Their law firm represented some of the most important industries in Southwest Virginia, including the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, Appalachian Power Company, and several coal and lumber interests. ","M. P. Farrier was a clerk for Giles County, Virginia as early as 1894. He qualified to practice law on February 1, 1904, and then formed a partnership with Judge Martin Williams (1858-1934), which lasted until January 1, 1920. Farrier represented Giles and Bland counties in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1922 through 1923. In March 1923, he became Commissioner of Accounts for Giles County. The Williams and Farrier law firm reformed from January 1, 1924 thru July 1, 1934, when Farrier was appointed Trial Justice of Giles County. During this time period, M. P. Farrier also served as Treasurer of Bland County Lumber Company and Vice-President and member of the Board of Directors of Buchanan Coal Land Corp. ","A. L. Farrier served during World War I. He studied law under his father and qualified to practice in December 1938. A. L. and M. P. Farrier joined in a legal partnership on January 1, 1939. The partnership lasted until M. P. Farrier's death in 1946, and A. L. continued to practice law until his death in 1972.","Both men are buried in Birchlawn Burial Park in Pearisburg, Virginia.","The guide to the Farrier Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The collection is in its original order from the time of donation.

Some descriptive information was added in 2013 and 2014. In 2017-2018, efforts were made to clean up the inventory, which had previously identified the materials as \"Box #\" with a date. Boxes were given titles based on the general contents included and the existing dates. In 2021, additional description was completed, including expanded Biographical Note, added Separated Materials note, updated and new inventory scope notes and box titles, and series imposed based upon 1974 descriptions.","The collection includes files from the firm of Williams and Farrier, later Farrier and Farrier.

Hannah. Her parents were Reverend William Robert Atkinson and Lucy Hannah Atkinson. Her father, a graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary in South Carolina and of the University of Virginia, was both a teacher and a Presbyterian minister. He was a professor at the Peace Institute (now William Peace University) from 1875 to 1878, was principal at the Charlotte Female Institute (now Queens University of Charlotte) from 1878 to 1890, and in 1890, he founded the Presbyterian College for Women in Columbia, S.C. Anne Atkinson studied music at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland and was an accomplished pianist. It was at the Peabody Conservatory that she met the German composer, and former student of Franz Liszt, Richard Burmeister. In 1899, Atkinson and Burmeister were married and subsequently moved to Dresden, Germany where both she and her husband performed extensively. In 1911, Anne Atkinson Burmeister returned to the United States with her daughter, Wilhelmina and in 1912 she performed a recital at the White House for President Taft. After divorcing Richard Burmeister, Anne remarried in 1915, to Robert Scott Chamberlayne, who owned and operated a tobacco business in Phenix, Virginia. Anne Atkinson Chamberlayne was a charter member of the Charlotte County Equal Suffrage League and served on their publications committee. In 1921, she ran for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, one of the first women in the state to run for statewide office.

