W., CALENDAR OF VIRGINIA STATE PAPERS, January 1, 1808-December 31, 1835, VOL. X, Richmond: James E. Goode, Printer, 1892.","James Barbour was born in Orange County on 10 June 1775 to Thomas Barbour \u0026 Mary Pendleton. Barbour studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1793 in Orange County. He was elected to the House of Delegates\nin 1798 serving until 1804, and again from 1807 to 1812. Barbour became Speaker of the House of Delegates from December 1809 until January 1812. He was defeated by George William Smith for the governorship in\n1811, but was elected to succeed him on 3 January 1812 after Smith's death in the Richmond Theater fire. Barbour served three one-year terms as governor until 11 December 1814. His governorship was defined by his\nrole in defending the Commonwealth from the British during the War of 1812. For nearly two years, Barbour directed a chiefly defensive war against the British paying particular attention to the defense of Norfolk.\nBarbour maintained close contact with the Secretary of War and militia commanders in filling the various requisitions for militia and making preparations for the defense of the state.","Barbour was elected on 14 November 1814 to the United States Senate for the term commencing 4 March 1815. While in the Senate, Barbour acted as President pro tempore from 1817 to 1820, as well as Chairman of\nthe Committee on Foreign Relations for the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, \u0026 Eighteenth Congresses. Barbour served as a senator until 7 March 1825 when he resigned in order to accept an appointment by John Quincy Adams\nas Secretary of War. Barbour again resigned on 26 May 1828 to become Minister of England until 23 September 1829. Barbour continued to remain active in politics serving as chairman of the 1831 convention of the\nNational Republican Party and 1839 Whig Party convention.","James Barbour married Lucy Maria Johnson on 20 October 1795. The couple had three daughters and four sons including Benjamin Johnson Barbour who served as rector of the University of Virginia. Barbour and his\nfamily resided on his Barboursville estate in Orange County which was designed by Thomas Jefferson and built by Barbour in 1817. Barbour died of prostate cancer on 7 January 1842 and is buried in the family\ncemetery.","James Barbour's Executive papers primarily consist of incoming correspondence during his three one-year terms as governor from 4 January 1812 to 11 December 1814. These papers are arranged chronologically with\npardons arranged to the rear. The correspondence in this collection relates to a variety of topics, however, the most significant correspondence during Barbour's governorship relates to the defense of Virginia\nfrom the British during the War of 1812. Other correspondence includes appointments \u0026 recommendations for state positions; prisoners \u0026 the Virginia Penitentiary; arms \u0026 the Virginia Manufactory of\nArms; Fort Powhatan; the Powder Magazine at Westham; the Public Guard; the militia; resignations; state expenses \u0026 revenue; and others.

Federal government correspondents include President James\nMadison; James Monroe, Secretary of State; William Eustis, John Armstrong, \u0026 James Monroe, Secretaries of War; and William B. Giles \u0026 John W. Eppes, Virginia's representatives in the Senate. President\nJames Madison writes on 26 February 1814 regarding the appointment of an engineer to make a further examination \u0026 report with respect to Fort Powhatan. James Monroe, as Secretary of State, writes Governor\nBarbour enclosing the act of Congress declaring war on Great Britain \u0026 Ireland (enclosure not included - See Executive Communications) (1812 June 19). On 1 July 1812, Monroe encloses an act of Congress \"to\nascertain the western boundary of the tract reserved for satisfying the military bounties allowed to the officers and soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment.\" Later, Monroe writes in support of\nthe memorial of the daughters of Col. Robert H. Harrison, aid-de-camp to General Washington during the Revolutionary War (1812 Nov. 23). In his letter dated 21 March 1813, Monroe discusses the raising of a\nregiment for the defense of Norfolk \u0026 the neighboring coast and the mediation between the United States \u0026 Great Britain offered by Russia. In addition, Monroe writes regarding the claim of the Virginia\nState Line for an equal portion of the bounty land with those who served on Continental Establishment. In this same letter, Monroe remarks on the crimes committed by British troops at Hampton (1813 Oct. 23).\nLastly, Monroe submits copies of the laws passed during the late session of Congress on the subject of the militia (1814 May 2).","The majority of correspondence from the Federal government, however, originates from the War Department. William Eustis writes regarding the President's call for the various executives to organize, arm, \u0026\nequip their proportion of one hundred thousand militia (1812 April 15). Eustis writes again on 30 April 1812 regarding the calling out of the militia and measures for the defense of Norfolk. His letter of 27 May\n1812 too relates to the defense of Norfolk.

Constant Freeman to concentrate the new recruits at Norfolk (1813 Feb. 10). On 22 March 1813,\nArmstrong writes regarding the enemy force and his authorization to Gen. Robert B. Taylor to make a further requisition for additional militia if necessary. Later, he encloses a letter from Col. J. Swift, Chief\nEngineer, informing him on the insignificance of Fort Powhatan against an exterior enemy (1813 Oct. 20). Additional correspondence from Armstrong relates to the following topics: the recall of three or four\ncompanies provided they are supplied under the second requisitions (1813 April 11); the law appointing an officer denominated as Paymaster of the Army (1813 April 27); the approval of Brig. Gen. Robert B. Taylor's\nmeasures (1813 July 3); the lack of rifles for distribution to the militia (1813 Aug. 4); the assignment of Big. Gen. Moses Porter to Norfolk (1814 April 2); a request that Gen. William B. Chamberlayne remain in\ncommand at Norfolk for several weeks until the arrival of Brig. Gen.

