The files below these subseries are project titles arranged in general chronological order grouped together by year.","The files in Series 4, Project photograph files, are arranged alphabetically.","Charles Morrison Robinson was born on March 3, 1867, in Hamilton, Loudoun County, Virginia. He was the eldest son of architect and builder James T. Robinson and Elizabeth Crockett Robinson. His family relocated to Welland, Ontario, where he completed his early schooling before beginning architectural training under D.S. Hopkins in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and John K. Peebles in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1889, he formed his first partnership—Smith \u0026 Robinson—in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He married Annie Custer in 1891, and their son, Charles Custer Robinson, was born two years later.","Following years of practice in Pennsylvania, including partnerships with George T. Smith, R.B. Crockett, and George Winkler, Robinson returned to Virginia in 1906, establishing Charles M. Robinson, Architect in Richmond. Robinson became a leading designer for a future comprehensive statewide public school system mandated by Virginia's 1902 Constitution.","Between 1906 and 1932, Robinson's practice produced plans for more than 400 public schools and many university buildings, including commissions in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News, Portsmouth, and dozens of rural counties. Robinson's standardized plans were paired with styles ranging from Arts \u0026 Crafts to Collegiate Gothic, Spanish Revival, and Art Deco. His schools featured ample light, logical circulation, and adaptable common spaces.","In 1908 he won the commission to design the campus of the State Normal School at Harrisonburg, now James Madison University, designing its first seven buildings and subsequent expansions through 1928. He designed foundational campuses for the institutions now known as the University of Mary Washington, Radford University, and Virginia State University, and oversaw more than sixty major projects for the College of William \u0026 Mary between 1921 and 1931, including the Sunken Garden and numerous residence halls, academic buildings, and the George Preston Blow Gymnasium.","His practice also extended beyond education. In 1918 he designed the tuberculosis sanitariums (sanatoriums) at Catawba, Burkeville, and Charlottesville for the Virginia State Board of Health. In Richmond, he designed civic and commercial structures, including the Times-Dispatch Building, Stuart Circle Hospital, Grace Hospital, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the Sunday School Building at Ginter Park Methodist Church, and (in partnership with his former apprentice Marcellus Wright, Sr.) the ACCA Shriner Mosque—today the Altria Theater. Residentially, his Laburnum Court development introduced an early twentieth-century model of middle-class housing arranged around a landscaped central park.","By the 1920s, Robinson had expanded his firm to include his son Charles Custer Robinson, Benjamin A. Ruffin, and John Binford Walford, who became partners in Charles M. Robinson, Architects in 1922. Although Robinson retired to his farm in Hampton in 1926, he remained professionally active, producing drawings at home and visiting construction sites. Robinson died on August 20, 1932, at age 66 in a Norfolk hospital, and the firm was formally dissolved the following day.","The practice he founded continued through multiple generations of architects, evolving through successive names—J. Binford Walford, Architect (1932–1946); Walford \u0026 Wright (1946–1962); Wright, Jones \u0026 Wilkerson (1962–1991); Wright, Jones, Wilkerson, Rothschild \u0026 Boynton (1991–1994); and finally Boynton, Rothschild, Rowland (1994–2020).