Stationed in Kansas, South Dakota, Texas, and Vera Cruz, Mexico. 1918 April-1919 October Signal Corps Officer, American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), France. Officer in charge of purchasing and disbursing. 1919-1921 Commanding Officer, Signal Corps School, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. 1921-1941 December Served in Washington D.C., the Philippines, and China. During this period, Gerow graduated from the Advanced Course, Infantry School, Fort Benning (1925), the Command and General Staff School (1926), and the Army War College (1931). 1941 December-1942 February Named Chief of War Plans Division and Assistant Chief of Staff. 1942 February Named Commander of the 29th Infantry Division, Fort George Meade, Maryland. 1942 October 29 Division to England. 1943 July Named Commanding General, Fifth (V) Corps. 1945 January 15 Assumed command of the Fifteenth Army, European Theater. 1945 October Returned to the United States and was assigned as Commandant of the Command and General Staff School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. 1948 January Assumed command of the Second Army, with headquarters at Fort George Meade, Maryland. 1950 July 31 Retired as a Lieutenant General. 1954 July Appointed as a four-star General by an act of Congress. 1972 October 12 Died at age 84 in Fort Lee Army Hospital, Petersburg, Virginia.","July 28, 1941 \nColonel D. D. Eisenhower, \nChief of Staff, III Army, \nSmith-Young Tower, \nSan Antonio, Texas ","Dear Ike:  \nI have been so darn busy that I have not told you how delighted I am over your new assignment. I am not in on the \"makes\" but I feel sure your name will be on the next list of B.G.'s. You have certainly earned such recognition.","Washington is a madhouse as usual. First the Russo situation made us do some fast thinking and long-range estimating. I do not think that the Germans are moving as fast as they expected to, but in my opinion they will lick the Russians before winter sets in. Wish it could be otherwise. ","Would liked to have kept the Japs quiescent for a few months longer but they had \"ants in their pants\" and just had to move somewhere. Indo-China looked like a cripple so they walked in. I rather doubt that they will move south and feel that they will sit tight in the north until Germany trims Russia. \nEven our brothers in South America seem to be bitten by the war bug. Ecuador and Peru caused us a little extra work over the week end. Of course, the Axis powers are back of most of these disturbances. ","My health is fine and I hope to keep it so. Exercise is limited to occasional golf on Sunday. I would like to have more time outdoors. We limit our social activities to official affairs. I am too old to work all day and then play all night.","Mary Louise joins me in love to Mamie and yourself. I would love to see you both. \nDevotedly,","Fort George Meade, Maryland \n1942 April 19","Major General D. D. Eisenhower, \nOperations Division, \nWar Department General Staff, \nMunitions Building, Washington DC ","Dear Ike: \nThis is a long delayed note of congratulations on your promotion. I did not know of it until Mamie told me the day she was out here. As a matter of fact, I was so sure of it coming through very shortly that I had considered the appointment as actually made. The third star is just a matter of a few months, No one will be happier than I when you pin it on. ","My division is moving to A. P. Hill in echelons. One regiment left this morning, and the remainder of the division will complete its concentration next week. The Command Post will close here at noon on April 21st. All preparations have been made at A. P. Hill. ","I am still like a child with a new toy, and feel that I am really accomplished something. Have lost about ten pounds and feel fine. A. P. Hill will give us a wonderful opportunity to get in some real field training. If the War Department will stop stealing my units, personnel and equipment, this Division will be ready to go places by the end of July.","Hope you are not working too hard. Judging from the newspapers, the situation, except in Burma and the Indian Ocean, is not so bad. I chuckle about the press reports I see concerning command in the Southwest Pacific. The underground story must be good. ","Will be seeing you soon. Best of love to Mamie and yourself. \nFrom,","Headquarters \nEuropean Theater of Operations \nUnited States Army  \n16 July, 1942. ","Dear Gee, \nYour letter of July 6th arrived today. You are quite right about the speed with which I moved during the last few days I was in Washington. When I got on the plane, it was only by the grace of God and with the help of the entire Operations Division, that I had any baggage whatsoever.","I knew, of course, that when I got a letter from you it would contain all the nice things you had to say about my appointment here. Better than that, I knew that in your case they would be honest and sincere. In return, I can only any that there is, as you know, no one else in the whole army whose good opinion means so much to me as yours. I hope also that you will not for one minute, believe that you are stymied in division command. While anyone commanding one of our divisions has a man-sized job and need not be bothering his head about anything else, the fact is that you are so eminently fitted for the highest commands that they will never be able to let you stay there long. My visits here merely bear out the conviction you and I have held for many years, that corps, army, and even higher commanders, have to be relatively young men. ","Another thing I have noted in going about here, that two things which cannot be over-emphasized are, physical condition of the men, and skill in handling motor transportation. The other day I ran into a division which had just completed ninety miles in three days. It was in fine shape, and it was easy to see that those Britishers were exceedingly proud of what they had done. On the other hand, I do not believe they have made as great advances in handling motor transport as we have. The problem of having it when you want it, using it as you need it, and then getting it out of the way when you don't want it, is really something to solve. ","I sincerely hope that your division will get the men and equipment it needs, and then be left alone under your guidance. It they do that, it will be a top-flight outfit and I should be proud to have it here. Which reminds me that I have not looked up to see whether we are asking for divisions by name or merely by total number - I'll have to find out about that. Since you wrote, the powers-that-be have given me a promotion. I'm quite well aware that this does not put any more brains into my thick skull, but it is noticeable that it helps considerably in dealing with the British officers, particularly here in London where much of my work is with the War Office, the