A Guide to the Carneal and Johnston, Grace Baptist Church and Sunday School (Richmond, Virginia), Architectural Drawings and Plans, 1948-1955

These 41 Blueline prints and 40 Blueprints (the latter being two sets of 19 and 21 each) represent three sets of architectural drawings for two Grace Baptist Church building projects undertaken by the Richmond, Virginia, firm of Carneal and Johnston. The earliest drawing set (Commission #1186), dated July 6, 1948, depicts a new sanctuary building constructed on donated land in the Windsor Farms neighborhood of Richmond. This structure replaced an earlier sanctuary at the southeast corner of Grove Avenue and Boulevard in Richmond and was the result of a growing congregation and need for expansion. Additionally precipitating a need for a new structure, the earlier church building suffered a devestating fire on January 26, 1946. The drawings illustrate floor plans, elevations, sections, details, and mechanical plans for the sanctuary building.

Carneal and Johnston, [Presentation drawing, Store & Office Building, Methodist Publishing Company, Richmond, Virginia], ca. 1921

This accession consists of a single presentation drawing depicting a store and office building for Methodist Publishing Company, Richmond, Virginia, by Carneal & Johnston, Architects and Engineers. The structure is better known as the "Cokesbury Building" and is located at 5th and Grace Streets. The building is indicative of the style utilized in a number of 1920s commercial buildings. The inspiration for this ediface is the J. B. Mosby Dry Goods Store at 201-205 West Broad Street. Both are modern buildings that evoke the Italian palazzo. Carneal & Johnston were associate architects on the Mosby project.

Carneal and Johnston, Virginia Military Institute, Architectural Drawings and Plans, 1918-1984

The Carneal and Johnston Virginia Military Institute (VMI) architectural drawings and plans consist of 721 sheets. This represents approximately 56 separate commissions undertaken by the firm between 1918 and 1984 at the Lexington, Virginia, military school.

The bulk of the Carneal and Johnston material covers 1920 through 1976 and shows major renovations to existing buildings or new construction on the campus. The drawings depict elevations, floor plans, details, sections, and the like for VMI structures. Additionally, a few topographic and plat style maps are housed in the collection. The majority, if not all, of the correspondence from the Carneal and Johnston firm is no longer extant.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
