Historic buildings - Virginia - Williamsburg - 1930-1939 Williamsburg (Va.) - Photographs Williamsburg (Va.) - Buildings, structures, etc. Description An account of the resource Todd and Brown, Incorporated, a subsidiary firm of Todd, Robertson and Todd Engineering Corporation, headquartered in New York City, entered into a contract with the Williamsburg Holding Corporation on June 6, 1928. The engineers and contractors carried out work as directed by the architects and landscape architects on the reconstruction and restoration of historic structures and gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. Mr. Webster B. Todd and Mr. J.O. Brown served as the principals of Todd and Brown, Incorporated. They appointed Robert Trimble to head the firm's Williamsburg office. Between 1928 and 1934, the Williamsburg crew undertook many different construction tasks in support of the museum's development and the relocation of the town's business district to Merchants Square. The Williamsburg office closed in 1934, when Williamsburg Restoration Inc. established its own Construction and Maintenance Department. However, the firm continued to be involved in a supervisory capacity with the building of the Williamsburg Inn from 1936 to 1938. The Todd and Brown Inc. Photograph Collection, AV2010.3, encompasses over eight hundred negatives and their corresponding photographic prints housed in an album. Systematic examination of the town and extensive planning occurred before the contractors began their assignment to demolish or move buildings not dating to the colonial era. Each photograph they took served a documentary purpose of recording a colonial structure, modern dwelling, business, church, municipal building, or outbuilding as it appeared prior to any work proceeding at a site. The collection is thus a significant archive of the many homes, grocery stores, general stores, gas stations, barber shops, banks, and offices that once stretched up and down Duke of Gloucester Street. It also offers many pre-restoration views of eighteenth-century buildings that had undergone modifications by later residents. A selection of images offers views of early progress on the reconstruction of such public buildings as the Capitol and Raleigh Tavern.

Title A name given to the resource Selections from the Frank Nivison Photograph Collection Subject The topic of the resource Nivison, Frank Black and white photographs Historic buildings - Virginia - Williamsburg Public buildings - Virginia - Williamsburg Architecture, Domestic - Virginia - Williamsburg Architecture, Colonial - Virginia - Williamsburg Description An account of the resource Frank Reginald Nivison served as a contract photographer for Colonial Williamsburg during the initial restoration of the town between 1930 and 1935. Prior to this, he served as a darkroom assistant at the University Film Foundation at Harvard University. He was hired by the Williamsburg Holding Corp. to take progress photos of construction and restoration work, as well as of buildings to be wrecked or moved. According to a memo issued by architect William G. Perry to Frank Nivison on December 12, 1930, his work was to “…include the photography of all buildings and parts of buildings, exterior and interior, which the architects deem necessary for architectural and historical purposes. Such photographs would be supplemented by progress photographs of construction work as it proceeds. All buildings to be wrecked should be photographed before the wrecking takes place. In addition, there will be photographs of furniture, fabrics, and objects of all kinds.” Nivison set up a small photographic studio in a room in the Bruton Parish House. His equipment included a Zeiss camera, 5x7 inch, with a F 4.5 lens and a special magazine for cut films, along with a Mitchell tripod with a ball and socket head. His darkroom equipment consisted of an Eastman Auto-focus Enlarger, printing machines, and various accessories such as tanks and scales. Over the course of five years, he took more than 7,000 photographs documenting each stage of the restoration or reconstruction of various 18th-century buildings in Williamsburg. Copies of these photographs were forwarded to the offices of Perry, Shaw, & Hepburn in Boston so that the architects could monitor the progress of various projects. Nivison’s photographs were also used to produce postcards, “before and after” lantern slides, and publicity relating to the restoration of Williamsburg. By late 1935, Nivison had started taking on a lot of outside photography business and Colonial Williamsburg officials felt he should establish himself as an independent photographer. Nivison’s employment with Colonial Williamsburg terminated on July 1, 1935. However, Colonial Williamsburg continued to utilize his services on an as needed basis and assisted him in setting up his own business in Williamsburg. Unfortunately, Nivison did not attract enough outside commissions to enable him to operate independently and filed for bankruptcy in 1937. He applied to Colonial Williamsburg for a monthly retainer fee for his periodic services and was given $100.00 per month to draw upon in 1938. With the advent of World War II, Nivison moved back to Massachusetts in 1940. Still Image A static visual representation.