Chief of Air Force and so on. Also it places, in the eyes of the British, a certain War Department stamp of approval upon me, thus allowing me to speak in a little louder voice in some of our meetings. I have been quite astonished to find that these people do not seem to resent my frequently fluent flow of Western Kansas profanity. In fact they seem to like it. ","Scrappy is doing a good job in the 5th Corps and has two fine Division Commanders, Ward and Ryder. Just today he at last got rid of an unsatisfactory Chief of Staff, and I feel very content with the progress in that sector. J.C.H. Lee is doing well with the S.O.S., and Spaatz with the Air Force. I sincerely hope that soon you will bring your division over here, although I suspect it will be a corps rather than a division that you bring. ","With best of luck and much love to Mary-Louise. \nAs ever, \nIke ","Major General Leonard T. Gerow, \nCommanding 29th Division, \nA.P.O. No. 29, \nFredericksburg, Va.","15 February 1943 ","Dear Ike: \nJust a note to tell you how delighted I am over your four-star promotion. I know of no one in our service who has done as much to merit such recognition, or who is as well qualified for the job as you are. You have carried out a most difficult assignment in an outstanding manner in spite of many obstacles, both political and military. Most of my news is gathered from the press, but knowing something of such matters I have been able to read between the lines. ","Hartle very kindly let me have a copy of your secret letter, dated January 15th, on training. It is absolutely in accord with my own views on the subject, and just what I have been trying to accomplish in this division. It takes all one's drive and energy to get the real picture down to the Grade 7 soldier. I find inertia and a lack of appreciation of real warfare in all echelons of command, and my most difficult job has been to educate and build up enthusiasm in subordinate commanders. When I can reach the soldier direct, I get an immediate and intelligent response. With due regard to secrecy, I am personally reading your letter to all officers of the division in the hope and belief that it will drive home to them the seriousness of this game and the necessity of perfection in all details. ","I shall miss Everett on my infrequent trips to London. In addition to the help he gave me in supply matters, my talks with him always boosted my morale and sent me back to the country with a new lease on life. I am glad you have him with you. He is loyal, unselfish and sound. Lean on him. Give him my best. ","Best of luck and every good wish for future successes. I am proud of you. Don't bother to answer this. I know how busy you are.","ALLIED FORCE HEADQUARTERS \nOffice of the Commander-in-Chief  \n24 February, 1943. ","Dear Gee: \nI could never be too busy to answer such a letter as your latest one to me. Of all the oongratulations and felicitations that I have received on this latest promotion yours, more than in any other case, I know to be absolutely sincere and disinterested. I especially appreciate your sentiments because I can never get over the feeling, one that I have held ever since I made Second Lieutenant, that in every respect you have deserved recognition far above myself. If, therefore, I felt that personal fortune and promotion had any slightest importance in this war, I should have to feel almost regretful that such a distinction came to me instead of to you. But you must know, as well as I do, that certain fortuitous circumstances, more than any indication of peculiar merit, were responsible for my advancement.","The letter I wrote to Hartle on training was from my heart. Moreover, it is not nearly as strong in its language as I would like to make it. I got back this morning from the battlefront. I wish that every Division Commander in the United States Army could go up there right now and see the consequences, the appalling consequences, of failure to achieve in advance some measure of battlefield discipline, to teach his men the essentials of scouting, patrolling and security, to insist upon initiative on the part of every leader from Corporal up, and finally to harden his men to the point that the physique of man can achieve no more. After the first few days our men did splendidly but in those first few we paid a big price. We have the greatest material in the world but our men meat learn what a serious business this is, they must know that their own lives depend upon the thoroughness with which they learn the lessons taught, and officers that fail to devote themselves completely and exclusively to the task must be ruthlessly weeded out. Considerations of friendship, family, kindliness and nice personality have nothing whatever to do with the problem. We owe it to the service to which we belong and certainly we owe it to the men, whose lives depend upon the energy, keenness and thoroughness that we display. ","I feel so strongly on this subject that I could write reams. It is enough to say that yours is one division in which I know that everything that one man can do will be done. The only thing on which I would venture to give the slightest advice is that you must be tough. You may not be able to discover among your men those that will be the best battle leaders, but you can find those who are this minute endangering the battle success of your whole command. They are the lazy, the slothful, the indifferent or the complacent. Get rid of them if you have to write letters the rest of your life. Special subjects I would bring to your attention are mine detection, the use of land mines in defense, thorough training in every possible means of anti-tank defense, and in defense against low-flying aircraft. Ground troops themselves must provide their own protection against the dive-bomber. The 50 caliber and rifle fire must be used. Insist that your men get under cover and start a volume of well directed fire into the air. If you don't, in their first battle they will be demoralized, an easy prey to the enemy's infantry and tanks that may come along even in inconsequential numbers. Battle casualties among personnel from the dive-bomber are almost nil, but their moral effect is tremendous. Your truck and vehicle discipline must be perfect; otherwise the enemy's aircraft will knock out 40 or 50 at a whack. That is a sad sight to see along the road when you realize how much shipping space you gave up to bring those same trucks thousands of miles across the ocean. For God's sake don't keep anybody around that you say to yourself \"He may get by\"--he won't. Throw him out and I am sure that your Theater Commander, knowing the deadly seriousness of all this, will back you up to the hilt. ","Your letters are always a treat. Write me again when you have the chance, and again many thanks for the thoughtfulness of your note. \nAs ever, \nIke ","The Leonard T.

