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). The firm remained active for more than a century before being acquired in 2020.","Reference List:","Arlington County Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board. (2008, September).

Robinson and Principals Architectural Records consist of materials about Charles M. Robinson, and the office records, architectural and design plans, and project photograph files of the Charles M.

The materials document the business operations of the firms, as well as their role in developing the city of Richmond, VA, and in developing various institutions and organizations across the state of Virginia. The works in this collection also demonstrate the significance of the firm's activities on communities in these areas. It is divided into four series.","Series 1, Charles M. 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. 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). The firm remained active for more than a century before being acquired in 2020.","Reference List:","Arlington County Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board. (2008, September).

Robinson and Principals Architectural Records consist of materials about Charles M. Robinson, and the office records, architectural and design plans, and project photograph files of the Charles M. Robinson, Architect firm and successor firms. The materials document the business operations of the firms, as well as their role in developing the city of Richmond, VA, and in developing various institutions and organizations across the state of Virginia. The works in this collection also demonstrate the significance of the firm's activities on communities in these areas. It is divided into four series.","Series 1, Charles M. 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.

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.

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.

See Related Materials note for information about other finding aids and guides to the collection.","Some materials have been removed from their original boxes or folders and rehoused due to preservation and conservation issues.","The records/guides for this collection's original acquisition and other previous additions can be found in VIRGO, the Library's online catalog, as well as (in many cases) on the Archival Repositories of the Virginias (ARVAS) website.","For best results, search using the collection's Identifier/Call Number.","These additions to MSS 6478 Milton L. Grigg Papers, organized into two main series, contain architectural drawings, administrative and project files, and miscellaneous materials created by Milton Grigg and his architectural firm from the 1920s to the 1990s. 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.