Wilson Hodges Photograph Collection Subject The topic of the resource Public buildings - Virginia - Williamsburg - 1900-1910 Historic buildings - Virginia - Williamsburg - 1900-1910 Williamsburg (Va.) - Photographs Williamsburg (Va.) - Buildings, structures, etc. Description An account of the resource Nineteen albumen photographs and one silver gelatin photograph mounted on board of historic structures in Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown, Virginia, either taken by or collected by Q. Wilson Hodges while a student at the College of William and Mary. Among the photos documenting historic structures in Williamsburg are the Powder Magazine, the George Wythe House, Bruton Parish Church, the Wren Building, the Brafferton Building, and the President’s House. A view looking west down Duke of Gloucester Street from the Capitol site shows the exposed foundations of the structure as excavated by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) after their acquisition of the property in 1897. The monument erected in 1904 to commemorate members of the House of Burgesses who formed associations against the importation of British goods is visible at the center of the photo. Another intriguing photograph captures the crenellated brick building next to the Thomas Everard House that served as a law office. It was torn down in the early 1950s when restoration work progressed to the Everard property. Located on the north side of the Everard House on Palace Green, the small outbuilding resembling a castle became a distinctive landmark when Misses Estelle and Cora Smith opened the house to boarders in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes images of the ruins of the church tower and Ambler House on Jamestown Island and Grace Episcopal Church and the Moore House in Yorktown. Invented by French photographer Louis Desire Blanquart Evrard in 1850, the albumen print became a dominant photographic process between 1855-1895. A wet-plate process, it involved sensitizing salted paper in a silver nitrate bath, drying it, and then placing the paper in a frame that could then be put in contact with a glass-collodian negative. When exposed to daylight, the photographic image would begin to appear on the paper. An egg white binder aided in distributing the light sensitive particles in a smooth manner across the paper. This binder is what helps give albumen prints a glossy surface and their trademark yellow or reddish brown cast. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hodges, Q.

Shurcliff [ne Shurtleff] (1870 – 1957) was the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s first landscape architect. A student of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., considered the father of landscape architecture in America, Shurcliff’s Williamsburg gardens are recognized as consummate examples of the Colonial Revival style. Arthur Shurcliff arrived in Williamsburg in 1928 to join the Williamsburg office of architects Perry, Shaw and Hepburn. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, Shurcliff worked in the office of well-known landscape architects, Charles W. Eliot and Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. in Brookline, Massachusetts between 1896-1905. He then opened his own landscape design practice and received commissions for many landscape projects in Boston, such as the grounds of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Charles River Esplanade, and the Franklin Park Zoo. Between 1928 and 1941, Shurcliff oversaw the planning and layout of gardens at Colonial Williamsburg, as well as of traffic patterns, parking, and street curb design, and continued to advise in a consultant capacity until just before his death in 1957. Shurcliff’s series of pencil sketches on tissue paper are conceptual views, many from a bird’s-eye perspective, that he and his associates designed to serve as illustrations for discussions about how guests would access the overall Historic Area, as well as specific gardens, and navigate through them. Some also offer ground level views of vistas and landscape features to show the strengths and weaknesses of several variations for a particular design concept.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Singleton P. Moorehead Streetscapes Description An account of the resource Singleton P. Moorehead (1900 – 1964), was born in Saranac, NY, attended Harvard (BA, 1922; M. Arch, 1927), and was employed in 1928 by the Boston architectural firm of Perry, Shaw and Hepburn. In the same year, he came to Williamsburg as a member of its' architectural field office responsible for the initial restoration work in the historic area. He married Cynthia Beverley Tucker Coleman, a descendant of colonial era Williamsburg resident St. George Tucker. Staying on, Moorehead joined the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s architectural office at its creation in 1934, became director of architecture from 1944 – 48, and continued as an architectural consultant until his death. This collection of streetscapes was created by Moorehead for the use of John D. Rockefeller Jr. They were created at a reduced scale so Rockefeller might study recommendations comfortably in his limousine. By comparing the small-scale view with what he saw through car windows, he was able to decide whether to approve funding for the work. The colored dots denote four different kinds of properties. Blue indicates additional work to be done at properties already restored or reconstructed; red signified work proposed for properties owned by the restoration; black indicated work to be done at properties owned by the restoration but subject to life tenure and green indicated work to be performed at future acquisitions. The nine streetscapes in this collection were executed by Moorehead to accompany a February 20, 1939 report entitled: Proposed Ultimate Restoration Work” written by A. Edwin Kendrew, Foundation Architect and head of Colonial Williamsburg’s architectural staff. About these illustrations, Moorehead wrote: “I made some renderings in water color and crayon … And I did elevations of all the streets that occurred in the area where restoration or reconstruction work was or was to be done. Those were mounted on stiff cardboard mats. I think in all there were about eighteen feet of them … Those were passed to Mr. Rockefeller, and he toured the town in his car. He would go up one side of the street and down the other and follow the schedule by circles of color … He didn’t have to stand around with the wind blowing huge blueprints and stuff. He just had these simple little renderings. (They were quite attractive, even if I do say so.) He bought the proposition, and then the fun really started.” Still Image A static visual representation.