You are quite right about the speed with which I moved during the last few days I was in Washington. When I got on the plane, it was only by the grace of God and with the help of the entire Operations Division, that I had any baggage whatsoever.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eI knew, of course, that when I got a letter from you it would contain all the nice things you had to say about my appointment here. Better than that, I knew that in your case they would be honest and sincere. In return, I can only any that there is, as you know, no one else in the whole army whose good opinion means so much to me as yours. I hope also that you will not for one minute, believe that you are stymied in division command. While anyone commanding one of our divisions has a man-sized job and need not be bothering his head about anything else, the fact is that you are so eminently fitted for the highest commands that they will never be able to let you stay there long. My visits here merely bear out the conviction you and I have held for many years, that corps, army, and even higher commanders, have to be relatively young men. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eAnother thing I have noted in going about here, that two things which cannot be over-emphasized are, physical condition of the men, and skill in handling motor transportation. The other day I ran into a division which had just completed ninety miles in three days. It was in fine shape, and it was easy to see that those Britishers were exceedingly proud of what they had done. On the other hand, I do not believe they have made as great advances in handling motor transport as we have. The problem of having it when you want it, using it as you need it, and then getting it out of the way when you don't want it, is really something to solve. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eI sincerely hope that your division will get the men and equipment it needs, and then be left alone under your guidance. It they do that, it will be a top-flight outfit and I should be proud to have it here. Which reminds me that I have not looked up to see whether we are asking for divisions by name or merely by total number - I'll have to find out about that. Since you wrote, the powers-that-be have given me a promotion. I'm quite well aware that this does not put any more brains into my thick skull, but it is noticeable that it helps considerably in dealing with the British officers, particularly here in London where much of my work is with the War Office, the Chief of Air Force and so on. Also it places, in the eyes of the British, a certain War Department stamp of approval upon me, thus allowing me to speak in a little louder voice in some of our meetings. I have been quite astonished to find that these people do not seem to resent my frequently fluent flow of Western Kansas profanity. In fact they seem to like it. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eScrappy is doing a good job in the 5th Corps and has two fine Division Commanders, Ward and Ryder. Just today he at last got rid of an unsatisfactory Chief of Staff, and I feel very content with the progress in that sector. J.C.H. Lee is doing well with the S.O.S., and Spaatz with the Air Force. I sincerely hope that soon you will bring your division over here, although I suspect it will be a corps rather than a division that you bring. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWith best of luck and much love to Mary-Louise.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs ever,\u003cbr\u003e\nIke \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eMajor General Leonard T.

