The Chimneys (Fredericksburg, Virginia)

The Chimneys is a historic house located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The house was constructed around 1771–1773. The house is named because of the stone chimneys at each end. The Georgian home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in April 1975. Of note are the interior decorative woodwork in the moldings, millwork, paneling indicative of building styles of the period. The decorative carving on the mantelpiece as well as on the door and window frames is particularly significant. Design and construction The Chimneys' floor plan has two rooms on each side of a central hall. The two-story house is framed with heavy timber with mortise and tenon joints secured with hardwood pegs. Each timber is marked by chiseled Roman numerals. Spaces between wall studs are nogged with brick in the interior and exterior walls. Fredericksburg was a major port city in the colonies in the mid- to late 18th century and The Chimneys' hipped roof framing utilizes techniques common in the construction of ships' hulls at the time. The roof is supported by three heavy king post trusses. History It is uncertain who originally owned The Chimneys. John Glassell (1731–1806), a local merchant, is usually noted as the builder. Glassell came from Galloway, Scotland in the 1770s and purchased land in Fredericksburg from Charles Yates. Researchers at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg suggest that the house was built by Yates prior to the purchase by Glassell. During the American Revolution, John Glassell was a loyalist. He went to Scotland in 1775 and never returned. Ownership of The Chimneys passed to William Glassell to whom John Glassell had given power of attorney. An insurance policy written in 1792 showed William as the owner. In the 1800s, the house was bought and sold many times. One famous resident was Ellen Lewis Herndon "Nell" Arthur (1837–1880), later the wife of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur, who lived at The Chimneys as a child. The house was purchased in 1966 by the president of the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation and, for a time, the house was rented for income. In 1975 the Foundation moved its museum and offices into The Chimneys. After William Vakos purchased and renovated it in 1982, the building was sold to Robert Mitchell III in 1985. In 2000, ownership passed to Tommy Mitchell (no relation), the current owner. A succession restaurants have operated out of the property since its renovation. Renovation In 1982, the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation sold The Chimneys to William Vakos, who secured permission from Fredericksburg's Architectural Review Board and Zoning Board to create a restaurant in the building. During the renovation, the structure's weatherboarding was repainted in the original colors and porches were added at the rear of the building as well as in the front of the building where a 2-story porch was built. A veranda overlooking an English garden was added. Plumbing, electrical systems, and heating were also replaced. Prior to reconstruction, all changes were approved by the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation References
The George Washington Hotel (Winchester, Virginia)

The George Washington Hotel is a historic hotel located in downtown Winchester, Virginia. It was built in 1924 by The American Hotel Corporation, as part of their "Colonial Chain" of hotels. Like many hotels of the era, the property was built in close proximity of a B&O train station and was constructed to provide lodging to railroad passengers. History Early years Opened in 1924, the five-story hotel was originally built in the shape of an "L", with a rear one-story kitchen wing. It contained 102 rooms and 45 baths. The lowest level contained a barber-shop, cafeteria, candy shop and men's furnishing shop. In 1929, an additional wing was added to the hotel, providing 50 more guestrooms and giving the structure the shape of a "U". In 1950 the hotel was remodeled to include a Howard Johnson's restaurant. The George Washington was the headquarters of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. Notable guests include Lucille Ball, Jack Dempsey among many others. Decline With the construction of interstate highways and the dominance of cars, railroad travel began to decline. This contributed to the closure of the hotel in 1978. It operated as a retirement home - The George Washington Home for Adults - from 1978 to 1993. The property then remained vacant for eleven years. Restoration In 2004, the George Washington was purchased and restored, reopening in April 2008. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. It has 90 guestrooms, an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness room, restaurant Uno Pizzeria & Grill. It also has a cocktail lounge The Half Note Lounge. The hotel is managed by Wyndham Hotels as The George Washington – A Wyndham Grand Hotel. References External links Official website
Glebe House (Arlington, Virginia)

