Educated in California, Chadeayne began studying architecture at the University of California (currently UCLA) in 1922 later completing her coursework at Berkeley when the UCLA architecture program was shut down.  Chadeayne graduated with a B.A. in Architecture from Berkeley on May 12, 1926 and went on to complete her graduate work there in 1927.","Los Angeles based architecture firm, Pierpont \u0026 Walter Davis hired Chadeayne shortly after graduation in 1927.  During the time Chadeayne spent at the firm she worked on a number of small residential projects improving her drafting abilities.  In 1935 Chadeayne met and became close associate to architect Lilian J. Rice (1888-1938).  For three years Chadeayne collaborated with Rice, designing two schools, small offices and other assorted buildings.  Their association was cut short when Lilian Rice passed away suddenly in 1938, Chadeayne went on to complete a number of Rice's unfinished work projects.","In 1940 Chadeayne began taking on private contract work for the first time and accepted a teaching position at Cornell University.  There, she taught house planning in the College of Home Economics.  By July 1942 however, Chadeayne returned to California taking work as a production illustrator for the Lockheed engineering department in war service.  While working for Lockheed Chadeayne also handled side projects for various firms in the Los Angeles area concentrating primarily on residential and educational facilities.  In 1945 Chadeayne left Lockheed.","By 1951 Chadeayne was hired at Daniel, Mann, Johnson \u0026 Mendenhall (DMJM).  Her job at the company required extensive travel to educational facilities in various stages of building development.  As a result of her travels, Chadeayne became a highly skilled specifications writer for DMJM.  Her ability to write technically became her greatest professional asset.","\"I tried to write specifications so that the ordinary workmen could understand them.  I found that the specifications were the standard by which the building was built and that some of the workmen couldn't understand…So I tried to write them in a way that anybody could…\"","From 1958 to 1965 Chadeayne worked at Los Angeles based firm, A.Q. Jones \u0026 Frederick Emmons.  She worked on a number of projects including a U.S. Air Force hospital, Naval housing and most significantly, the U.S. Consulate in Singapore.  By 1966 one of Chadeayne's most prominent architectural endeavors began when she was hired to write specifications at the Bank of America Headquarters in San Francisco, California.","By 1970 Chadeayne retired formally but continued working part time until 1973 as a consultant for renowned architecture firm, Skidmore Owings \u0026 Merrill (SOM).  There she wrote furnishing specifications for a bank project in Buffalo, NY.","Throughout her career and in retirement Chadeayne held membership with the AWA (Association of Women Architects) and the Los Angeles chapter of the AIA (American Institute of Architects).  Chadeayne took an active in role in AIA serving as chairwoman for the membership committee and later on the Codes Committee ensuring utilization of California building regulations statewide.","In her free time Chadeayne enjoyed cooking and gardening.  She spent significant time traveling with friends and family visiting such places as Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan.

Educated in California, Chadeayne began studying architecture at the University of California (currently UCLA) in 1922 later completing her coursework at Berkeley when the UCLA architecture program was shut down.  Chadeayne graduated with a B.A. in Architecture from Berkeley on May 12, 1926 and went on to complete her graduate work there in 1927.","Los Angeles based architecture firm, Pierpont \u0026 Walter Davis hired Chadeayne shortly after graduation in 1927.  During the time Chadeayne spent at the firm she worked on a number of small residential projects improving her drafting abilities.  In 1935 Chadeayne met and became close associate to architect Lilian J. Rice (1888-1938).  For three years Chadeayne collaborated with Rice, designing two schools, small offices and other assorted buildings.  Their association was cut short when Lilian Rice passed away suddenly in 1938, Chadeayne went on to complete a number of Rice's unfinished work projects.","In 1940 Chadeayne began taking on private contract work for the first time and accepted a teaching position at Cornell University.  There, she taught house planning in the College of Home Economics.  By July 1942 however, Chadeayne returned to California taking work as a production illustrator for the Lockheed engineering department in war service.  While working for Lockheed Chadeayne also handled side projects for various firms in the Los Angeles area concentrating primarily on residential and educational facilities.  In 1945 Chadeayne left Lockheed.","By 1951 Chadeayne was hired at Daniel, Mann, Johnson \u0026 Mendenhall (DMJM).  Her job at the company required extensive travel to educational facilities in various stages of building development.  As a result of her travels, Chadeayne became a highly skilled specifications writer for DMJM.  Her ability to write technically became her greatest professional asset.","\"I tried to write specifications so that the ordinary workmen could understand them.  I found that the specifications were the standard by which the building was built and that some of the workmen couldn't understand…So I tried to write them in a way that anybody could…\"","From 1958 to 1965 Chadeayne worked at Los Angeles based firm, A.Q. Jones \u0026 Frederick Emmons.  She worked on a number of projects including a U.S. Air Force hospital, Naval housing and most significantly, the U.S. Consulate in Singapore.  By 1966 one of Chadeayne's most prominent architectural endeavors began when she was hired to write specifications at the Bank of America Headquarters in San Francisco, California.","By 1970 Chadeayne retired formally but continued working part time until 1973 as a consultant for renowned architecture firm, Skidmore Owings \u0026 Merrill (SOM).  There she wrote furnishing specifications for a bank project in Buffalo, NY.","Throughout her career and in retirement Chadeayne held membership with the AWA (Association of Women Architects) and the Los Angeles chapter of the AIA (American Institute of Architects).  Chadeayne took an active in role in AIA serving as chairwoman for the membership committee and later on the Codes Committee ensuring utilization of California building regulations statewide.","In her free time Chadeayne enjoyed cooking and gardening.  She spent significant time traveling with friends and family visiting such places as Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan.  She died on February 23, 2001 at the age of 97 in Tracy, California.","Works Consulted","Chadeayne, O., Horton, I.