Robinson Files (1978, 2020, undated; 1 folder), includes copies of documents about Charles M. Robinson, such as a copy of his Architecture License. There is also a copy of a short essay about Robinson's role in the construction of the ACCA Shrine, now known as the Altria Theater.","Series 2, Office records (circa 1935-1992, undated; 18 folders), includes office records, which are arranged in decreasing order of their significance/functionality to the firm's operations. Most notably are the lists of commissions, index to the architectural drawings, and the commission notes. These records cover the majority of the timeline following Robinson's death.","Series 3, Architectural drawings (1907-2012, undated; 3 oversized boxes, 93 flat file folders, 4 tubes, 1457 tube boxes), the largest part of this collection, consists of the firm's architectural drawings and design plans, as well as the drawings and plans Robinson created in his role as the official school board architect for several cities and counties in Virginia, and as an architect for the Virginia State Board of Health. They span more than a century beginning in 1907 and ending in 2012 and represent over 1600 projects.","Included are drawings, designs, and plans for educational institutions, hospitals, churches, offices, retail stores, private residences, and plots across the state of Virginia. The series also includes topographic maps and site studies. There are original designs, proposed designs, voided designs, additions, alterations, and renovations. The designs are comprehensive, and include work on interiors and exteriors, plumbing and ventilation systems, and landscape works.","Primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools in locations across Virginia are very well represented by the plans in this collection. More well-known post-secondary educational institutions include the College of William and Mary, James Madison University, Raford University, University of Mary Washington, George Mason University, and Virginia Commonwealth University. However, the number of primary and secondary schools represented in the collection is even greater.","Of particular significance are the designs and plans the firm created for educational institutions for students from underrepresented, historically oppressed, and marginalized groups. These include the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind, the Virginia State University, the nation's first fully-state supported four-year post-secondary learning institution for Black Americans, and the HBCUs Norfolk State University and Virginia Union University.","The works that Robinson completed as an architect for the Virginia State Board of Health include plans and designs for the Catawba, Blue Ridge, and Piedmont Tuberculosis sanitoriums (rehabilitation center, hospice, etc.). Robinson's work in this role also affected the lives of people from underrepresented groups, as the Piedmont institution was developed specifically for the care of Black residents of Virginia.","Series 4, Project photograph files (circa 1855-1999, undated; 9 boxes, 15 folders), includes many of the project photograph files from the architectural firm. Although there are some items from Robinson's time with the firm, the large majority are dated and document the projects from after his death on August 20, 1932. The photograph file index introduces the rest of the series, which includes prints, negatives, photo documentation from John Binford Walford and Oscar Pendleton Wright's photograph albums, and undated presentation photos.","This collection contains some in-copyright material.

The files below these subseries are project titles arranged in general chronological order grouped together by year.","The files in Series 4, Project photograph files, are arranged alphabetically.","Charles Morrison Robinson was born on March 3, 1867, in Hamilton, Loudoun County, Virginia. He was the eldest son of architect and builder James T. Robinson and Elizabeth Crockett Robinson. His family relocated to Welland, Ontario, where he completed his early schooling before beginning architectural training under D.S. Hopkins in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and John K. Peebles in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1889, he formed his first partnership—Smith \u0026 Robinson—in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He married Annie Custer in 1891, and their son, Charles Custer Robinson, was born two years later.","Following years of practice in Pennsylvania, including partnerships with George T. Smith, R.B. Crockett, and George Winkler, Robinson returned to Virginia in 1906, establishing Charles M. Robinson, Architect in Richmond. Robinson became a leading designer for a future comprehensive statewide public school system mandated by Virginia's 1902 Constitution.","Between 1906 and 1932, Robinson's practice produced plans for more than 400 public schools and many university buildings, including commissions in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News, Portsmouth, and dozens of rural counties. Robinson's standardized plans were paired with styles ranging from Arts \u0026 Crafts to Collegiate Gothic, Spanish Revival, and Art Deco. His schools featured ample light, logical circulation, and adaptable common spaces.","In 1908 he won the commission to design the campus of the State Normal School at Harrisonburg, now James Madison University, designing its first seven buildings and subsequent expansions through 1928. He designed foundational campuses for the institutions now known as the University of Mary Washington, Radford University, and Virginia State University, and oversaw more than sixty major projects for the College of William \u0026 Mary between 1921 and 1931, including the Sunken Garden and numerous residence halls, academic buildings, and the George Preston Blow Gymnasium.","His practice also extended beyond education. In 1918 he designed the tuberculosis sanitariums (sanatoriums) at Catawba, Burkeville, and Charlottesville for the Virginia State Board of Health. In Richmond, he designed civic and commercial structures, including the Times-Dispatch Building, Stuart Circle Hospital, Grace Hospital, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the Sunday School Building at Ginter Park Methodist Church, and (in partnership with his former apprentice Marcellus Wright, Sr.) the ACCA Shriner Mosque—today the Altria Theater. Residentially, his Laburnum Court development introduced an early twentieth-century model of middle-class housing arranged around a landscaped central park.","By the 1920s, Robinson had expanded his firm to include his son Charles Custer Robinson, Benjamin A. Ruffin, and John Binford Walford, who became partners in Charles M. Robinson, Architects in 1922. Although Robinson retired to his farm in Hampton in 1926, he remained professionally active, producing drawings at home and visiting construction sites. Robinson died on August 20, 1932, at age 66 in a Norfolk hospital, and the firm was formally dissolved the following day.","The practice he founded continued through multiple generations of architects, evolving through successive names—J.