Gen. Moses Porter at Norfolk (1814 Aug. 20). Armstrong was forced to resign as Secretary of War on 4 September 1814 following the burning of the Capitol.","James Monroe replaced Armstrong as Secretary of War. Monroe writes on 31 August 1814 regarding the enemy's evacuation of Nottingham. On 1 September 1814, Monroe writes regarding the embarkation of the enemy\nvessels on the Patuxent and the danger of other principal towns including Richmond, Norfolk, \u0026 Baltimore (1814 Sept. 1). Shortly thereafter, Monroe writes of the inability to prevent the enemy from passing the\nbattery at the White House on the Potomac River, the departure of the fleet down the Patuxent River, and the possibility of an attack on Richmond or Norfolk (1814 Sept. 6). The same day he writes the Governor\nagain regarding a request to the Governor of North Carolina for fifteen hundred troops to report to the commanding officer at Norfolk. On 14 September 1814, he writes of the unsuccessful attempt by the British to\ncapture Baltimore by land \u0026 water. Monroe encloses a letter he received from Maj. Gen. S. Smith communicating this intelligence.

William B. Giles, Virginia's senator in Congress, writes regarding the resolutions of the General Assembly respecting the\nright of the several state legislatures to instruct its senators in Congress (1812 Nov. 30). Giles again writes on 20 November 1813 regarding the adjusting of the account between the U. S. and the individual\nstates for expenses incurred in calling forth the militia. Giles also encloses an act to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union. On 17 July 1813, John W. Eppes writes requesting\ninformation on the conduct of the enemy at Hampton for a committee of the House of Representatives. In addition, Eppes informs the Governor of the location of the enemy fleet on the Potomac River seventy miles\nbelow Alexandria. Eppes also writes concerning a revision of the militia laws and the expenses of the state during the war (1813 Dec. 23). Lastly, Eppes encloses a letter from Hugh Nelson, U. S. House of\nRepresentatives, regarding Virginia's claim for supplies against the U. S. (1814 Jan. 1). Similarly, in a letter dated 8 April 1814, Virginia's delegation in Congress writes regarding Virginia's claim against the\nU. S. for the reimbursement of money expended by the state in calling out, equipping, \u0026 marching its militia.","The majority of correspondence in James Barbour's Executive Papers originates from Virginia State government. Significant correspondents from Virginia State government include key military figures during the\nWar of 1812 such as Brig. Gen. Robert B. Taylor, Aid-de-Camp John Myers, Brig. Gen. Moses Porter, Lt. Col. William Sharp, William Lambert, James Bankhead, and Deputy Adjutant Generals William W. Hening \u0026\nClaiborne W. Gooch.

Nicholas, Attorney General; William Munford, Clerk of the House of Delegates; Theodosius Hansford, Clerk of the Senate; and\nSamuel Shepard \u0026 John Burfoot, Auditors of Public Accounts.","Brigadier General Robert B. Taylor corresponded frequently with Governor Barbour regarding topics of a military nature. Taylor accepted a commission as lieutenant colonel of the 3rd Regiment of Virginia Cavalry\non 27 April 1812. More importantly, Taylor writes the Governor on 14 January 1813 accepting the office of brigadier general in charge of the defense of Norfolk. Taylor was placed under Federal authority on 9\nFebruary 1813 commanding the 5th Military District. Taylor mostly provides the Governor with intelligence on the strength of the enemy forces, its movements, \u0026 location (1813 March 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 28,\n\u0026 29; \u0026 1813 April 1).

