  • What's out There Richmond
    What’s Out There® Richmond Richmond, VA Dear What’s Out There Richmond Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Richmond, organized by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) with support from national and local partners. The materials in this guidebook will inform you about the history and design of this modern city at the Falls of the James River, a place referred to as “Non-such” by colonists to express its incomparability. Please keep and enjoy this guidebook for future explorations of Richmond’s diverse landscape heritage. In 2013, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, TCLF embarked upon What’s Out There Virginia, a survey of the Commonwealth’s landscape legacy, conceived to add more than 150 significant sites to the What’s Out There online database. As the program matured and our research broadened, TCLF developed What’s Out There Weekend Richmond, the tenth in an ongoing series of city- and regionally-focused tour Photo by Meg Eastman, courtesy Virginia Historical Society events that increase the public visibility of designed landscapes, their designers, and patrons. The two-day event held in October 2014 provided residents and tourists free, expert-led tours of the nearly thirty sites included in this guidebook and are the result of exhaustive, collaborative research. The meandering James River has, through the ages, been the organizing landscape feature of Richmond’s development, providing power to drive industry along with a navigable tidal section and canal network for transportation. The city became the governmental seat for the Confederacy and, following the Civil War and the period of Reconstruction, benefitted from the City Beautiful movement, which promoted symmetry, balance, grandeur, and monumentality.

  • Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era
    Prepared by Published by Chris Novelli, The Virginia Melina Bezirdjian, Department of Calder Loth, and Historic Resources, Lena Sweeten McDonald Richmond, Virginia 2015 Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era to 1940 Introduction The Department of Historic Resources (DHR) is pleased to present Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era through 1940. Our new publication is designed to aid professionals, students, and the interested public in identifying and documenting the numerous types and styles of historic buildings in the Commonwealth. The guide first provides an overview of Virginia’s architectural heritage within the context of larger historic trends, from its colonial era settlement and role in the founding of the United States, to the elimination of its slavery-based economy, and on through the economic, technological and cultural innovations of the early twentieth century. We have compiled the architectural styles and forms discussed herein based on terminology used by DHR’s Virginia Cultural Resources Information System (VCRIS) database (public portal available at https://vcris.dhr.virginia.gov/vcris/Mapviewer/), and guidance for using the system is provided as well. The majority of this publication consists of Style and Form information sheets that provide basic information about and character-defining aspects of the many historic architectural styles that have shaped Virginia’s public and private spaces across more than three centuries. Weaving architectural design trends together with larger historic patterns provides for a more holistic understanding of how Virginia’s built environment came to be. Thus, in addition to images and a bulleted list of character-defining features, each style is given a brief history to provide context.

As with any major undertaking such as this, the press and public had opinions to share, both in England and America, many of which are found in newspapers of the day. Articles, editorials, and letters to the editors are explored here in an effort to understand \vhy citizens of both countries felt the way they did.

    PRESERVATION BEGINS AT HOME by Danielle Marie Kahler (Under the Long Distance Direction of John C. Waters) ABSTRACT Interpretation is an important part of the operation of a historic house museum. A well presented, thematic tour can make for an exciting visit. The driving force behind the interpretation is usually the reason why the house was conceived as a museum. Using only information that a tourist could obtain, this study observed the tours of three house museums in Richmond, Virginia: Agecroft Hall, Virginia House and Wilton House. These tours were then compared to a set of interpretation standards defined through the research. By understanding this general examination, several suggestions were made regarding interpretation at house museums in the United States as well as the three visited house museums. Updating interpretation plans are crucial to gaining new visitors. INDEX WORDS: Historic house museums; Interpretation; Thematic tours; Tour interpretation standards; Historic preservation; Tour guides PRESERVATION BEGINS AT HOME by Danielle Marie Kahler B.A., Hood College, 2005 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION ATHENS, GEORGIA 2013 © 2013 Danielle Marie Kahler All Rights Reserved PRESERVATION BEGINS AT HOME by DANIELLE MARIE KAHLER Major Professor: John C.