Virginians bought stock in the coporation, including many people in Rockingham County; rights of way were purchased and railbed grading began.  Like similar ventures of the time, the goals of the company never bore fruit, and work halted in 1874.","In 1892, a group of promoters including Jedediah Hotchkiss incorporated to build a railway to carry coal from West Virginia mines to Gloucester Point, Virginia. Initially called the Chesapeake, Shendun, and Western Railroad, the name was quickly changed to Chesapeake \u0026 Western Railroad. Using part of the old WC\u0026StL right-of-way, and with $150,000 from the city of Harrisonburg to ensure that the railroad would pass through it, a 26-mile single-track, standard-gauge line was completed from Elkton to Bridgewater and began operating on March 23, 1896. In the next few years, substantial C\u0026W stock was purchased by New York investor Thomas Stokes, who hoped to develop the coal mines in western Rockingham County but became mired in financial difficulties. His brother, W.E.D Stokes, purchased control of the C\u0026W and also organized a new railroad, the Tidewater and West Virginia, in 1900. The Tidewater changed its name in 1901 to the Chesapeake Western Railway, leased the CW line for 99 years, and in 1902 completed 13 miles of rail from Bridgewater to the new town of Stokesville in North River Gap. Trains carried passengers as well as freight between Elkton and Stokesville. Plans were drawn up to continue the line into West Virginia but were not implemented.","For just over a decade, Stokesville boomed as timber, tanbark, and to a much more limited extent, coal, in the area were exploited. Stokes operated the CW with offices in Harrisonburg until his death in 1926. His estate continued to operate the railway until 1938. In 1928, the line from Mount Solon to North River Gap was abandoned for financial reasons. In 1933, the nine miles from Bridgewater to Mount Solon were also dropped.  When the Stokes' heirs put the CW up for sale in 1938, Don W. Thomas, a former Norfolk \u0026 Western Railroad employee who had been the general manager of the CW since 1926, fought a bid from Japanese scrap metal buyers and bought the line. In 1943, Thomas also bought the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio's Valley Road of Virginia line which rean between Harrisonburg and Lexington. The line south of Staunton was taken up and sold for scrap, but the road between Harrisonburg and Staunton was improved and became an important link in the CW system because of the connection with the Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio Railroad at Staunton. The CW linked with the Norfolk \u0026 Western at Elkton.","In 1954, the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railroad purchased CW, but the name was retained and was operated as a separate corporation. By about 1980, however, little or no rolling stock carried the CW logo any longer. Norfolk \u0026 Western and the Southern Railway Company merged as Norfolk Southern Corporation on June 1, 1982. Not long after that merger, a five-alarm fire burned the CW office located at Chesapeake Drive in Harrisonburg on July 28, 1982, and company offices and operations were eventually absorbed by the NS. Five miles of track east of Bridgewater were removed in 1988. The CW under the control of NS serves as the Harrisonburg area's poultry feed supplier passing through the campus of James Madison University daily.","Records represent the day to day business operation of the Chesapeake Western Railway Company through 1982. After a fire that year, records were left in the CW building on Chesapeake Drive in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and remained in that facility until 1997.","Due to the unwieldy nature of virtually off the bound ledgers, pages were removed from their covers and parceled into folders as both an aid to researchers and as a practical means to consolidate space.  The condition of some boards was also questionable with evidence of mold and pest damage. In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017. This collection was previously cataloged as SC 4010.","The Chesapeake Western Railway Company Records, 1916-1982, consist of 24.36 cubic feet of business records pertaining to the employees, assets, and business transactions of the company.