She attended the University of California at Berkley for architecture and in 1910 became one of the first females to graduate from the program.  Rice's greatest professional achievement came from her work as resident architect in the design of the upscale southern California community, Rancho Santa Fe.","Recognized for her work with Spanish colonial architecture, Rice advocated utilizing natural and local materials to blend surrounding landscapes into her designs.  This practice was particularly evident in her work on the Rancho Santa Fe community.","\"Every environment here calls for simplicity and beauty: the gorgeous natural landscapes, the gently broken topography, the nearby mountains. No one with a sense of fitness, it seems to me, could violate these natural factors by creating anything that lacked simplicity in line and form and color.\"","In addition to her work on the Rancho Santa Fe community, Rice designed San Dieguito Union High School in Encitas, California later serving as an original trustee for the Rancho Santa Fe school district.","Lilian Rice died suddenly on Dec. 22, 1938 at the age of 49.","Sources:","Cox, Lilian.

Photographs and Illustrations, 1920-1979, were primarily collected for use in Johnson's and Givens' various books, though not all of the images were published. The photographs are from a number of sources, including local newspapers and personal collections. The series is of probably greatest interest for images of the Christiansburg High School, Montgomery County Courthouse, Virginia Tech classes and campus of the 1920s, and a 1954 Palace Theatre (Christiansburg) program calendar.","Patricia Miller Givens, teacher and local historian, was born in Newport, Virginia, on March 9, 1932. Known familiarly as \"Patsy,\" Givens was the daughter of Hugh Peck and Lula Porterfield Givens. She graduated from Christiansburg High School in 1949, later obtaining her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin (1956) and master's from the College of William and Mary (1963). In December 1953, she married Walter L. Johnson; the couple would have one son, Walter Peck Johnson. Patricia Johnson taught history and social studies in various schools as the family moved frequently--to Texas, Japan, England, Atlanta and Washington, D.C.--due to the demands of her husband's air force career. Around 1980, the Johnsons returned to the New River Valley area, where they bought and restored the former James Bain Price home in Prices Fork.","Like her mother, Johnson maintained a lifetime interest in the history of Southwest Virginia; she eventually published 15 books and numerous articles related to the subject and became one of the foremost authorities on local history. Johnson's interests were reflected by her memberships in the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was also an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.","Johnson died on September 3, 1996; she is buried in the Price Cemetery, Prices Fork, Virginia.","Lula Porterfield, teacher, local historian, and mother of Patricia Givens Johnson, was born in Giles County, Virginia on September 18, 1906. The youngest child of Jehu and Josephine Williams Porterfield, she began teaching in Giles County in 1925. Porterfield married Hugh Peck Givens in Roanoke on December 20, 1930. The couple had two children (Patricia M. and Hugh P. Jr.) and separated in 1939. In the meantime, Lula Givens had moved to Christiansburg and begun a 35-year teaching career in the Montgomery County school system. After her retirement in 1972, Givens was able to devote time to an interest in local history; her research resulted in two books: Highlights in the Early History of Montgomery County, Virginia(1975) and Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia: in the Heart of the Alleghenies(1981).","Lula P. Givens died in Christiansburg, Virginia on February 23, 1987.","The guide to the Patricia Givens Johnson Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Patricia Givens Johnson Papers commenced and was completed in June 2003.","The papers of Patricia Givens Johnson, New River Valley local historian, consist primarily of materials which arose from her research for--and publication of--books on local pioneers Andrew Lewis, Jacob Miller, James Patton, William Preston, and the early settlement of the New River Valley. The papers contain such materials as correspondence, subject files, printed materials and photographs used by Johnson during her research. Interspersed throughout the collection are a few materials which had belonged to Johnson's mother and fellow local historian, Lula Porterfield Givens, including subject files on Christiansburg and Montgomery County, Virginia, a scrapbook, and photographs.","Thirty-five books were transferred from the collection to the Rare Book Collection.