These papers are arranged chronologically with\npardons arranged to the rear. The correspondence in this collection relates to a variety of topics, however, the most significant correspondence during Barbour's governorship relates to the defense of Virginia\nfrom the British during the War of 1812. Other correspondence includes appointments \u0026 recommendations for state positions; prisoners \u0026 the Virginia Penitentiary; arms \u0026 the Virginia Manufactory of\nArms; Fort Powhatan; the Powder Magazine at Westham; the Public Guard; the militia; resignations; state expenses \u0026 revenue; and others. In addition to correspondence, there are resolutions from the Virginia\nSenate \u0026 House of Delegates; accounts; oaths; muster rolls; pay rolls; pardons; proposals; receipts; election returns; certificates; qualifications; petitions; reports; appointments; resignations; bonds;\ncommissions; orders; proceedings; applications; and other sundry items.","The Governor received correspondence from three main sources: the Federal government, Virginia State government, and Governors from other states. Federal government correspondents include President James\nMadison; James Monroe, Secretary of State; William Eustis, John Armstrong, \u0026 James Monroe, Secretaries of War; and William B. Giles \u0026 John W. Eppes, Virginia's representatives in the Senate. President\nJames Madison writes on 26 February 1814 regarding the appointment of an engineer to make a further examination \u0026 report with respect to Fort Powhatan. James Monroe, as Secretary of State, writes Governor\nBarbour enclosing the act of Congress declaring war on Great Britain \u0026 Ireland (enclosure not included - See Executive Communications) (1812 June 19). On 1 July 1812, Monroe encloses an act of Congress \"to\nascertain the western boundary of the tract reserved for satisfying the military bounties allowed to the officers and soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment.\" Later, Monroe writes in support of\nthe memorial of the daughters of Col. Robert H. Harrison, aid-de-camp to General Washington during the Revolutionary War (1812 Nov. 23). In his letter dated 21 March 1813, Monroe discusses the raising of a\nregiment for the defense of Norfolk \u0026 the neighboring coast and the mediation between the United States \u0026 Great Britain offered by Russia. In addition, Monroe writes regarding the claim of the Virginia\nState Line for an equal portion of the bounty land with those who served on Continental Establishment. In this same letter, Monroe remarks on the crimes committed by British troops at Hampton (1813 Oct. 23).\nLastly, Monroe submits copies of the laws passed during the late session of Congress on the subject of the militia (1814 May 2).","The majority of correspondence from the Federal government, however, originates from the War Department. William Eustis writes regarding the President's call for the various executives to organize, arm, \u0026\nequip their proportion of one hundred thousand militia (1812 April 15). Eustis writes again on 30 April 1812 regarding the calling out of the militia and measures for the defense of Norfolk. His letter of 27 May\n1812 too relates to the defense of Norfolk. On 18 July 1812, Eustis requests two companies of artillery \u0026 five hundred infantry to Norfolk. On 1 September 1812, Eustis writes regarding the President's request\nfor Virginia to call out, arm, \u0026 equip fifteen hundred of the detached militia to cooperate with the Northwestern Army. Lastly, Eustis writes regarding a commission for deputy quartermaster (1812 Sept. 7).\nEustis was temporarily succeeded by James Monroe, Secretary of State. Monroe writes regarding the protection of the seaport towns (1813 Feb. 3).","John Armstrong, Jr., was appointed Secretary of War on 5 February 1813. Armstrong writes regarding orders to Col. Constant Freeman to concentrate the new recruits at Norfolk (1813 Feb. 10). On 22 March 1813,\nArmstrong writes regarding the enemy force and his authorization to Gen. Robert B. Taylor to make a further requisition for additional militia if necessary. Later, he encloses a letter from Col. J. Swift, Chief\nEngineer, informing him on the insignificance of Fort Powhatan against an exterior enemy (1813 Oct. 20). Additional correspondence from Armstrong relates to the following topics: the recall of three or four\ncompanies provided they are supplied under the second requisitions (1813 April 11); the law appointing an officer denominated as Paymaster of the Army (1813 April 27); the approval of Brig. Gen. Robert B. Taylor's\nmeasures (1813 July 3); the lack of rifles for distribution to the militia (1813 Aug. 4); the assignment of Big. Gen. Moses Porter to Norfolk (1814 April 2); a request that Gen. William B. Chamberlayne remain in\ncommand at Norfolk for several weeks until the arrival of Brig. Gen. Moses Porter (1814 April 8); the need for a brigadier general as part of the requisitions for militia (1814 April 18); the report of Decius\nWadsworth regarding the construction of blockhouses at Fort Powhatan (1814 April 25); the quota of the requisition by the United States on Virginia (1814 July 4); the disposition of two thousand militia from the\nrequisition on Virginia (1814 July 18); a detachment of militia referred to in the Governor's letter (1814 July 22); and the refusal by the commanding officer of the 8th Virginia Brigade to be called into service\nby Brig. Gen. Moses Porter at Norfolk (1814 Aug. 20). Armstrong was forced to resign as Secretary of War on 4 September 1814 following the burning of the Capitol.","James Monroe replaced Armstrong as Secretary of War. Monroe writes on 31 August 1814 regarding the enemy's evacuation of Nottingham. On 1 September 1814, Monroe writes regarding the embarkation of the enemy\nvessels on the Patuxent and the danger of other principal towns including Richmond, Norfolk, \u0026 Baltimore (1814 Sept. 1). Shortly thereafter, Monroe writes of the inability to prevent the enemy from passing the\nbattery at the White House on the Potomac River, the departure of the fleet down the Patuxent River, and the possibility of an attack on Richmond or Norfolk (1814 Sept. 6). The same day he writes the Governor\nagain regarding a request to the Governor of North Carolina for fifteen hundred troops to report to the commanding officer at Norfolk. On 14 September 1814, he writes of the unsuccessful attempt by the British to\ncapture Baltimore by land \u0026 water. Monroe encloses a letter he received from Maj. Gen. S. Smith communicating this intelligence. Additional correspondence from Monroe includes the following subjects: the\nmovements of the enemy past Annapolis and the defense of Norfolk \u0026 Richmond (1814 Sept. 19); additional requisitions for militia to march for Washington (1814 Oct. 2); the expense attending the militia called\ninto service (1814 Oct. 6); the order of Gen. Joel Leftwich's Brigade \u0026 John Breckinridge's Brigade to Washington (1814 Oct. 15) Lt. Col. Hamilton's orders to proceed to the Northern Neck with five hundred men\nof the 3rd Rifle Regiment (1814 Nov. 3); and muskets, rifles, \u0026 heavy ordnance for the ensuing year from the Armory at Virginia (1814 Nov. 18).","Virginia's representatives in Congress correspond occasionally with Governor Barbour. William B. Giles, Virginia's senator in Congress, writes regarding the resolutions of the General Assembly respecting the\nright of the several state legislatures to instruct its senators in Congress (1812 Nov. 30). Giles again writes on 20 November 1813 regarding the adjusting of the account between the U. S. and the individual\nstates for expenses incurred in calling forth the militia. Giles also encloses an act to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union. On 17 July 1813, John W. Eppes writes requesting\ninformation on the conduct of the enemy at Hampton for a committee of the House of Representatives. In addition, Eppes informs the Governor of the location of the enemy fleet on the Potomac River seventy miles\nbelow Alexandria. Eppes also writes concerning a revision of the militia laws and the expenses of the state during the war (1813 Dec. 23). Lastly, Eppes encloses a letter from Hugh Nelson, U. S. House of\nRepresentatives, regarding Virginia's claim for supplies against the U. S. (1814 Jan. 1). Similarly, in a letter dated 8 April 1814, Virginia's delegation in Congress writes regarding Virginia's claim against the\nU. S. for the reimbursement of money expended by the state in calling out, equipping, \u0026 marching its militia.","The majority of correspondence in James Barbour's Executive Papers originates from Virginia State government. Significant correspondents from Virginia State government include key military figures during the\nWar of 1812 such as Brig. Gen. Robert B. Taylor, Aid-de-Camp John Myers, Brig. Gen. Moses Porter, Lt. Col. William Sharp, William Lambert, James Bankhead, and Deputy Adjutant Generals William W. Hening \u0026\nClaiborne W. Gooch. Additionally, prominent correspondents within Virginia State government include John Staples, Superintendent of the Virginia Manufactory of Arms; Peter Crutchfield, Commandant of the Public\nGuard; Abraham Douglas \u0026 William Campbell, Keepers of the Penitentiary; Philip N. Nicholas, Attorney General; William Munford, Clerk of the House of Delegates; Theodosius Hansford, Clerk of the Senate; and\nSamuel Shepard \u0026 John Burfoot, Auditors of Public Accounts.","Brigadier General Robert B. Taylor corresponded frequently with Governor Barbour regarding topics of a military nature. Taylor accepted a commission as lieutenant colonel of the 3rd Regiment of Virginia Cavalry\non 27 April 1812. More importantly, Taylor writes the Governor on 14 January 1813 accepting the office of brigadier general in charge of the defense of Norfolk. Taylor was placed under Federal authority on 9\nFebruary 1813 commanding the 5th Military District. Taylor mostly provides the Governor with intelligence on the strength of the enemy forces, its movements, \u0026 location (1813 March 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 28,\n\u0026 29; \u0026 1813 April 1). Taylor also corresponds with respect to the following subjects: Col.