In 1849, Isaac Hardesty was elected Harrisonburg's first mayor. The City was incorporated as an independent city in 1916. Since its founding in 1779, the City of Harrisonburg has grown from two and a half acres of land to 11,132.16 acres (11.64 square miles). The Harrisonburg Historic Map Collection was created and compiled by the Harrisonburg Department of Planning and Community Development. The department oversees development and planning within the City of Harrisonburg. Among other things, the department maintains a Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinance. The department is divided into three divisions:","Building Inspections\nEngineering\nPlanning and Zoning\n\nThe Building Inspections division oversees code interpretation, permits, and provides assistance to ensure new building projects are planned in compliance with City and building codes.","The Engineering division provides engineering and surveying, public works inspections, and geographic information systems (GIS).","The Planning and Zoning division promotes development according to the City's Comprehensive Plan and government laws by making recommendations to elected and appointed city officials about proposed development based on facts and public forums. This division also supports the department by checking for zoning violations and planning for city zoning or rezoning.","This collection of maps and corresponding paperwork was funded by the City of Harrisonburg. The items in this collection are duplicates of items found in the Department of Community and Development for the City of Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Map 9000 consisted of 22 map folders and one Rolled Storage box. In order to incorporate the 2015 donation into Map 9000, the two separate collections were combined and then condensed down to 18 map folders. The collection number was changed from Map 9000 to SC 0050 to reflect the integration of the collections. The maps, blueprints and paperwork did not arrive at Special Collections in any specific order. For the purpose of organization, the maps have been placed in chronological order based on the year that is listed on the maps. Paperwork is also organized chronologically where dates are found. Some maps and paperwork do not have dates listed and have been categorized as \"Undated.\" These items are placed in alphabetical order by title. Some minimal preservation has been conducted on some of the maps to ensure the content of the maps is maintained. Many of the maps were received rolled up and for the purpose of storage have been flattened with humidification and weight.","Robert James Sullivan Jr. Papers, circa 1930-2013, SC 0003, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA.","The Harrisonburg Historic Map Collection, 1873-1982 (bulk 1903-1956), consists of approximately 615 items.

After graduating from Alexandria High School in 1924, he studied at the University of Virginia's Engineering School before transferring to the architecture program in the McIntire School of Fine Arts in 1926. While never receiving his degree, Grigg was recorded as an alumnus of UVA's Architecture class of 1929.","Following his studies, Grigg apprenticed for Perry, Shaw and Hepburn, of Boston, Massachusetts as a draftsman and designer for the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg until 1933. During his years in Williamsburg, he learned a great about the practices of restoration and Early American architecture.","In 1933 Grigg returned to Charlottesville and started a private practice. He achieved success early on. After he received a bronze medal in the nationwide Better Homes in America competition, he earned a spot on the 1930s Monticello restoration project under Fiske Kimball, and also took on wealthy Northern clients who suffered financially during the Depression and wished to regain lavish lifestyles in the South. These included Marion DuPont, who renovated James Madison's Montpelier, Langhorne Gibson (daughter of Irene Langhorne, \"The Gibson Girl,\"), and Grover C. Dula of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. In 1937, Grigg added University of Virginia alumnus Floyd E. Johnson to his firm and renovated the Albemarle County Courthouse.","In 1936 Grigg identified the home called Edgemont as a work of Thomas Jefferson, which established his legitimacy as a professional with Fiske Kimball. He then altered and restored the building in 1938 and again in 1946.","Grigg moved to Washington, D.C. in 1941 after dissolving his firm's partnership to work as the Chief of the Design Section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There, he worked on national projects like the Potomac River Basin, the National Airport, and the construction of Walter Reed Hospital. During 1942-1945 Grigg served as the civilian head of the Design Section for the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington, chiefly designing military hospitals and other structures. He also served on commissions and boards in the city of Charlottesville; these included the Planning Commission, the Building Code Commission, and the Building Code Appeal Board. He was also a member of the Rotary Club.","After World War II, Grigg moved back to Charlottesville, where he practiced with his new associate William Newton Hale, and also started an additional office in Alexandria. By 1977 their firm came to be known by the name Grigg, Wood, and Browne. The firm specialized in churches, estates, and restoration. Grigg and Hale designed new homes in the Meadowbrook Hills neighborhood, and many public, religious, civic, and commercial buildings. Grigg also restored many churches, as he maintained traditional styles as well as dabbled in modern architecture.","From November 1953 to February 1954 Grigg served as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation's architect, and as a member of the Monticello restoration committee, supervising its restoration. He was also responsible for the design of the U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia, and the notable St. John's Lutheran Church in Emporia, Virginia.","Grigg was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (three-time president of the Virginia chapter) and served as its director for the Middle Atlantic Region. He served twice as president of the Church Architectural Guild of America, 1963-1964, as president of the Interfaith Research Center in New York, and as comptroller of the International Congress on Religious Architecture.","Grigg died on March 23, 1982, aged seventy-six.","Reference list:","Lasala, J.M. \u0026 Lay, K.E.

