had the knowledge, the resources, and the incentive not only to alter their homes in this way, but they also followed international design models and strove to meld the phases of construction behind the now iconic neo-classical façades. Less prominent owners erected less pretentious houses, such as Thomas Wadlington’s Clermont, which nevertheless underwent many of the same types of changes that occurred at the dwellings of their more famous and affluent neighbors.1 Over the years, the subsequent owners of Clermont made a variety of modifications – such as adding a kitchen in the 1770s and a dining room in the late 1780s, erecting and replacing partitions and moving doorways to create a new central passage a few years later, and repurposing interior spaces and attaching multiple generations of porches, then adding on even more rooms -- all according to evolving needs.

  • How and Where to Look It Up: Resources for Researching the History of Jefferson County, West Virginia
    HOW AND WHERE TO LOOK IT UP: RESOURCES FOR RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. William D. Theriault, Ph.D. ©2001 William D. Theriault P.O. Box 173, Bakerton, WV 25431 e-mail: [email protected] Foreword This work tries to give students of Jefferson County, West Virginia, history the resources needed to confront the mass of information relevant to its past. How and Where To Look It Up contains twenty-three chapters that provide an overview of primary and secondary sources available on a broad range of topics. The accompanying Bibliography on compact disc furnishes more than 6,500 annotated citations on county history. Together they comprise the most comprehensive reference guide published on Jefferson County history to date. Despite the scope of this effort, it is incomplete. Thousands of older sources wait to be identified, perhaps by the readers of this work. New sources appear regularly, the product of more recent studies. I have temporarily suspended my information gathering efforts to publish this book and CD during Jefferson County’s bicentennial year. I hope that those inspired by the county’s 200th anniversary celebration will find it useful and will contribute to this ongoing effort. The format I have chosen for this information reflects changing tastes and technologies. A few years ago, I would have had no choice but to print all of this work on paper, a limitation that would have made the bibliography unwieldy to use and expensive to publish. Today, compact disc and Internet publication provide new ways to access old information if you have a computer.
