Architectural Survey for the Capon Bridge Replacement Project Hampshire County, West Virginia ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY FOR THE CAPON BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT HAMPSHIRE COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA Prepared for: West Virginia Department of Transportation Division of Highways State Project S314-50-31.02 00 Federal Project STP-0050(318) D Prepared by: TRC ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. 4425 Forbes Boulevard Lanham, Maryland 20706 Authored by: Stephanie A.T. Jacobe, Ph.D. July 2016 Architectural Survey for the Capon Bridge Replacement Project, Hampshire County, West Virginia MANAGEMENT SUMMARY On behalf of the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH), TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) conducted an architectural survey for the proposed Capon Bridge Replacement Project in Hampshire County, West Virginia (State Project S314-50-31.02 00; Federal Project STP- 050(318)D). The proposed project is a replacement of the existing bridge carrying U.S. Route 50 over the Cacapon River in the Town of Capon Bridge, Hampshire County, West Virginia. The new bridge will replace the existing bridge at the same location. The proposed impact area of construction activity associated with the bridge replacement project includes a potential temporary traffic bypass north of the existing bridge which is one of three potential alternatives. The area of potential effects (APE) is defined as the geographic area within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) -eligible properties. The purpose of the architectural survey was to survey architectural resources 50 years of age or older within the APE and evaluate them for eligibility to the NRHP. Background research demonstrated that there are three previously recorded architectural resources within the project area. These include the Capon Bridge (HM-0802) that has been determined individually eligible for the NRHP under Criterion C, the Gertrude Ward House (HM-0026) that is considered eligible by WVSHPO, and the Capon Bridge Historic District (HM-0012) which was recorded in 1978 but no list of contributing resources nor a potential historic district boundary was completed at that time. Research and fieldwork was conducted to evaluate all resources within the project APE. The survey identified a total of 12 resources including three previously surveyed resources and nine newly surveyed resources. A WVDOH Criterion A Checklist for the Capon Bridge was prepared (Appendix A). HPI forms were also prepared for all surveyed resources (Appendix B). It is recommended that the Capon Bridge (HM-0802) and the Gertrude Ward House (HM-0026) both retain sufficient integrity to maintain eligibility to the NRHP. After further evaluation of the potential Capon Bridge Historic District (HM-0012), it was found that there is not sufficient integrity, linkage or continuity of features to sustain a historic district. Finally, the newly surveyed Store and Post Office at 3121 Northern Turnpike (HM-1413), the Capon Bridge Museum (HM- 1418) and Frye’s Tavern (HM-1420) are recommended eligible for the NRHP. As part of public involvement for the Capon Bridge Replacement Project, WVDOH contacted Preservation Alliance of West Virginia, the Hampshire County Historical Society, and the Hampshire County Historic Landmarks Commission to solicit questions and comments about the project on June 28, 2016. Charlie Baker of the Hampshire County Landmarks Commission replied to the letter stating the Landmarks Commission does not have jurisdiction in the municipalities and requested that DOH contact the Town of Capon Bridge. A letter was sent to the Town of Capon Bridge on July 11, 2016. Copies of all the letters appear in Appendix C of this report. i Architectural Survey for the Capon Bridge Replacement Project, Hampshire County, West Virginia TABLE OF CONTENTS MANAGEMENT SUMMARY......................................................................................................... i LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................................ iii LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... iii 1.

  • The Cacapon Settlement: 1749-1800 31
    THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 5 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 The existence of a settlement of Brethren families in the Cacapon River Valley of eastern Hampshire County in present day West Virginia has been unknown and uninvestigated until the present time. That a congregation of Brethren existed there in colonial times cannot now be denied, for sufficient evidence has been accumulated to reveal its presence at least by the 1760s and perhaps earlier. Because at this early date, Brethren churches and ministers did not keep records, details of this church cannot be recovered. At most, contemporary researchers can attempt to identify the families which have the highest probability of being of Brethren affiliation. Even this is difficult due to lack of time and resources. The research program for many of these families is incomplete, and this chapter is offered tentatively as a basis for additional research. Some attempted identifications will likely be incorrect. As work went forward on the Brethren settlements in the western and southern parts of old Hampshire County, it became clear that many families in the South Branch, Beaver Run and Pine churches had relatives who had lived in the Cacapon River Valley. Numerous families had moved from that valley to the western part of the county, and intermarriages were also evident. Land records revealed a large number of family names which were common on the South Branch, Patterson Creek, Beaver Run and Mill Creek areas. In many instances, the names appeared first on the Cacapon and later in the western part of the county.

  • Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004
    WEST VIRGINIA Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004 West Virginia Division of Natural Resources D I Investment in a Legacy --------------------------- S West Virginia’s anglers enjoy a rich sportfishing legacy and conservation ethic that is maintained T through their commitment to our state’s fishery resources. Recognizing this commitment, the R Division of Natural Resources endeavors to provide a variety of quality fishing opportunities to meet I increasing demands, while also conserving and protecting the state’s valuable aquatic resources. One way that DNR fulfills this part of its mission is through its fish hatchery programs. Many anglers are C aware of the successful trout stocking program and the seven coldwater hatcheries that support this T important fishery in West Virginia. The warmwater hatchery program, although a little less well known, is still very significant to West Virginia anglers. O West Virginia’s warmwater hatchery program has been instrumental in providing fishing opportunities F to anglers for more than 60 years. For most of that time, the Palestine State Fish Hatchery was the state’s primary facility dedicated to the production of warmwater fish. Millions of walleye, muskellunge, channel catfish, hybrid striped bass, saugeye, tiger musky, and largemouth F and smallmouth bass have been raised over the years at Palestine and stocked into streams, rivers, and lakes across the state. I A recent addition to the DNR’s warmwater hatchery program is the Apple Grove State Fish Hatchery in Mason County. Construction of the C hatchery was completed in 2003. It was a joint project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the DNR as part of a mitigation agreement E for the modernization of the Robert C.