Transportation and public safety was one of these six departments. The office of Secretary of Transportation and Public Safety was created on April 8, 1972, by an act passed by the General Assembly. Governor Holton appointed Wayne A. Whitham, a member of the Winchester City Council, as the first Secretary of Transportation and Public Safety. When Whitham took office on July 1, 1972, he was responsible for State Highway Commission, Division of Motor Vehicles, Department of State Police, Highway Safety Division, Office of Emergency Services, Department of Military Affairs, Virginia State Crime Commission and the Law Enforcement Officers Training Standards Commission. The Office has undergone a series of administrative reorganizations since. On April 12, 1976, the Legislature established separate secretariats for transportation and for public safety, effective July 1, 1976. On July 1, 1984, the offices were again combined. Most recently, the Secretary of Transportation and Public Safety was divided into separate secretariats on February 22, 1990.

Walters, a former top executive of the Reynolds Metals Corporation, to succeed Whitham as Secretary of Transportation. Walters served until the end of Dalton's term in January 1982. Governor-elect Charles S. Robb, the first Democrat to be elected governor since 1965, did not retain any of Dalton's cabinet secretaries. Robb appointed Andrew B. Fogarty, Dalton's assistant secretary for financial policy, as Secretary of Transportation. On July 1, 1984, the secretariats of transportation and public safety were combined again. As a result this partial reorganization of state government, Governor Robb appointed Fogarty Secretary of Administration and Franklin E. White, Secretary of Public Safety, assumed Fogarty's Transportation duties. White, who served as a White House liaison official under President Jimmy Carter, resigned in June 1985 to become the New York state commissioner of transportation.

