Describe contributing and noncontributing resources if applicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph: Located along the north side of Amherst Street in the City of Winchester, Hawthorne is an excellent local example of an early-19th-century stone dwelling that rests on the foundation of an earlier house. The two-story, five-bay, hip-roofed stone dwelling is Late Georgian in its massing but has Federal-style detailing and was constructed ca. 1811 for Alfred H. Powell by local builder Lewis Barnett. A rear brick service wing was added during the ownership of Thomas Tidball ca. 1840. Since that time relatively few alterations have occurred that detract from the historic integrity of the house. Once the center of a large Frederick County estate on the outskirts of Winchester, the property now encompasses nearly five acres, and is one of the largest residential lots in the city. The bucolic setting of the house, on a hill overlooking Amherst Street, is further enhanced by stone entry gateposts and walls, a contributing structure, that surround the property on the south and east. Although it was originally part of Hawthorne, a ca. 1816 brick springhouse, a contributing resource known as the Old Town Spring, is sited near the southwest corner of the property and has been owned by the City of Winchester since 1840. A ca. 1915 stone garage contributes to the property; a brick potting shed, constructed in the mid-19th century, has been altered substantially and is a non-contributing resource. ______________________________________________________________________________ Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Hawthorne and Old Town Spring City of Winchester, Virginia Name of Property County and State Narrative Description Detailed Description: Site Description Hawthorne stands on a sloping, approximately five-acre parcel on the north side of Amherst Street in the City of Winchester. The house is sited on top of a hill near the rear of the property and has a commanding view of the front yard, which includes the Old Town Spring near the southwest corner. Originally part of Hawthorne, the spring and the early-19th-century springhouse that rests above it have been owned by the City for nearly 175 years. The City continues to maintain it, although the spring no longer provides municipal water. Access to the springhouse and its surrounding yard, which includes a stone retaining wall and what may be remnants of another building or structure south of the present springhouse, is off of Amherst Street. Bearing north at an angle off Amherst Street, Whittier Avenue defines the western boundary of the Hawthorne property. Along the eastern boundary is Hawthorne Drive, which runs from Amherst Street north and provides access to the residential subdivision that was developed behind Hawthorne in the 1950s. Now contained within the Winchester City limits, the portion of Amherst Street that defines the southern boundary of Hawthorne was originally in Frederick County and was a major western road out of Winchester. It was known as Romney Road on historic maps as it led to Romney, Virginia (now West Virginia), 40 miles to the west. Although Amherst Street is now primarily commercial in nature, several of the large houses that once lined it remain intact, and this street provides one of the more elegant entrances into Winchester’s downtown area. Access to Hawthorne off Amherst Street is marked by two early-20th-century stone gateposts with iron gates that tie into the earlier 19th-century stone walls that border the street. The teardrop-shaped paved driveway leads to the front of the house, with a section that veers off at the southeast corner of the house to the garage and potting shed. Hawthorne’s well-landscaped yard is primarily open although it contains numerous mature deciduous trees, evergreens, and shrubs. A stone retaining wall directly in front of the house was constructed by the current owners, as was the small formal garden and the brick courtyard in the rear. Modern wrought-iron fencing encircles an area west of the house that includes

  • Married to the Confederacy: the Emotional Politics Of
    MARRIED TO THE CONFEDERACY: THE EMOTIONAL POLITICS OF CONFEDERATE WIDOWHOOD by ANGELA ESCO ELDER (Under the Direction of Stephen Berry) ABSTRACT Between 1861 and 1865, approximately three million men left for war; the war killed 750,000 of them. In the process, more than 200,000 white women became widows. This dissertation examines the complicated emotional and political relationships between Confederate widows and the Confederate state. Throughout the American Civil War, Confederate newspapers and government officials championed a particular version of white widowhood—the young wife who selflessly transferred her monogamous love from dead husband to the deathless cause for which he fought. Only then would their husbands live forever—as would their Cause. But a closer look at the letters and diaries of widows reveals that these women spent their new cultural capital with great practicality and shrewdness. Indeed, even as their culture created an entire industry in their name, widows played the role on their own terms to forward their own ends. Precisely because society invested widowhood with so much significance, it inadvertently created the stage upon which an unforeseen and unprecedented number of young Confederate women could be seen and heard.

  • 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.
