He specialized in the sale of large private estates\n         in Tidewater and eastern Virginia; although, he also did\n         business in other Virginia locales and out-of-state. He was\n         married to Estelle LeGrand Lorraine (1896-1978), and the pair\n         had two children, John Knowles Lorraine and Margaret Lorraine\n         Bleser. He died in Tappahannock Hospital in Essex and was\n         interred in St. Stephens Episcopal Church Cemetery in\n         Heathsville.","The records, ca. 1925-1976, of George Bernard Lorraine,\n         real estate broker and agent in the City of Richmond and\n         Northumberland County, Virginia, consist of advertising, real\n         estate agreements, blueprints, checks, clippings,\n         correspondence (letters), house keys, maps, notes, obituaries,\n         pamphlets, periodicals, photographs, plats, postcards,\n         receipts, and surveys. They generally relate to Lorraine's\n         real estate business, an enterprise encompassing a broad array\n         of purchases and sales for land, businesses, houses, farms,\n         and private estates both in Virginia and out-of-state. A\n         significant number of these properties date their construction\n         to the 19th, 18th and even 17th centuries. Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B. Lorraine brokered, purchased,\n               advertised, or sold. The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files. The\n               file arrangement for Series I remains consistent with\n               the order established by the brokerage.","Material within this series highlights the buying and\n               selling process undertaken by Lorraine and his real\n               estate brokerage for each property. The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location. Also of mention are handwritten notes\n               detailing various business activities including phone\n               conversations, contract negotiations, and advertising\n               drafts. Deeds also appear for a small number of\n               properties in this series.","Arranged into Virginia real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series A), out-of-state real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series B), and miscellaneous and unidentified real\n               estate maps and plats (Sub-series C). Sub-series A and\n               Sub-series B principally contain larger items that were\n               removed from Series I, Sub-series A and Sub-series B.\n               Oversized items with corresponding files in Series I\n               have been noted within each folder and catalogued in\n               this aid under identical headings.

While\n               maps and plats comprise the bulk of these sub-series,\n               other oversize material may be included in each folder.\n               This smaller amount of material includes advertisements,\n               deeds, floor plans, and aerial photographs.","Sub-series C is unidentified real estate maps and\n               plats and miscellaneous oversize material consisting of\n               United States Army Corps of Engineers geological survey\n               maps, Virginia highway maps, tourist road maps, a\n               genealogical chart for the Fitzhugh-Grymes family of\n               King George County, Virginia, a Stan Fenelle drawing of\n               Secretariat, and a Louisa County Soil Survey.

He specialized in the sale of large private estates\n         in Tidewater and eastern Virginia; although, he also did\n         business in other Virginia locales and out-of-state. He was\n         married to Estelle LeGrand Lorraine (1896-1978), and the pair\n         had two children, John Knowles Lorraine and Margaret Lorraine\n         Bleser.

A\n         significant number of these properties date their construction\n         to the 19th, 18th and even 17th centuries. Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B.

The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files. The\n               file arrangement for Series I remains consistent with\n               the order established by the brokerage.","Material within this series highlights the buying and\n               selling process undertaken by Lorraine and his real\n               estate brokerage for each property. The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location.

Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B.

The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files.

The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location.

The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner.