Gilmore III, a Republican candidate for Governor, proposed in an April 23, 1997 speech the creation of a Cabinet-level post for an information technology officer. After his election as Governor in November 1997, Gilmore kept his campaign promise. On May 21, 1998, Gilmore issued Executive Order Number Nine, creating the Office of the Secretary of Technology. The new Secretary's responsibilities included the \"coordinated planning and effective development of information technology resources\" in Virginia. Gilmore appointed Donald W. Upson, a vice president of Litton/PRC Inc, an information technology company, and a former senior Republican committee staff member in Washington, as the first Secretary of Technology. The Secretary of Technology possessed Cabinet-level status but was not officially made a permanent member of the Governor's cabinet until 1999. The Secretary of Technology is appointed by the governor and subject to confirmation by the General Assembly. The Secretary is responsible to the governor for the Department of Information Technology, Department of Technology Planning, Center for Innovative Technology, and the Virginia Information Providers Network Authority.","Governor Mark R. Warner retained Donald W. Upson, the first Secretary of Technology, in an interim capacity through February 2002. George C. Newstrom, Governor Warner's selection for Secretary of Technology, began work on March 4, 2002. Newstrom previously worked with EDS, a global technology services company. Secretary Newstrom oversaw the Warner Administration's technology reform, including the consolidation of all Information Technology services and IT employees in the Commonwealth into a single agency, the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA). Newstrom also worked to fundamentally change the way Virginia government purchases and manages information technology across the state. Newstrom resigned on October 1, 2004 and was replaced by his deputy, Eugene J. Huang.","The Secretary of Technology records consist of eighty-seven archival boxes and are divided into ten series.  Series have been designated for Appointment Calendars, Cabinet Meeting Records, Correspondence \u0026 Supporting Documentation, Commonwealth of Virginia's Innovative Technology Symposium (COVITS), Decision Briefs, Projects \u0026 Studies, Public Relations, Strategic Plan for Technology, Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA), and Virginia Technology Alliance (VTA). These records document the work of the Secretary of Technology under Governor Mark R Warner. The bulk of the records can be found in the Correspondence and Supporting Documentation series which includes background information on many of the technology issues facing the Warner administration.

Blueprints and Drawings, 1940-1984","In December 1796 the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation authorizing the construction of a penitentiary and providing details on its design and operation.  Governor James Wood (1796-1799) selected Benjamin Henry Latrobe as architect and Thomas Callis as superintendent of the project.  A twelve acre plot of land on the James River just outside of Richmond was purchased and construction began in 1797.","The Virginia Penitentiary opened in 1800.  Latrobe's design, while architecturally impressive, was functionally flawed.  The cells were large enough to hold several prisoners.  However, the cell doors had no windows making it impossible to supervise the prisoners.  In addition, the cells had no heat, poor ventilation and no plumbing.  Prisoners also had to eat in these conditions since the penitentiary did not have a dining room.  The penitentiary's day-to-day operation was overseen by a Keeper (or Superintendent), appointed by the Governor for a one year term, and deputies appointed by the Keeper.  A board of twelve inspectors, appointed by the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond, oversaw  penitentiary operations.  In 1819 the General Assembly abolished the Board of Inspectors and created a five person Board of Directors  (later reduced to three members) who were appointed by the governor; the Keeper was still appointed by the governor.  An 1852 act gave the General Assembly the power to elect a superintendent for a two year term.  The 1902 Constitution expanded the Board of Directors to five members and empowered the Board, not the General Assembly, to select the Superintendent for a four year term..  In 1942 the Virginia General Assembly created the Virginia Department of Corrections, consolidating the administration and regulation of all penal and correctional intuitions under one agency lead by the Commissioner of Corrections.  This new department was overseen by a five member Board of Corrections.  Corrections departments were merged into the Department of Welfare and Institutions by a government reorganization act passed by the General Assembly in 1948.  In 1974 the Department of Welfare and Institutions was abolished and a new Department of Corrections was created.","Two of the most influential superintendents were Evan F. Morgan (1906-1909) and Rice M. Youell (1922-1942).  In 1906 Morgan established the State Convict Road Force to assist the new State Highway Commission build roads in Virginia.  Beginning in 1908, all executions were centralized at the Virginia Penitentiary.  Morgan oversaw the installation of the electric chair and established procedures for executions.  Youell was the longest serving of any superintendent at the Virginia Penitentiary.  He served as superintendent from 1922 to 1942.  During this tenure he greatly expanded educational and vocational opportunities for inmates.  He successfully transitioned the Penitentiary's industries to meet the requirements of the federal Hawes-Cooper Convict Labor Act of 1929.  This legislation prohibited the interstate sale of prison goods and went into effect in 1934.  The General Assembly passed legislation in 1934 which established the state-use principle regarding prison products created by convict labor.  The law specified that prison industries should only produce items needed by state agencies or political subdivisions.  Youell was selected as the first Commissioner of Corrections in 1942.  In 1948 he was named director of the reorganized corrections division, a position he held until his retirement in 1960.  Major Youell was elected president of the American Prison Association in 1937 and president of the Southern States Prison Association in 1955.","Latrobe's original structure was torn down in 1928.  The Virginia Penitentiary closed in December 1990 and was torn down in 1992.","The Virginia Penitentiary collection came to the Library of Virginia in multiple accessions over several decades.  In many cases, the original order of the material had been disturbed or was unidentifiable.  In other instances, the provenance was unclear and an educated guess was made as to which person or office created the records.  Care was taken to maintain the original order when possible, but for the most part, the arrangement of this collection is artificial.  The series names and groupings were devised by the processing archivist in an attempt to create logical divisions within this large collection.  Cross-references can be found in many series descriptions that will point the researcher to similar material in other series.","Additionally, separate box and volume numbering systems were imposed by the processing archivist for finding aid and stack location identification purposes. The box and volume numbers should be used when requesting material, but are not always in strict numerical order.","The Virginia Penitentiary collection contains a wide variety of bound volumes and paper records spanning nearly 200 years (1796-1991; bulk 1906-1970).  Included are administrative records such as annual reports, correspondence, office and subject files, minute books, photographs, blueprints, as well as specific records related to the State Convict Road Force and State Convict Lime Grinding Board.