I know of no one in our service who has done as much to merit such recognition, or who is as well qualified for the job as you are.

It is absolutely in accord with my own views on the subject, and just what I have been trying to accomplish in this division. It takes all one's drive and energy to get the real picture down to the Grade 7 soldier. I find inertia and a lack of appreciation of real warfare in all echelons of command, and my most difficult job has been to educate and build up enthusiasm in subordinate commanders. When I can reach the soldier direct, I get an immediate and intelligent response. With due regard to secrecy, I am personally reading your letter to all officers of the division in the hope and belief that it will drive home to them the seriousness of this game and the necessity of perfection in all details. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eI shall miss Everett on my infrequent trips to London.

Of all the oongratulations and felicitations that I have received on this latest promotion yours, more than in any other case, I know to be absolutely sincere and disinterested. I especially appreciate your sentiments because I can never get over the feeling, one that I have held ever since I made Second Lieutenant, that in every respect you have deserved recognition far above myself. If, therefore, I felt that personal fortune and promotion had any slightest importance in this war, I should have to feel almost regretful that such a distinction came to me instead of to you. But you must know, as well as I do, that certain fortuitous circumstances, more than any indication of peculiar merit, were responsible for my advancement.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe letter I wrote to Hartle on training was from my heart. Moreover, it is not nearly as strong in its language as I would like to make it. I got back this morning from the battlefront. I wish that every Division Commander in the United States Army could go up there right now and see the consequences, the appalling consequences, of failure to achieve in advance some measure of battlefield discipline, to teach his men the essentials of scouting, patrolling and security, to insist upon initiative on the part of every leader from Corporal up, and finally to harden his men to the point that the physique of man can achieve no more. After the first few days our men did splendidly but in those first few we paid a big price. We have the greatest material in the world but our men meat learn what a serious business this is, they must know that their own lives depend upon the thoroughness with which they learn the lessons taught, and officers that fail to devote themselves completely and exclusively to the task must be ruthlessly weeded out. Considerations of friendship, family, kindliness and nice personality have nothing whatever to do with the problem. We owe it to the service to which we belong and certainly we owe it to the men, whose lives depend upon the energy, keenness and thoroughness that we display. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eI feel so strongly on this subject that I could write reams. It is enough to say that yours is one division in which I know that everything that one man can do will be done. The only thing on which I would venture to give the slightest advice is that you must be tough. You may not be able to discover among your men those that will be the best battle leaders, but you can find those who are this minute endangering the battle success of your whole command. They are the lazy, the slothful, the indifferent or the complacent. Get rid of them if you have to write letters the rest of your life. Special subjects I would bring to your attention are mine detection, the use of land mines in defense, thorough training in every possible means of anti-tank defense, and in defense against low-flying aircraft. Ground troops themselves must provide their own protection against the dive-bomber. The 50 caliber and rifle fire must be used. Insist that your men get under cover and start a volume of well directed fire into the air. If you don't, in their first battle they will be demoralized, an easy prey to the enemy's infantry and tanks that may come along even in inconsequential numbers. Battle casualties among personnel from the dive-bomber are almost nil, but their moral effect is tremendous. Your truck and vehicle discipline must be perfect; otherwise the enemy's aircraft will knock out 40 or 50 at a whack. That is a sad sight to see along the road when you realize how much shipping space you gave up to bring those same trucks thousands of miles across the ocean. For God's sake don't keep anybody around that you say to yourself \"He may get by\"--he won't. Throw him out and I am sure that your Theater Commander, knowing the deadly seriousness of all this, will back you up to the hilt. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eYour letters are always a treat.

","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).

","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. ","Dates: 1907 – 2012, bulk date 1907-1995  ","This series consists of architectural rolls that contain drawings, designs, and plans of educational institutions, hospitals, churches, offices, retail stores, and private residences across the state of Virginia. The series also includes rolls that hold topographic maps, plot and general layouts, and site studies. The drawings comprise 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. For a detailed inventory of the drawings, please see the Charles M. Robinson architectural records drawing inventory in the External Documents field.","This collection contains some in-copyright material.