He was the first alumnus-President, having graduated with honors in civil engineering from VPI in 1898. A hallmark of his long tenure in the presidency was a major administrative reorganization, which included: abolishing four deanships; broadening the scope and authority of the Deans of Agriculture and Engineering; establishing post of Dean of the College; abolishing College surgeon office and hiring full-time health officer; establishing office of business manager; placing directors of Agriculture Experiment Station and Extension Services under Dean of Agriculture; abolishing Registrar office; and placing athletic activities directly under control of college authorities.","Other highlights of Burruss' administration included: establishment of Engineering Experiment Station, 1921, and Engineering Extension Division, 1923; admittance of women to all departments, except military, 1921; founding of Future Farmers of Virginia, which became Future Farmers of America; first Ph.D. awarded; Radford State Teachers College merged with VPI and became Radford College, the Women's Division of VPI.","When mounting pressures and advancing age began to take a toll on Burruss, the Board of Visitors granted him a six-month leave of absence on 4 January 1945, and named John Hutcheson, Director of the Agriculture Extension Service, as Executive Assistant to the President. On 10 January 1945, Burruss suffered a fractured vertebrae in an automobile accident, so on 12 January, the Rector of the Board requested that Hutcheson assume the duties of the presidency immediately. At the Board meeting on 15 May, Burruss was elected \"President Emeritus\" and the search for a new president began. Burruss died two years later.","The guide to the Records of the Office of the President, Julian A.

In the 1920s, in order to generate more interest in the Woman's Club a committee was formed known as the Garden Committee. The committee first met in February of 1928, and in March of 1930 the committee voted to withdraw from the Woman's Club and form its own independent organization. From the very beginning the Garden Club was concerned with community involvement and civic interests including the beautification of Blacksburg. In the late 1930s, the Garden Club's membership had grown beyond the capacity that could be accommodated by meetings in women's homes, in order to solve this problem, the club voted to split into three groups, the Arboretum Garden Club, Southside Garden Club, and Town and Country Garden Club.","The Southside Garden Club, so named because many members lived on the south side of town, was federated in 1941. The Southside Garden Club continued the tradition of community involvement. In 1952, the club voted in favor of having women on the town council and in 1963, succeeded in making Blacksburg a bird sanctuary. It has furnished flowers and plants for various public buildings such as school grounds, Historic Smithfield, and the public library. Members of the Southside Garden Club have also participated in many contests and won awards in categories such as Garden Therapy and Horticulture. The primary mission of the Garden Club has always been the beautification of the town and county, and that mission continues even into the present day.","The guide to the Southside Garden Club Records by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The original donation of materials was processed, arranged, and described in 2008.

In the 1920s, in order to generate more interest in the Woman's Club a committee was formed known as the Garden Committee. The committee first met in February of 1928, and in March of 1930 the committee voted to withdraw from the Woman's Club and form its own independent organization. From the very beginning the Garden Club was concerned with community involvement and civic interests including the beautification of Blacksburg. In the late 1930s, the Garden Club's membership had grown beyond the capacity that could be accommodated by meetings in women's homes, in order to solve this problem, the club voted to split into three groups, the Arboretum Garden Club, Southside Garden Club, and Town and Country Garden Club.","The Southside Garden Club, so named because many members lived on the south side of town, was federated in 1941. The Southside Garden Club continued the tradition of community involvement. In 1952, the club voted in favor of having women on the town council and in 1963, succeeded in making Blacksburg a bird sanctuary. It has furnished flowers and plants for various public buildings such as school grounds, Historic Smithfield, and the public library. Members of the Southside Garden Club have also participated in many contests and won awards in categories such as Garden Therapy and Horticulture. The primary mission of the Garden Club has always been the beautification of the town and county, and that mission continues even into the present day.","The guide to the Southside Garden Club Records by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The original donation of materials was processed, arranged, and described in 2008.