The penitentiary's day-to-day operation was overseen by a Keeper (or Superintendent), appointed by the Governor for a one year term, and deputies appointed by the Keeper.  A board of twelve inspectors, appointed by the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond, oversaw  penitentiary operations.

DeJarnette Sanatorium Admission Registers","In January 1825 the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation providing for the construction of an asylum in the western part of the state.  A Court of Directors was commissioned by the Governor to serve as the asylum's governing body and charged with purchasing a site close to the town of Staunton, west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on which to build an asylum to house the mentally ill of western Virginia.  The institution, which became known as Western Lunatic Asylum, was the second mental health facility built in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The buildings and surrounding gardens were designed to embrace the idea of \"moral therapy\" for mentally ill patients by providing an aesthetically pleasing and tranquil atmosphere in which patients lived comfortably, exercised and worked outdoors.","Western Lunatic Asylum opened in 1828, accepting both male and female patients suffering from a variety of mental disorders.  Common diagnoses included \"hard study,\" \"religious excitement,\" and \"debility of the nervous system.\"  The asylum was overseen by a Keeper, a Matron and a visiting physician during its earliest years.  The hospital also employed attendants, gate keepers, night watch personnel, farm hands, and a steward who handled the day-to-day financial operations. The first superintendent appointed to oversee Western Lunatic Asylum was Dr. Francis T. Stribling.  Dr. Stribling was a proponent of the moral therapy approach, and was a leader in the early mental health community.  Dr. Stribling was one of the thirteen founders of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane, which later became known as the American Psychiatric Association.  Dr. Stribling served as the hospital superintendent and as a physician until his death in 1874.","It should be noted that the hospital underwent a short-lived name change between 1861 and 1865, when it was known as Central Lunatic Asylum.  (It should not be confused with an asylum of the same name later built in Petersburg, Virginia to house African American patients).  From 1865 to 1894 the name was again Western Lunatic Asylum.  However, in 1894 the General Assembly passed legislation changing the name to Western State Hospital.","Another highly influential superintendent at Western State Hospital was Dr. Joseph S. DeJarnette.  Dr. DeJarnette was hired as a physician in 1889 and was appointed superintendent in 1905.  His tenure was the longest of any superintendent at Western State.  Dr. DeJarnette was also responsible for founding the DeJarnette State Sanatorium, which housed patients with the ability to pay for their treatment.  Dr. DeJarnette remained the superintendent of Western State for 38 years, retiring in 1943 with many accolades.  He served as superintendent of the sanatorium from its formation in 1932 to his full retirement in 1947.  Dr. DeJarnette's involvement in the eugenics movement and his support of the involuntary sterilization of mental patients has in more recent years earned him a less favorable reputation.","Many of Western State Hospital's original structures remain standing on what is referred to as the \"Old Site.\"  Many of these structures are historically and architecturally significant and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  During the 1960s a newer hospital facility was constructed, and over the next decade patients and programs were slowly moved to the \"New Site.\"  Deinstitutionalization efforts and increased focus on localized community programs resulted in lower patient census numbers starting in the 1970s, and by the mid-1970s the Old Site had shut down completely.  The Old Site was later converted into Staunton Correctional Center, which it remained until its closure in late 2002.  The original grounds of Western State Hospital were eventually sold and are being converted into condominiums and retail space as part of an urban redevelopment plan.","Western State Hospital continues to serve the mental health needs of Virginia's citizens from the New Site in Staunton, Virginia. The hospital is part of the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) and is governed by the State Board of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.","The Western State Hospital collection came to the Library of Virginia in multiple accessions over several decades.  In many cases, the original order of the material had been disturbed or was unidentifiable.  In other instances, the provenance was unclear and an educated guess was made as to which person or office created the records.  Care was taken to maintain the original order when possible, but for the most part, the arrangement of this collection is artificial.  The series names and groupings were devised by the processing archivist in an attempt to create logical divisions within this large collection.  Cross-references can be found in many series descriptions that will point the researcher to similar material in other series.","Additionally, separate box and volume numbering systems were imposed by the processing archivist for finding aid and stack location identification purposes.  The box and volume numbers should be used when requesting material, but are not always in strict numerical order.","Researchers should also note that Series VI. of this finding aid describes correspondence, contracts, agreements, buildings and grounds records and other miscellaneous documents that were found during a records transfer at Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia in February 2010.  Many of the documents were created and used by building superintendent and architect Thomas R. Blackburn. According to records at Eastern State and Western State, these items were removed from the Western State Hospital archives in 1983 and used by researchers to accurately reconstruct the Public Hospital at Colonial Williamsburg.  The records were never returned to Western State and were eventually found in a basement at Eastern State in 1987.  The records were taken to the Eastern State archives where they were housed until the hospital transferred its historical records to the Library of Virginia in 2010.  The records in Series VI. remain part of Eastern State Hospital accession 44812.","Accession 50989 came from the Commonwealth Center for Children and Adolescents, which was previously known as the DeJarnette State Sanatorium. Because of the overlap between these records and the records found in the Western State Hospital records, as well as the fact that Joseph DeJarnette was the superintendent of both facilities, these records have been interegrated into this collection as Series VII.","The Western State Hospital collection contains a wide variety of bound volumes and paper records spanning more than 170 years (1825-1998). Included are administrative records such as annual reports, correspondence, office and subject files, meeting minutes, newsletters, photographs, and reports, as well as a specific departmental and program records relating to the Community Hospital Industrial Rehabilitation Program (CHIRP), the DeJarnette State Sanatorium, and the Shenandoah Geriatric Treatment Center (SGTC). Also included are financial records such as auditor's books, budget files, farm production records, and supply inventories. The patient-related records include admission registers, commitment papers, medical records, and several types of patient lists. Also included in this collection are a variety of report books created and maintained by staff members regarding patient admissions, attendants' rounds, ward activities, and many other duties performed at the hospital. The records of the Western State Hospital document many facets of the institution's operational history, patient life and medical treatment, as well as the evolution of mental health treatment in the Commonwealth of Virginia.","Confidential or personally identifiable health information less than 125 years of age that may be encountered during research will not be recorded, published, publicized, or re-disclosed to any other party for any purpose.