By returns from the General, it manifestly appears, that five thousand one<br />hundred and seventeen are wanting to compleat your battalions to five hundred and four rank<br />and file ; and by reiterated applications lately received from his Excellency and the Committee of<br />Congress, we are assured, in the most explicit terms, that the completion of this number can, on no<br />consideration, be dispensed with : And this Court would be unable to answer it, in requiring at this<br />time so small a number as is expressed in the subsequent resolve, on any other principle than their de-<br />pendence on the fidelity of every friend to his country in executing the other resolve herein contained,<br />for hastening to camp all recruits, deserters, and soldiers on furlough.</p> <br /><p>We are not insensible of the burthens of the community ; we shall chearfully share them in com-<br />mon with our brethren ; considering the absolute necessity of the present requisition, we dare not for-<br />bear it, and surely our countrymen have too much sense, and too much virtue, to indlge such an at-<br />tachment to their farms and their merchandize, as, for the sake of a few months enjoyment of them,<br />at the present crisis, to hazard the loss of them forever.</p> <br /><p>The demands for men, as well as for supplies, are truly large ; but we fear not to discourage you by<br />their largeness, for they are necessary, and they are surely in our power : This is the hour then to<br />prove the sincerity of past professions.</p> <br /><p>Though we have much to fear from indecision, yet we have every thing to hope from exertion -<br />nothing less than, at one stroke, to put a period to the war ; for we have the fullest assurances of such<br />aid from our illustrious Ally, as was never before on these shores : The hourly expectation of their ar-<br />rival, and the late success of the enemy at the Southward, will push them, with the greatest precipi-<br />tancy, to attempt those advantages they may hope to gain from our present situation. We have<br />therefore, to repeat it, with the plainest freedom, that the smallest deficiency in the numbers herein re-<br />quired, cannot be dispensed with ; and that it is of equal moment that the men be hastened to the<br />place of rendezvous, with a celerity equal to the urgency of the present moment.</p> <br /><p>Resolved, That the several towns and plantations in the counties of <em>Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex, Hamp-<br />shire, Plymouth, Bristol, Barnstable, Worcester, York,</em> and <em>Berkshire,</em> be, and they hereby are required, with<br />the utmost dispatch possible, to supply a number of men equal to one fourth part of the number allotted<br />to them respectively, by a resolve of this Court of the 5th instant, and that the said men be raised by<br />draft, lot, or voluntary inlistment, as prescribed by said resolve, and serve for six months, from the time<br />of their arrival at <em>Springfield,/em&gt;, unless sooner discharged ; and the before-mentioned resolve of the 5th<br />instant, as it designates the duties of the several militia officers therein named, and also of the Selectmen,<br />Committees of Correspondence, of the Superintendants, Commissioner, and of every other officer and<br />person therein named, and every other clause and article of said resolve, respecting wages, fines, for-<br />feitures, and every other matter and thing, shall avail and be observed with respect to the number of<br />men herein called for, as fully and compleatley as it might and ought to have done with respect to the<br />three thousand nine hundred and thirty-four men therein required, excepting so far only as it names<br />the days when the several returns are to be made ; and returns of the men hereby required, similar<br />to those prescribed in the above-mentioned resolve, are to be made without the smallest delay.</em></p> <br /><p><em>Provided nevertheless,</em> That the above-said men are not required to equip themselves, as is directed by said resolve.</p> <br /><p><em>It is further Resolved,</em> That in any case where a fraction shall remain, after taking one fourth of thenumber allotted to anyh town, by the schedule accompanying the said resolve of the 5th instant, if such<br />fraction amount to three,every townwhere such fraction shall happen, shall be held to supply a manfor<br />the same ; and all the fines and forfeitures prescribed by the before-mentioned resolves, shall be incurred<br />for a failure in this instance, as well as in any other.</p> <br /> This requisition is by no means to retard the mcarch of the men required by the resolution of the<br />5th instant : but in any case where the men, by that resolve required, shall not have marched before<br />the receipt hereof, the militia officers and all others concerned, are hereby most SOLEMNLY EN-<br />JOINED to dispatch all such IMMEDIATELY, <em>as the smallest delay may be attended with the most<br />serious consequences</em>.