Henrico Theatre

The Henrico Theatre is an historic theater building located in Henrico County, Virginia. The theater was built in 1938, and was constructed in the Art Deco style using poured concrete (a new technology at the time of construction) and brick. The building has three bays, of which the centermost is recessed. That central bay features the theater's name in large stylized letters, the building's original marquee, and a clock designed to echo the shape of the building and created by the International Business Machine Corporation (later IBM). The auditorium initially sat 782; its capacity was reduced to 400 after a renovation. History The theater opened on April 25, 1938, with a showing of "Thin Ice", starring Sonja Henie. One of the business's two owners had previously built the Byrd Theatre in nearby Richmond. The theater had been built with the most modern amenities, including air conditioning and high tech lighting and projection systems, despite its rural location at the time of construction. It was well received by the public, with its architecture in particular praised as some of the best recent work in the Richmond area. The theater is one of only two surviving significant Art Deco structures in Henrico County. The business closed in 1996, but was purchased by Henrico County in 1999 and underwent a $5.8 million restoration. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, and reopened in 2007 as a multi-use community facility. References External links Official website

High Rise Bridge

The High Rise Bridge, also known as the G.A. Treakle Memorial Bridge, is a four-lane, bascule drawbridge that Interstate 64 (I-64) and US 17 uses to cross the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River. The twin spans of concrete and steel were completed in 1972, and are operated by VDOT. Currently, the High Rise Bridge is the only highway-grade toll-free crossing of the Southern Branch Elizabeth River, since the Downtown and Midtown Tunnel began tolling in 2014. Other non-interstate alternate routes include the Gilmerton Bridge on U.S. Route 13 (US 13; Military Highway), as well as the tolled Jordan Bridge in Portsmouth. Because of the high impact a bridge opening has on traffic, the bridge only opens on a 24-hour advanced notice unless the scheduled lift time is during the bridge's restricted hours of 6–9 am and 3–6 pm, when a three-day notice is required. The current reconstruction project intends to produce a fixed bridge with 100 feet (30 m) clearance, expected to significantly reduce traffic delays associated with bridge lifts. History On Wednesday November 10, 2010 after the 2:30 opening the bridge was stuck in the up position causing widespread traffic delays. It was later attributed to an electrical outage during a lift at 2:30 p.m.. That failure caused a malfunction in the bridge's lift mechanism which caused the bridge to not close completely. Engineers had to manually lower the span back together, and reopened the bridge some three and a half hours later, at 6:00 pm. In 2016, the Commonwealth Transportation Board approved a $2.3 billion project that would eventually widen the corridor of I-64 that includes the bridge to eight lanes, and would replace the drawbridge with a 100 feet (30 m) fixed span bridge, initially planned for 135 feet (41 m), as part of the I-64 Southside Widening Project. As of October 2016, the plan is in Phase I, which would improve the corridor six lanes and build the new four lane Outer Loop bridge, which carries I-64 towards Chesapeake/Norfolk. The project is currently in Design–build status, and contract phase of 2017 has been completed and completion done in July 2022.

Highland Park Public School

Highland Park Public School is a historic school building located in Richmond, Virginia. The structure was built in 1909 based on a design by noted Virginia architect Charles M. Robinson. The Mediterranean Revival building is a two-story brick and stucco structure topped by hipped roofs clad with terra cotta tiles. In its use of the Mediterranean Revival style, the building was a departure from the Georgian and Gothic styles commonly used in Virginia school buildings of the time. The building used as the community school for Highland Park, Virginia, until the community was annexed by the City of Richmond in 1914. It served thereafter as a neighborhood school in the Richmond public school system until it closed in the 1970s. The building is considered to be important as an example of the work of Charles M. Robinson, who served as Richmond School Board architect from 1909 to 1930. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The building was converted from 1990 to 1991 into a residential apartment complex for senior citizens and re-opened under the name Brookland Park Plaza. References
Highland Springs High School

Highland Springs High School is a public high school located in the East End of Henrico County, Virginia. It was one of the first high schools established in the Greater Richmond Region. Replacement school After 70 years in its Oak Avenue facility, a new Highland Springs High School building opened for the 2021-22 school year. The new building replaced the original high school building with one built nearby. The project was part of a two-school replacement initiative by Henrico County Public Schools, which also opened a new J.R. Tucker High School for the 2021-22 school year. The two new schools cost about $100 million each. Both new schools were built on the football fields adjacent to their old buildings, and new football fields were constructed. The old Highland Springs High School building — built in 1952 and renovated in 2008 — is being repurposed as the Oak Avenue Complex. "The Oak" will be HCPS' first full-service community school hub, part of a strategy to connect students and families with community services. It will add dedicated areas for a variety of academic and after-school programs and create a one-stop shop where students and families can connect with groups providing services they need.