Goode, Printer, 1892.","James Pleasants, Jr., was born at \"Contention\" in Goochland County on 24 October 1769 to James Pleasants and Anne Randolph, aunt of Thomas Jefferson. Pleasants briefly attended William and Mary College in 1785\nbefore reading law with Judge William Fleming of the Virginia Court of Appeals. In 1790, he married Susanna Lawson Rose, second daughter of Col. Hugh Rose. Pleasants fathered eight children, including John\nHampden, founder of the Richmond Whig, who died in a duel with Thomas Ritchie. In 1791, Pleasants joined the bar of Amelia County. He began his career in politics in 1797 with an election to the House of Delegates\nrepresenting Goochland County until 1802. Between 1802 and 1811, Pleasants served as clerk of the House of Delegates. Though elected judge in the Court of Appeals in 1811, Pleasants declined the post in order to\nserve the first of four terms in the U. S. House of Representatives as a Democrat Republican. An anti-British advocate during the War of 1812, Pleasants supported the growth of the navy as chairman of the\nCommittee on Expenditures in the Department of the Navy. Pleasants resigned on 14 December 1819 in order to accept an appointment by the Virginia Legislature to replace John W. Eppes in the U. S. Senate. While in\nthe Senate, Pleasants served as chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs during the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Congresses. Pleasants later resigned from the Senate in December 1822 in order to succeed Thomas Mann\nRandolph as governor. During his three one-year terms as governor, Pleasants coped with a fire at the Penitentiary, boundary issues with the state of Maryland, and General Lafayette's visit to Virginia. In\naddition, Pleasants managed the settlement of Virginia's claims against the United States for War of 1812 expenditures and the establishment of the Western Lunatic Asylum in Staunton, Virginia. Although Pleasants\nretired from public life following his governorship, he remained active in politics as an Anti-Jacksonian. In 1829, Pleasants was elected as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1829-1830.

Educated at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Floyd was graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1806 while under the care of Dr. Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia.  Floyd settled in Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia, where he practiced medicine.  Serving as a surgeon in the Virginia Militia from 1807 to 1812, Floyd was later appointed surgeon of Lt.

Floyd served a one-year term and was re-elected to a three-year term as the first governor under the Virginia Constitution of 1829-1830.

The Company has been the subject of\n         several publications, which should be consulted for more\n         in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n         One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n         Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n         Railroad. Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n         \n        Griffin, Jr., William E. \n         Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n         Railroad, The Capital Cities Route.