<br /><p><em>Resolved</em>, That all militia Officers, Selectmen; and Committees of Correspondence, &amp;c. be, and they<br />hereby are again required, to pay strict attention to the directions of teh act published in <em>May</em> last, for<br />apprehending and securing deserters ; and forthwith to secure all such as do not immediately take the<br />benefit of the late generous proclamation of the Commander in Chief.---Said Officers, Selectmen, and<br />Committees, are further required to cause all recruits and soldiers on furlough, whose furloughs have<br />expired, to proceed immediately to camp ;and on refusal or delay of any such, to treat him as a deser-<br />ter :---A neglect of this measure will render unaviodable a further call for men to make up their de-<br />ficiency.</p> <br />Sent up for concurence.<br /><div>JOHN HANCOCK, Speaker.</div> Original Format If the image is of an object, state the type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Watercolor and crayon on paper.

Title A name given to the resource Robert Lowell Warner Aerial Photographs Subject The topic of the resource Warner, Robert Lowell Aerial photography - Virginia - Williamsburg Photography, Military - United States African American neighborhoods - Virginia - Williamsburg World War, 1939-1945 - War work - Virginia - Wiliamsburg Williamsburg - History - 20th century Williamsburg (Va.) - Buildings, structures, etc. Description An account of the resource Aerial Perspectives on Wartime Williamsburg Today’s Rockefeller Library volunteer photographer, Wayne Reynolds, is capturing aerial footage of Williamsburg via a camera attached to a drone. His simulations of flying over Williamsburg add a new perspective to a large archive of aerial photography dating back to the 1920s. Military aircraft from Langley Field captured some of the earliest bird’s-eye views as they documented the terrain for defensive purposes and strategic planning. Some of their aerial images became part of the visual archive the Williamsburg office of architects Perry, Shaw and Hepburn began assembling to aid their study of the town prior to making any changes. Today these photos enhance understanding of the restoration process by showing the many structures that had to be moved or demolished to bring the Historic Area back to its eighteenth-century appearance. In some instances, they may offer the best visual documentation of how different buildings stood in relation to each other in late 1920s Williamsburg. A long-ago training exercise by a service member has preserved some unique aerial photos of Williamsburg’s Historic Area as it appeared during its next phase of development during World War II. Received as a donation from the Warner family, the series of images taken by Robert Lowell Warner, a United States Navy photographer, document Colonial Williamsburg’s wartime mission of providing educational field trips as part of basic training for soldiers from Fort Eustis and Camp Peary, as well as providing a place for recreation and relaxation to rejuvenate servicemen and their families from other surrounding bases, such a Naval Station Norfolk. The U.S. Navy Photographic Squadron conducted aerial surveys over the Hampton Roads region to allow its crew to hone its skills working with the special cameras and taking photographs wearing a safety harness out an open door of the aircraft. Aerial photographers played a critical role in wartime military operations. They carefully documented terrain from above to aid in planning for defensive and offensive actions. In coordination with photo lithographic units that could rapidly develop and print images, the photographers aided military strategists in quickly planning for aerial maneuvers. Robert Lowell Warner, a professional photographer from Charleston, West Virginia, enlisted in the United States Naval Reserves on March 10, 1944 and served until January 3, 1946, when he was honorably discharged with the rank of Photographer’s Mate, Second Class. As an employee of the Photographic Squadron Two at Naval Air Station Norfolk, Warner learned to operate special large format cameras used to create aerial photographs for mapping purposes. The photos taken during training exercises in turn provided images that other soldiers could use to practice interpreting images to calculate the sizes of structures and other features at ground level, an important tool for planning military strategy in combat zones. A series of aerial photos could also be used to generate very precise maps useful in both wartime and peacetime. Warner and his wife took advantage of the recreational opportunities for servicemen and their families at Colonial Williamsburg when taking leave from the Naval Air Station Norfolk. The family holds a 1941 Colonial Williamsburg guidebook and admission tickets for the Raleigh