Hollin Hall (Virginia)

Hollin Hall was an 18th-century plantation house three miles (5 km) southwest of Alexandria in Fairfax County, Virginia. George Mason, a United States Founding Father, gave Hollin Hall to his third son, Thomson Mason, through deeds of gift in 1781 and 1786. The land, as given, totalled 676 acres (2.74 km2). Thomson Mason was the first member of the Mason family to actually live here. Before then, tenants farmed the property. George Mason also helped Thomson Mason have a house constructed. Thomson and his wife, Sarah McCarty Chichester, celebrated Christmas, 1788 in the new house. However, as late as 1792 George Mason wrote Thomson about difficulties procuring lumber for the Hollin Hall front porch. Fire destroyed the house in 1824, four years after Thomson's death. An outbuilding survived and became known as Little Hollin Hall. In 1852, Thompson's son George Mason of "Spring Bank" sold the property to Quakers Edward and Eliza Gibbs, and in 1868 Mason wrote to congratulate them on their success in growing wheat, which inspired his own son to try the crop despite financial difficulties after the war. Hollin Hall continued occupied well into the 20th century. In 1916, industrialist Harley Wilson and his wife bought the property and constructed a new residence, pool and other buildings. It was advertised for sale again in 1938. The Hollin Hills (whose name was inspired by the estate) neighborhood, primary to the west and north of Hollin Hall, was developed in the 1940s and is now a historic district of mid-century modern homes and landscape design. Mount Vernon Unitarian Church bought the property from Mrs. Merle Thorpe in 1958. It hosted a Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) training workshop in 1961, as well as other civil rights activities, both local and national, during the next several years. The congregation also worked against the Vietnam War and for affordable housing. In 1983, the church sold part of the property to finance construction of a new meeting house to replace the old car garage. Fairfax County added the building to The Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites in 1993. In 1994, with the help of Alexandria's Campagna Center, the main hall was restored as a decorator showcase, and started hosting concerts several years later. Further renovations (e.g. kitchen and air-conditioning) were performed in 2003–2004. It is currently available for function rental such as weddings. References

Hull's Drive In

Hull's Drive In is a 319-space drive-in theatre in Lexington, Virginia, one of the seven drive-in theatres still currently operating in Virginia. It is one of only two non-profit drive-in theaters in the United States, the other being Warner's in nearby Franklin, West Virginia. It shows current, family-friendly movies every weekend (Friday-Sunday) between March and October. History The theater opened on August 6, 1950, as the Lee Drive-In. Its owner was Mr. Waddey C. Watkins of Roanoke. In August 1957, Mr. Sebert Hull of Buena Vista assumed ownership. Mr. and Mrs. Hull ran the newly renamed Hull's Drive-In for the next four decades. When Mr. Hull died before the 1998 season, Mrs. Hull sold the business to Mr. W.D. Goad, whose auto body shop is adjacent to the drive-in on Route 11, north of Lexington. Thousands of movie fans were thrilled when Mr. Goad kept the drive-in going that summer, much the way Mr. Hull had for all the years before. The following season (1999), the high cost of the technical improvements that were needed discouraged Mr. Goad from opening the theater. That summer, the big screen remained dark as Mr. Goad searched for a buyer who could fund the necessary upgrades and run the business. Relief came in the form of Hull's Angels, the local non-profit group dedicated to preserving Hull's Drive-In Theatre. Over the dark summer of 1999, the group formed and by that fall, agreed that they themselves should try and purchase the business. They organized formally as a non-profit corporation, and by spring 2000, signed a lease with an option to buy over the next two years. A $75,000 capital campaign followed, and by July, the Angels had raised enough money from around six hundred donors to make the urgent upgrades and repairs and reopen the theater for the balance of the summer. 2000 was the resurrected Hull's first full summer season, and in 2010, the drive-in marked its tenth year as one of America's only non-profit drive-in theater. July 30, 2014, TripAdvisor.com voted Hull's Drive-In as the #7 top drive-in in the country as recognized by reviews on TripAdvisor.com.

Hungry Mother State Park

Hungry Mother State Park is a state park in southwestern Virginia. The park's main feature is a 108-acre lake with a sandy beach. Opened in June 1936, Hungry Mother State Park is one of the six original Virginia state parks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the early-mid 1930s. History Much of the land for Hungry Mother State Park was donated by local landowners to develop a new state park in Smyth County on Hungry Mother Creek. The original grounds, trails and campsites of the park were built CCC, like the other five Virginia state parks that opened on 15 June 1936. Governor George C. Peery attended the opening ceremonies on June 15 at Hungry Mother, giving a speech about the benefits of the new state park system. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Origins of name It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names. A legend states that when the Native Americans destroyed several settlements on the New River south of the park, Molly Marley and her small child were among the survivors taken to the raiders’ base north of the park. They eventually escaped, wandering through the wilderness eating berries. Molly finally collapsed, and her child wandered down a creek. Upon finding help, the only words the child could utter were "Hungry Mother." When the search party arrived at the foot of the mountain where Molly had collapsed, they found the child's mother dead. Today, that mountain is Molly's Knob (3,270 feet), and the stream is Hungry Mother Creek.