Prince,\n         1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n         (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n         Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n         the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n         purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n         Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n         Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n         Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n         two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n         large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n         guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n         railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n         the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n         the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n         began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n         construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n         eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n         Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n         transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n         half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n         eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n         in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n         incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n         Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n         Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n         were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n         between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n         a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n         the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n         successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n         Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n         contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n         largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n         inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n         considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n         Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n         increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n         Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n         1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n         was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n         well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n         branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n         the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n         city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n         had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n         providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n         and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n         together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n         Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n         Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n         to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n         1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n         Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n         Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n         agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n         acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n         and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n         partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n         in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n         Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n         his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n         Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n         expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n         Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n         constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n         Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n         completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n         owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n         Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n         months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n         military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n         Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n         freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n         tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n         growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n         prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n         efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n         to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n         Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n         P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n         was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n         Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n         chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n         and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n         the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n         Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n         Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n         was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n         the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n         passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n         company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n         as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n         business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n         experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n         Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n         profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n         WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n         engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n         steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n         operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n         Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n         business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n         involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n         the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n         the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n         of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n         Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n         important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n         opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n         subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n         adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n         Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n         Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n         Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n         Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n         Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n         changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n         Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n         shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n         freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n         Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n         collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n         branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n         Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n         in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n         publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n         the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n         estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n         before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n         a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n         1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n         Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n         interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n         own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n         through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n         interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n         in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n         R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n         agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n         Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n         CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n         line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n         the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n         of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n         Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n         Co.Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n         Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.

R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n         Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n         the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n         purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n         Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n         Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n         Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n         two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n         large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n         guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. by prohibiting other\n         railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. In 1836\n         the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n         the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n         began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n         construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n         eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n         Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n         transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. bought\n         half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n         eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n         in mind, the Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n         incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n         Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n         Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n         were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n         between the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the A.\u0026amp; F. R.R. Co. For\n         a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n         the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n         successor of the Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat\n         Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. terminated its steamboat\n         contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eDuring the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. operated\n         largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n         inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n         considerable.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eIn the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n         Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n         increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. and the\n         Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026amp; P. R.R. Co.). In\n         1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n         was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n         well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n         branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n         the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n         city.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eThe R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n         had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n         providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n         and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n         together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n         Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n         Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n         to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n         1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n         Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n         Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n         agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n         acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n         and the majority of R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s voting stock. The six\n         partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n         in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026amp; P. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. and\n         Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n         his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n         Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026amp; P. kept\n         expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n         Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n         constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n         Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n         completed. R.F.\u0026amp; P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n         owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eStarting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the\n         Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n         months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n         military personnel and equipment.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eThree years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n         Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n         since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n         freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n         tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n         growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n         prompted the R.F.\u0026amp; P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n         efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n         to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n         Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026amp;\n         P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n         was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n         Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. was\n         chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R.\n         and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n         Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n         the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n         Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n         Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n         was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n         the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. struggled with reduced\n         passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n         company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n         as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n         business.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co.\n         experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n         Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n         profits in 1939.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eTraffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n         WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n         engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n         steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n         operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n         Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had started to pursue another\n         business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had always been\n         involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n         the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n         the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n         of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n         Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n         important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n         opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n         subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n         adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n         Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n         Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n         Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n         Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n         Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had\n         changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n         Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n         shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s most important rail\n         freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n         Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n         collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n         branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n         Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n         in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation, a\n         publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n         the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026amp; P. Properties, a real\n         estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n         before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n         a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n         1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n         Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Co., had been\n         interested merging the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n         own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n         through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n         interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. After one failed merger attempt\n         in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n         R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n         agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n         Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n         Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. to\n         CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n         line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n         the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n         Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n         of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n         Properties.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eAlexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Railway\n         Co.\u003c/emph\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eIncorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg\n         Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.

Prince,\n         1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n         (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n         Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n         the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n         purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n         Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n         Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n         Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n         two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n         large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n         guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n         railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n         the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n         the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n         began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n         construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n         eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n         Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n         transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n         half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n         eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n         in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n         incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n         Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n         Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n         were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n         between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n         a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n         the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n         successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n         Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n         contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n         largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n         inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n         considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n         Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n         increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n         Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n         1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n         was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n         well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n         branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n         the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n         city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n         had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n         providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n         and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n         together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n         Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n         Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n         to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n         1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n         Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n         Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n         agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n         acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n         and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n         partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n         in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n         Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n         his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n         Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n         expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n         Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n         constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n         Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n         completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n         owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n         Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n         months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n         military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n         Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n         freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n         tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n         growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n         prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n         efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n         to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n         Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n         P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n         was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n         Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n         chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n         and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n         the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n         Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n         Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n         was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n         the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n         passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n         company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n         as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n         business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n         experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n         Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n         profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n         WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n         engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n         steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n         operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n         Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n         business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n         involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n         the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n         the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n         of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n         Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n         important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n         opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n         subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n         adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n         Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n         Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n         Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n         Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n         Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n         changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n         Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n         shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n         freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n         Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n         collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n         branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n         Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n         in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n         publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n         the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n         estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n         before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n         a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n         1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n         Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n         interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n         own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n         through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n         interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n         in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n         R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n         agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n         Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n         CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n         line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n         the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n         Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n         of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n         Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n         Co.Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n         Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.
