Senseny Box 2, Folder 79

This folder contains two copies of a report on the Senseny House in Lexington, written by Pat Dennis. This house was first built (by John Leyburn, John Parry, Josh Jordan, Andrew Wallace, William Letcher, Reuben Ross, Joseph Blair, Samuel Darst, John Caruthers, and John Ruff) as a schoolhouse. The report then discusses the various owners and uses of the building, including a school for black children bought by Nathan C. Brackett and a house bought by James Madison Senseny and eventually willed to Ellen M. Cupp and H. Greenley Senseny and later was rented by Washington and Lee University students. Finally, structural information is given about the house.

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.