The Glebe House, built in 1854–1857, is a historic house with an octagon-shaped wing in Arlington County, Virginia. The Northern Virginia Conservation Trust holds a conservation easement to help protect and preserve it. The name of the house comes from the property's history as a glebe, an area of land within an ecclesiastical parish used to support a parish priest. In this case, the Church of England established the glebe before the American Revolutionary War. A historical marker that the Arlington County government erected near the house in 1969 states that the glebe was a 500-acre (200 ha) farm that was: ... provided for the rector of Fairfax Parish, which included both Christ Church, Alexandria, and the Falls Church. The Glebe House, built in 1775, stood here. It burned in 1808 and was rebuilt in 1820, as a hunting lodge; the octagon wing was added about 1850. Distinguished persons who have occupied the house include the Rev. Bryan Fairfax (8th Lord Fairfax), John Peter Van Ness (Mayor of Washington), Clark Mills (sculptor), Caleb Cushing (first U.S. Minister to China), and Frank Ball (state senator). The house is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, with number 000-0003. The National Park Service listed the house on the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972. The Arlington County Board designated the building as a local historic district on January 7, 1984. The house is located near Glebe Road (Virginia State Route 120), a major road through Arlington County, which also takes its name from the historic glebe lands of Fairfax Parish.

Tysons Corner Communications Tower

Tysons Corner Communications Tower, also known as Site E, is a classified United States military microwave tower located in Tysons Corner, Virginia. The tower is administered by the United States Army from Fort Belvoir. History The tower was constructed in 1952 as part of a continuity of government plan to ensure that lines of command were preserved between the U.S. President and military bases and troops in the field in the event of a nuclear attack. In the event that defense communication facilities in Washington, DC, were disabled, there were two alternate communication facilities on Cross Mountain in Pennsylvania and Lambs Knoll, Maryland. Another tower just south of the Raven Rock Mountain Complex in southern Pennsylvania relayed signals from these two backup sites to the Washington defense facilities, along with the Pentagon, White House, the State Department and other government facilities. However, the alternate communications facilities were located on the west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the microwave signals could not carry directly to Washington, thus the Tysons Corner tower was built to serve as the major relay between Washington and these facilities to the west. It was selected because it is close to the Pentagon and the White House but far enough away from Washington to withstand a direct nuclear attack on the city. The specific uses of the tower today are classified. It was rumored to be a government intelligence numbers station, although others argue that the tower's communications equipment is now obsolete. Several microwave antennas have been removed from the tower, including those pointed to Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center. It is speculated that these have been replaced by fiber-optic cable links. Additionally, the tower is reportedly connected by underground fiber-optic cable to Warrenton Training Center, which is a continuity of government facility as well as a Central Intelligence Agency communications facility.

Tour hertzienne de Tysons Corner

La Tour hertzienne de Tysons Corner, également connue sous le nom de Site E, est une tour hertzienne militaire américaine située à Tysons Corner, en Virginie. La tour est administrée par l'armée américaine à partir de Fort Belvoir. Historique La tour a été construite en 1952 dans le cadre de la continuité du plan gouvernemental visant à assurer la préservation des lignes de commandement entre le président américain, les bases militaires et les troupes sur le terrain en cas d’attaque nucléaire. Dans l'éventualité où les installations de communication de défense à Washington étaient désactivées, il y avait deux installations de communication alternatives sur Cross Mountain en Pennsylvanie et Lambs Knoll, au Maryland. Une autre tour située juste au sud du complexe montagneux de Raven Rock, dans le sud de la Pennsylvanie, aurait relayé les signaux de ces deux sites de secours vers les installations de défense de Washington, le Pentagone, la Maison-Blanche, le Département d’État et d’autres installations gouvernementales. Cependant, les autres moyens de communication étaient situés du côté ouest des Montagnes Blue Ridge, et les signaux hertziens ne pouvaient pas être acheminés directement à Washington. La tour Tysons Corner a donc été construite pour servir de relais entre Washington et ces installations à l’ouest. Le site de la tour est le point le plus élevé du comté de Fairfax et a été choisi parce qu’il est proche du Pentagone et de la Maison-Blanche, mais suffisamment éloigné de Washington pour résister à une attaque nucléaire directe contre la ville. Les utilisations spécifiques de la tour aujourd'hui sont classées. La rumeur dit qu’il s’agit d’une station de nombres du gouvernement, bien que d’autres affirment que le matériel de communication de la tour est obsolète. En effet, plusieurs antennes ont été retirées de la tour, y compris celles qui sont dirigées vers le centre d'opérations d'urgence de Mount Weather, bien que l'on pense qu'elles ont été remplacées par des liaisons par câble à fibres optiques. De plus, la tour serait reliée par un câble de fibre optique souterrain au centre de formation de Warrenton, qui est une installation de continuité du gouvernement et une installation de communication de la Central Intelligence Agency.

