Prehistoric and Historic Contexts for Albemarle County, Virginia FROM THE MONACANS TO MONTICELLO AND BEYOND: PREHISTORIC AND HISTORIC CONTEXTS FOR ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA Submitted to: Virginia Department of Historic Resources 221 Governor Street Richmond, Virginia 23219 Submitted by: Garrow & Associates, Inc. 417 North Boylan Avenue Raleigh, North Carolina 27603 Prepared by: Richard Mattson Frances Alexander Daniel Cassedy and Geoffrey Henry May 1995 DEDICATION This report is dedicated to the memory of Jeffrey Marshall O'Dell (1950-1994). As an architectural historian for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources from 1974 through 1992, he surveyed and wrote about Virginia architecture of all periods and varieties. This study is the culmination of the field survey and research that Jeff conducted in Albernarle County for more than ten years. His connection with the people, history, and architecture of the county will be a guiding preservation legacy to future generations. ABSTRACT This document presents a series of historic context narratives for Albemarle County, Virginia. These contexts were developed as a first attempt to synthesize the abundant primary data on the prehistory, history, archaeology, and architecture of this noteworthy county. They are intended for use by other researchers and planners in the evaluation of resource significance and in the identification of preservation planning priorities. They can also be used by interested residents as an educational reference and a key to resource types representative of a given period or theme. The project was sponsored by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) on behalf of Albemarle County, and the research was conducted by a team from the two consulting firms of Garrow & Associates, Inc. and Mattson, Alexander & Associates. Research and text development took place in 1994, with report review and final production taking place in 1995. The researchers used the existing archaeology and architecture survey files at the DHR in addition to a variety of secondary sources to develop 18 historic themes for Albemarle County. The themes and time periods used follow the guidelines previously established by the DHR for historic contexts in Virginia. The report illustrates that Albemarle County has one of the best collections of domestic architecture in Virginia, ranging in age from small, mid-eighteenth century, vernacular dwellings to impressive, early twentieth century, Classical Revival mansions. Although, in the past, the oldest and grandest houses have received the most attention, the county also has large numbers of historic properties with lower profiles, such as agricultural outbuildings, slave dwellings, farmers' houses, country stores, and taverns. The survey files also document an extensive inventory of community resources, such as numerous chools and a wide cross section of churches. Although not as comprehensively documented, the county also has a good collection of resources related to transportation, technology, and industry, such as mills, quarries, roads, railroads, canals, locks, dams, and tunnels. Both archaeological sites and standing structures and features are represented in this inventory, with a strong potential for future multiple resource survey and nomination efforts. In addition to the survival of numerous individual resources, Albemarle County retains a great deal of integrity in landscape features-such as scenic vistas, tree- lined entrance lanes, and agrarian land-use patterns-that contribute to the historic character of the county. However, with the exception of the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District, the landscape theme is little developed in the survey files. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project was made possible by the collaborative efforts of many people. Marc Wagner provided oversight for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and greatly facilitated the flow of information between the DHR, Albemarle County, the consultants, and local experts. In the county planning office, Mary Joy Scala also provided access to vital information and an insightful review of the draft report. We received help from a number of people with considerable prior experience in the history, architecture, and archaeology of Albemarle County. Dr. Jeffrey Hantman generously shared his knowledge of the prehistory of Albemarle County - and provided copies of both published and unpublished reports of research conducted by him and his colleagues at the University of Virginia. Dr. Hantman's studies build upon a solid foundation previously established by Dr. C. G. Holland. - A meeting was held at Charlottesville in June 1994 at which local experts provided - considerable guidance to help focus the development of the contexts and identify the most relevant historic resources for each of the 18 themes. In attendance at this meeting were: Katharine Imhoff, S. Barclay Rives, Sarah Lee Barnes, James Eddins, - Dr. K. Edward Lay, Melinda Byrd Frierson, Babette Thorpe, Mary Joy Scala, and Marc Wagner. Helpful written comments on the draft report were provided by Dr. Lay, Ms. Frierson, Mr. Rives, and Mr. Eddins. - At Mattson, Alexander & Associates, Richard Mattson and Frances Alexander prepared most of the text on historic architectural resources, with a major - contribution on the Domestic and Architecture themes from their subconsultant, Geoff Henry. At Garrow & Associates, Daniel Cassedy coordinated the project, prepared the text on archaeology and prehistory, and oversaw the integration and editing of text from all authors and the insertion of resource illustrations. Technical editing was provided by Garrow's staff editor, Daniel Dolensky. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION .i .

  • Georgetown's Historic Houses
    VITUAL FIELD TRIPS – GEORGETOWN’S HISTORIC HOUSES Log Cabin This log cabin looks rather small and primitive to us today. But at the time it was built, it was really quite an advance for the gold‐seekers living in the area. The very first prospectors who arrived in the Georgetown region lived in tents. Then they built lean‐tos. Because of the Rocky Mountain's often harsh winters, the miners soon began to build cabins such as this one to protect themselves from the weather. Log cabin in Georgetown Photo: N/A More About This Topic Log cabins were a real advance for the miners. Still, few have survived into the 20th century. This cabin, which is on the banks of Clear Creek, is an exception. This cabin actually has several refinements. These include a second‐story, glass windows, and interior trim. Perhaps these things were the reasons this cabin has survived. It is not known exactly when the cabin was built. But clues suggest it was built before 1870. Historic Georgetown is now restoring the cabin. The Tucker‐Rutherford House James and Albert Tucker were brothers. They ran a grocery and mercantile business in Georgetown. It appears that they built this house in the 1870s or 1880s. Rather than living the house themselves, they rented it to miners and mill workers. Such workers usually moved more often than more well‐to‐do people. They also often rented the places where they lived. When this house was built, it had only two rooms. Another room was added in the 1890s.

  • Palladio's Influence in America
    Palladio’s Influence In America Calder Loth, Senior Architectural Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2008 marks the 500th anniversary of Palladio’s birth. We might ask why Americans should consider this to be a cause for celebration. Why should we be concerned about an Italian architect who lived so long ago and far away? As we shall see, however, this architect, whom the average American has never heard of, has had a profound impact on the architectural image of our country, even the city of Baltimore. But before we investigate his influence we should briefly explain what Palladio’s career involved. Palladio, of course, designed many outstanding buildings, but until the twentieth century few Americans ever saw any of Palladio’s works firsthand. From our standpoint, Palladio’s most important achievement was writing about architecture. His seminal publication, I Quattro Libri dell’ Architettura or The Four Books on Architecture, was perhaps the most influential treatise on architecture ever written. Much of the material in that work was the result of Palladio’s extensive study of the ruins of ancient Roman buildings. This effort was part of the Italian Renaissance movement: the rediscovery of the civilization of ancient Rome—its arts, literature, science, and architecture. Palladio was by no means the only architect of his time to undertake such a study and produce a publication about it. Nevertheless, Palladio’s drawings and text were far more engaging, comprehendible, informative, and useful than similar efforts by contemporaries. As with most Renaissance-period architectural treatises, Palladio illustrated and described how to delineate and construct the five orders—the five principal types of ancient columns and their entablatures.

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.