He specialized in the sale of large private estates\n         in Tidewater and eastern Virginia; although, he also did\n         business in other Virginia locales and out-of-state. He was\n         married to Estelle LeGrand Lorraine (1896-1978), and the pair\n         had two children, John Knowles Lorraine and Margaret Lorraine\n         Bleser. He died in Tappahannock Hospital in Essex and was\n         interred in St. Stephens Episcopal Church Cemetery in\n         Heathsville.","The records, ca. 1925-1976, of George Bernard Lorraine,\n         real estate broker and agent in the City of Richmond and\n         Northumberland County, Virginia, consist of advertising, real\n         estate agreements, blueprints, checks, clippings,\n         correspondence (letters), house keys, maps, notes, obituaries,\n         pamphlets, periodicals, photographs, plats, postcards,\n         receipts, and surveys. They generally relate to Lorraine's\n         real estate business, an enterprise encompassing a broad array\n         of purchases and sales for land, businesses, houses, farms,\n         and private estates both in Virginia and out-of-state. A\n         significant number of these properties date their construction\n         to the 19th, 18th and even 17th centuries. Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B. Lorraine brokered, purchased,\n               advertised, or sold. The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files. The\n               file arrangement for Series I remains consistent with\n               the order established by the brokerage.","Material within this series highlights the buying and\n               selling process undertaken by Lorraine and his real\n               estate brokerage for each property. The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location. Also of mention are handwritten notes\n               detailing various business activities including phone\n               conversations, contract negotiations, and advertising\n               drafts. Deeds also appear for a small number of\n               properties in this series.","Arranged into Virginia real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series A), out-of-state real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series B), and miscellaneous and unidentified real\n               estate maps and plats (Sub-series C).

He specialized in the sale of large private estates\n         in Tidewater and eastern Virginia; although, he also did\n         business in other Virginia locales and out-of-state. He was\n         married to Estelle LeGrand Lorraine (1896-1978), and the pair\n         had two children, John Knowles Lorraine and Margaret Lorraine\n         Bleser. He died in Tappahannock Hospital in Essex and was\n         interred in St. Stephens Episcopal Church Cemetery in\n         Heathsville.","The records, ca. 1925-1976, of George Bernard Lorraine,\n         real estate broker and agent in the City of Richmond and\n         Northumberland County, Virginia, consist of advertising, real\n         estate agreements, blueprints, checks, clippings,\n         correspondence (letters), house keys, maps, notes, obituaries,\n         pamphlets, periodicals, photographs, plats, postcards,\n         receipts, and surveys. They generally relate to Lorraine's\n         real estate business, an enterprise encompassing a broad array\n         of purchases and sales for land, businesses, houses, farms,\n         and private estates both in Virginia and out-of-state. A\n         significant number of these properties date their construction\n         to the 19th, 18th and even 17th centuries. Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B. Lorraine brokered, purchased,\n               advertised, or sold. The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files. The\n               file arrangement for Series I remains consistent with\n               the order established by the brokerage.","Material within this series highlights the buying and\n               selling process undertaken by Lorraine and his real\n               estate brokerage for each property. The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location. Also of mention are handwritten notes\n               detailing various business activities including phone\n               conversations, contract negotiations, and advertising\n               drafts. Deeds also appear for a small number of\n               properties in this series.","Arranged into Virginia real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series A), out-of-state real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series B), and miscellaneous and unidentified real\n               estate maps and plats (Sub-series C). Sub-series A and\n               Sub-series B principally contain larger items that were\n               removed from Series I, Sub-series A and Sub-series B.\n               Oversized items with corresponding files in Series I\n               have been noted within each folder and catalogued in\n               this aid under identical headings.

He specialized in the sale of large private estates\n         in Tidewater and eastern Virginia; although, he also did\n         business in other Virginia locales and out-of-state. He was\n         married to Estelle LeGrand Lorraine (1896-1978), and the pair\n         had two children, John Knowles Lorraine and Margaret Lorraine\n         Bleser. He died in Tappahannock Hospital in Essex and was\n         interred in St. Stephens Episcopal Church Cemetery in\n         Heathsville.","The records, ca. 1925-1976, of George Bernard Lorraine,\n         real estate broker and agent in the City of Richmond and\n         Northumberland County, Virginia, consist of advertising, real\n         estate agreements, blueprints, checks, clippings,\n         correspondence (letters), house keys, maps, notes, obituaries,\n         pamphlets, periodicals, photographs, plats, postcards,\n         receipts, and surveys. They generally relate to Lorraine's\n         real estate business, an enterprise encompassing a broad array\n         of purchases and sales for land, businesses, houses, farms,\n         and private estates both in Virginia and out-of-state. A\n         significant number of these properties date their construction\n         to the 19th, 18th and even 17th centuries. Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B. Lorraine brokered, purchased,\n               advertised, or sold. The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files. The\n               file arrangement for Series I remains consistent with\n               the order established by the brokerage.","Material within this series highlights the buying and\n               selling process undertaken by Lorraine and his real\n               estate brokerage for each property. The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location. Also of mention are handwritten notes\n               detailing various business activities including phone\n               conversations, contract negotiations, and advertising\n               drafts. Deeds also appear for a small number of\n               properties in this series.","Arranged into Virginia real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series A), out-of-state real estate maps and plats\n               (Sub-series B), and miscellaneous and unidentified real\n               estate maps and plats (Sub-series C).