The names of the projects and clients are followed by the commission number(s) where available. The materials document the projects completed by Grigg and his firm across the State of Virginia, as well as in West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky.","The first series, which is the bulk of this addition, includes approximately 5,000 construction drawings and renderings. These include representations of private residences, public and government buildings, memorials, religious buildings, and historic structures. They reflect Griggs's specialization in church architecture, estates, restoration, and historic preservation. The drawings are organized in alphabetical order by either the name of the project or the last name of the client, generally the case with residential homes. Each project, or commission, can include as few as one to several drawings or as many as several roles of drawings, and housed in multiple boxes.","The second series of administrative/project files is organized alphabetically by project name into 20 subseries, and contains some miscellaneous materials, as well. The materials include correspondence, field notes, specifications, surveys, plans, studies, articles, budgets, reports, meeting minutes, proposals, bills, grant materials, statements and memorandums, contract information, certificates and awards, bidding and negotiation documents, photographic materials, drawings, and promotional materials. They document the work related to: the Alexander Campbell Mansion; Bethany College \u0026 Town of Bethany, WV; Canberra, Australia U.S. Embassy; Fluvanna County Courthouse; Fredericksburg Area Museum and Cultural Center; Gadsby's Tavern; Gunston Hall, Lorton, VA; Harrodsburg Historic Society - Mud Meeting House; Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials; Michie Tavern; Midway Mill; Miller School; Mitchells Presbyterian Church; Museum of American Frontier Culture; Old Stone Presbyterian Church; Old St. John's Church; U.S. Treasury; Virginia Executive Mansion; and other locations.

After graduating from Alexandria High School in 1924, he studied at the University of Virginia's Engineering School before transferring to the architecture program in the McIntire School of Fine Arts in 1926. While never receiving his degree, Grigg was recorded as an alumnus of UVA's Architecture class of 1929.","Following his studies, Grigg apprenticed for Perry, Shaw and Hepburn, of Boston, Massachusetts as a draftsman and designer for the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg until 1933. During his years in Williamsburg, he learned a great about the practices of restoration and Early American architecture.","In 1933 Grigg returned to Charlottesville and started a private practice. He achieved success early on. After he received a bronze medal in the nationwide Better Homes in America competition, he earned a spot on the 1930s Monticello restoration project under Fiske Kimball, and also took on wealthy Northern clients who suffered financially during the Depression and wished to regain lavish lifestyles in the South. These included Marion DuPont, who renovated James Madison's Montpelier, Langhorne Gibson (daughter of Irene Langhorne, \"The Gibson Girl,\"), and Grover C. Dula of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. In 1937, Grigg added University of Virginia alumnus Floyd E. Johnson to his firm and renovated the Albemarle County Courthouse.","In 1936 Grigg identified the home called Edgemont as a work of Thomas Jefferson, which established his legitimacy as a professional with Fiske Kimball. He then altered and restored the building in 1938 and again in 1946.","Grigg moved to Washington, D.C. in 1941 after dissolving his firm's partnership to work as the Chief of the Design Section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There, he worked on national projects like the Potomac River Basin, the National Airport, and the construction of Walter Reed Hospital. During 1942-1945 Grigg served as the civilian head of the Design Section for the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington, chiefly designing military hospitals and other structures. He also served on commissions and boards in the city of Charlottesville; these included the Planning Commission, the Building Code Commission, and the Building Code Appeal Board. He was also a member of the Rotary Club.","After World War II, Grigg moved back to Charlottesville, where he practiced with his new associate William Newton Hale, and also started an additional office in Alexandria. By 1977 their firm came to be known by the name Grigg, Wood, and Browne. The firm specialized in churches, estates, and restoration. Grigg and Hale designed new homes in the Meadowbrook Hills neighborhood, and many public, religious, civic, and commercial buildings. Grigg also restored many churches, as he maintained traditional styles as well as dabbled in modern architecture.","From November 1953 to February 1954 Grigg served as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation's architect, and as a member of the Monticello restoration committee, supervising its restoration. He was also responsible for the design of the U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia, and the notable St. John's Lutheran Church in Emporia, Virginia.","Grigg was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (three-time president of the Virginia chapter) and served as its director for the Middle Atlantic Region. He served twice as president of the Church Architectural Guild of America, 1963-1964, as president of the Interfaith Research Center in New York, and as comptroller of the International Congress on Religious Architecture.","Grigg died on March 23, 1982, aged seventy-six.","Reference list:","Lasala, J.M. \u0026 Lay, K.E.