WHKT

WHKT (1010 AM) was a radio station licensed to Portsmouth, Virginia, serving Hampton Roads. The station was owned by Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting Corporation. History Although the station's initial application for a construction permit was filed in 1960, it did not sign on until December 12, 1971, as WPMH. It was a daytimer, allowed to broadcast only from sunrise to sunset, to avoid interference with other radio stations. AM 1010 is a Canadian clear-channel frequency. Years later, the station was permitted to stay on the air around the clock, using a lower power at night. Expanded Band assignment On March 17, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with WPMH authorized to move from 1010 to 1650 kHz. A construction permit for the expanded band station, also in Portsmouth, was assigned the call sign WAWT on January 9, 1998, which was changed to WHKT the next month, to WTJZ in 2021, and to WJFV in 2022. The FCC's initial policy was that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to remain on the original frequency. However, this deadline has been extended multiple times, and both stations remained authorized. One restriction was that the FCC has generally required paired original and expanded band stations to remain under common ownership. Later history In 2004, the call sign was changed to WRJR. Chesapeake-Portsmouth purchased WRJR from The Walt Disney Company, along with WHKT, in January 2010. In the interim, despite having previously brokered the station to Chesapeake-Portsmouth, Disney, in an FCC filing, stated that it took WRJR, along with five former Radio Disney stations slated to be sold (including WHKT), off the air on January 22. WRJR did not leave the air. On July 1, 2010, the station's call sign was changed back to WPMH. On November 19, 2021, the call sign was changed to WHKT, in a swap that moved the call sign WHKT from AM 1270 to AM 1010, and WPMH from AM 1010 to AM 1270. WHKT went silent on December 15, 2021, "due to the loss of its transmitter site". Responsibility for program origination of "The Lighthouse" religious format was assumed by WPMH on 1270 AM. WHKT briefly resumed operations on December 13, 2022, "utilizing equipment loaned by another broadcaster", but went silent again on January 4, 2023, because "that equipment had to be returned". On July 28, 2023, the FCC granted a request for the station to remain silent until January 4, 2024, while it worked to establish a new transmission site. The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on January 3, 2024.

Whitethorn (Blacksburg, Virginia)

Whitethorne is a historic plantation house located at Blacksburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. It was built about 1855, by James Francis Preston, who received the land from his father, Governor of Virginia, James Patton Preston. It is a large two-story, L-shaped, five-bay-by-three-bay, brick dwelling with a shallow hipped roof in the Italian Villa style. It has Greek Revival-style exterior and interior decorative elements. It features a wide, elegant, one-story, five-bay front porch supported by square columns of the Tuscan order. Also on the property is a contributing two-story brick office building. Preston, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point was a lawyer by trade. He was commissioned a captain in the 1st Regiment of Virginia Volunteers at the outset of the Mexican–American War in 1846. He served in Mexico from January 16, 1847, to July 31, 1848. Upon returning home from the war he resumed his law practice. When Virginia seceded from the Union Preston commissioned into the Virginia Militia, and was subsequently transferred to the Confederate Army, on April 24, 1861. He was promoted to colonel in the Confederate army and became the commanding officer of the 4th Virginia Infantry under brigade commander Stonewall Jackson. He commanded the 4th Virginia at First Manassas where he was wounded in battle. After several months of tending to his wound while in the army, including a brief two-week stint as a brigade commander, due to his failing health he was forced to resign his commission and returned home to Whitethorn. Preston did not live to see the end of the war. He died on January 20, 1862, at age 49. Whitethorne remained in the Preston family until 1889 when it was purchased by Beverly Stockton Heth, a Radford Banker and son of Chesterfield County coal mine magnate John Heth. In the early 1970s the majority of the 1,500 acre estate was sold for the Hethwood development, a planned community that includes single family homes, townhomes, apartments and a shopping center. The home and 50 acres of the property are still owned by Heth family descendants after much of the remaining farmland was sold to Virginia Tech in 2001. Whitethorne was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. References
