They form part of the Greater Newport Rural Historic District, which is located in the Eastern District of Giles County.  Listed in the National Registrar of Historic Places in 2000, the Greater Newport Rural Historic District includes five distinct sections: Sinking Creek, Spruce Run, Clover Hollow, Plowscrew, and Mountain Lake.  The historic district is agricultural and rural in character, consisting mostly of nineteenth and early-twentieth century farmsteads.  Overall, the district includes approximately 21,085 acres.       ","Closely associated with the effort to designate this area as a rural historic district was the struggle by community members against AEP's proposed powerline.  In March 1990, the contestation over proposed powerline routes was initiated when the energy company Apco -- which would change its name to AEP during the course of the powerline battle -- announced its plans to build a transmission line from West Virginia to Cloverdale.  The estimated date for its completion was 1998.  Following this announcement, opposition arose from communities along the proposed route.  In Giles County, Virginia, concerned community members joined together to create the organization Citizens Organized to Protect the Environment (COPE), which fought against the proposed powerline. \n     \nFor more detailed information on the powerline struggle and establishment of the Greater Newport Rural Historical District see the following:","Carlisle, Fred.  \"Insiders, Outsiders, and the Struggle for Community,\" Appalachian Journal, Vol. 26, No. 3 (Spring 1999), 240-251.

The collection dates from 1973 to 2009, although it does include a typed copy of a 1904 Giles county will.  The materials in this collection not only reveal information on the history and people of Giles county, but they also document the community's efforts to get Newport designated as a rural agricultural historic district.  Most of the newspaper clippings concern the threat of AEP building a new powerline that would have cut across the Newport area.

Webb's professional business files remain separated from her pictures, oversized architectural drawings, and artwork. The Professional Papers and Files are divided into the following subseries: Career Overview, Educational/Scholastic Papers, Professional Organizations and Boards, Community Involvement, Press Coverage, Business Ventures/Development Projects, Internal Business Documents, Proposals, and Projects. Within the aforementioned categories, files appear alphabetically with the exeption of the \"miscellaneous\" or introductory folders that sometimes appear at the beginning of a subseries. Photographs, artwork, and oversized drawings maintain their own series—items within these sections echo the subseries outlined in Webb's Professional/Papers and Files when applicable. ","Note: Bracketed dates within the contents list indicate that the dated material was not created by Pamela Webb. ","Born in 1943 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Pamela Webb was an artist, architect, businesswoman, curator, and member of the Portland, Oregon community. Webb earned a degree from Harvard University in Anthropology in 1966; but, later studied architecture and graduated from the Oregon School of Design's first class in 1985.","Some of Webb's significant architectural projects in Oregon include: the Warms Springs Early Childhood learning Center, the Eastbank Esplanade, and the Austen Row multifamily housing project—for which Webb won the 1991 Metropolitan Homebuilders' Best Attached Home designation. ","Webb also embarked on several architecturally inspired business endeavors, such as SiteStudy.com (a field study course for architects) and \"Webb Grid\" (a Mylar grid for pinbar overlay system, for which Webb sought a patent).","In addition to her architectural projects, Webb also served as a board member of the American Institute of Architects Oregon Chapter and as the director of the Harvard University Club of Oregon from 1986 to 1989.","Before becoming an architect, Webb co-founded a successful artists' cooperative called the Blackfish Gallery and worked as a high school art teacher from 1972 to 1976. She also acted as a licensed general contractor in Portland from 1977 to 1985. Webb eventually continued her interest in art through designing jewelry and fused-glass windows and plates. ","Pamela Webb died in October 2008 at the age of 65. ","The guide to the Pamela Webb Architectural Collection 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 Pamela Webb Architectural Collection commenced in May, 2009 and was completed in May, 2010.","Additional photographs of Forest Heights construction and houses may be found in the Pamela Webb collection, Org. Lot 1219, Oregon Historical Society Research Library. (See: http://librarycatalog.ohs.org/eosweb/opac/)","The Pamela Webb Architectural Collection contains the professional files, architectural drawings, artwork, and photographs of an architect working primarily in Portland, Oregon. Materials date largely from the latter quarter of the twentieth century, but extend into the early twenty-first century. Professional files include information about Webb's career (resumes, portfolios, etc), money-making endeavors, correspondence, press coverage, community involvement, proposal bids, and architectural projects. ","Architectural renderings within the collection appear in different mediums—in diazo prints, on thin wax paper, and on white copy paper. These renderings document Webb's architectural projects (including her student work).","Significant projects include: Eastbank Esplanade, Forest Heights residential community, Austen Row attached homes, Warm Springs Early Childhood Learning Center, and Marian Abram's Children's Wing in Mittleman Jewish Community Center. The collection's photographs illustrate the construction and finished products of many of Webb's project designs. ","Webb's provided artwork depicts a variety of subjects—from human forms to abstract designs to building ideas. In addition to drawings on paper, some of Webb's artwork is etched in metal or Plexiglas. Multiple sketchbooks also appear within the collection.