Tavern and the Ludwell-Paradise House dating to 1945. A record of their visits is also preserved in a series of photographs Warner took while touring the Historic Area, including a still life of cooking implements in a fireplace, the Governor’s Palace maze, and various street scenes and exterior building views. They clearly benefitted from the opportunity to rest and recharge offered by the military furlough at Williamsburg and later brought their children back for an educational museum visit. After his discharge, Warner moved back to Charleston, West Virginia and continued his career as a photographer, eventually becoming the chief photographer of the Union Carbide South Charleston Technical Center’s photo lab. Shot in early color transparency format, the donated set of eight aerial photos offer sharp, detail-oriented perspectives on various regions of the Historic Area in 1945, some of which are quite different in appearance today. In the first example, an aerial view looking towards the east ends of Duke of Gloucester and Francis Streets, Waller Street is shown in an undeveloped state with the Kelly House standing on the site of Christiana Campbell’s Tavern. It was later demolished in the 1950s to allow for reconstruction of the tavern which opened in May 1956. Capitol Landing Road, visible in the upper left, includes a few houses still standing today, such as the one housing the Governor’s Trace Bed & Breakfast. A second aerial focusing upon the Palace Green area includes a military bus parked in front of the Governor’s Palace where servicemen disembarked for an educational visit. In 1944 and 1945, many convalescent soldiers from area military hospitals toured Colonial Williamsburg as the Soldier Sailor Training Program scaled back and the Historic Area became a significant component of rehabilitation efforts. It also offers a view of the area at the rear of the Governor’s Palace gardens near the C&O railroad tracks where townspeople planted and maintained Victory Gardens. Another example, a view of the Capitol site looking towards Block 17, housing the Raleigh Tavern, and Blocks 27 and 28 along east Nicholson Street, is significant for its visual documentation of an entire neighborhood now disappeared that once served Williamsburg’s hospitality employees and African American community during the era of segregation. Today the area encompasses Colonial Williamsburg’s Franklin Street administrative buildings, bus operations, archaeological collections building, millwork shop, laundry, commissary, and warehouse. Two churches, Mount Ararat Baptist Church, on Franklin Street, and Union Baptist Church, on Botetourt Street, served the spiritual needs of residents. Along Raleigh Lane, extending off of Nicholson Street near the Public Gaol, stood the Odd Fellows Hall, also known as the Morninglight Lodge, the Hillside Café/Wallace and Cook’s Beer Garden restaurant, and the Thomas Confectionary, all of which provided venues for social and philanthropic activities during the era of segregation. The Toby Scott restaurant and store across Botetourt Street from Mount Ararat Baptist Church gave neighbors another place to shop and congregate. As part of its effort to attract and retain well-trained hotel and restaurant workers from larger cities to work at hospitality properties, Colonial Williamsburg constructed a row of six white clapboard houses along East Scotland Street in the 1930s. They offered comfortable and up-to-date homes with a living room, full kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and screened porches. Known as “White City” due to the painted white clapboard siding used on all six dwellings, they became the residences of chefs, bellmen, dining room captains, chauffeurs, and housekeepers for the Williamsburg Inn and Lodge. A large white clapboard dormitory building visible on the site of today’s Franklin Street Office Building provided additional lodging for single employees during a period when wartime housing pressures pushed Williamsburg to convert all useable spaces into extra accommodations. Today’s only remainder of this once vibrant neighborhood is Mount Ararat Baptist Church which still stands on Franklin Street next to the Franklin Street Office Building. While the original intent of Robert Lowell Warner’s aerial photography is long past, the Rockefeller Library is pleased to add digital copies and corresponding inkjet prints to its photo archives, where they will serve a new purpose as an important record of Williamsburg from a bird’s-eye perspective during the 1940s. The aerial views are a significant legacy of the wartime years donated by the Warner family in honor of their father and of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. They tell the story of one of the many thousands of soldiers who passed through wartime Williamsburg and upon whom the Historic Area left a lasting impression through the viewfinder of his camera.