They generally relate to Lorraine's\n         real estate business, an enterprise encompassing a broad array\n         of purchases and sales for land, businesses, houses, farms,\n         and private estates both in Virginia and out-of-state. A\n         significant number of these properties date their construction\n         to the 19th, 18th and even 17th centuries. Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B.

The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files.

An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection.

The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location.

They generally relate to Lorraine's\n         real estate business, an enterprise encompassing a broad array\n         of purchases and sales for land, businesses, houses, farms,\n         and private estates both in Virginia and out-of-state. A\n         significant number of these properties date their construction\n         to the 19th, 18th and even 17th centuries. Notable properties\n         Lorraine brokered include: Christ's Cross (Criss Cross),\n         Dewberry, Edgewood, Keswick, Kingsmill Plantation, Locksley\n         Hall, Mitchie Tavern, Powhite, Scotchtown, Wilton, and many\n         Virginia Landmarks Register, National Register of Historic\n         Properties, Historic American Building Survey, and Historic\n         Virginia Building Survey properties.","Arranged into Virginia and out-of-state sub-series,\n               this series contains advertising, clippings,\n               correspondence, deeds, maps, notes, obituaries,\n               photographs, plats, postcards, property descriptions,\n               surveys, and real estate agreements pertaining to\n               properties George B. Lorraine brokered, purchased,\n               advertised, or sold. The Virginia sub-series consists of\n               real estate listings arranged alphabetically by county\n               or township. The out-of-state sub-series is arranged\n               alphabetically by state. Within both the Virginia and\n               out-of-state sub-series, properties are arranged\n               alphabetically first according to name. Properties\n               without names follow second and are arranged\n               alphabetically by property owner's surname. For most\n               counties and states, there also exists miscellaneous\n               letter and miscellaneous real estate listings files. The\n               file arrangement for Series I remains consistent with\n               the order established by the brokerage.","Material within this series highlights the buying and\n               selling process undertaken by Lorraine and his real\n               estate brokerage for each property. The correspondence\n               principally consists of letters exchanged between\n               Lorraine's brokerage and other brokers and realtors,\n               prospective buyers, estate administrators, property\n               owners, real estate attorneys, and government officials.\n               Real estate agreements between Lorraine's brokerage,\n               owners, and buyers detail well-defined property\n               descriptions and often accompany the correspondence, as\n               does a profuse amount of property descriptions written\n               for purposes of promotion and distribution to\n               prospective buyers and advertisers. An extensive array\n               of photographs includes exterior, interior, and aerial\n               views of a respective plat's buildings and the adjoining\n               landscape. Copies of these photographs often were\n               distributed to prospective buyers and also occasionally\n               reappear in advertisements written by Lorraine for\n               distribution to prospective buyers, magazines and\n               newspapers. The large bulk of advertisements does not\n               contain images and exists in the form of newspaper\n               clippings from the classifieds. For some of the more\n               famed and recognized properties, clippings held in these\n               files help to establish the history of an estate or a\n               past owner of an estate. There are also obituaries that\n               often denote the death of an estate owner. Smaller maps\n               and plats also are included in these files, while larger\n               maps and plats have been removed and placed in the\n               oversize collection. These maps and plats often denote\n               acreage, architectural measurements, boundaries and\n               bordering property owners, crop and building placement,\n               natural resources, survey information, and geographical\n               location. Also of mention are handwritten notes\n               detailing various business activities including phone\n               conversations, contract negotiations, and advertising\n               drafts.
