George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge

Die George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge (örtlich nur Coleman Bridge genannt) ist eine Doppel-Drehbrücke, die den York River zwischen Yorktown und Gloucester Point im US-Bundesstaat Virginia überquert. Sie verbindet die Peninsula- und die Middle Peninsula-Regionen von Tidewater, Virginia. Die Brücke ist die einzige öffentliche Brücke über den York River, da die State Route 33 dessen beide Zuflüsse (den Mattaponi River und den Pamunkey River) kurz vor ihrem Zusammenfluss bei West Point überquert. Sie wurde 1952 erbaut und 1995 ausgebaut und verbreitert. Beim Ausbau wurde ein alternatives Verfahren angewandt, bei dem die Bauzeit erheblich reduziert werden konnte, um die Zeit für die Vollsperrung dieser wichtigen Hauptverkehrsader gegenüber konventionellen Bauverfahren erheblich zu verringern. Auf der aktuellen 1140 m langen Doppel-Drehbrücke verläuft die vierstreifig ausgebaute Fernverkehrsstraße U.S.Route 17. Der bewegliche Bereich wird benötigt, um Schiffen den Zugang zu mehreren Einrichtungen des US-Militärs zu ermöglichen, die sich flussaufwärts befinden, vor allem die U.S.Navy Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. Die Fahrbahnen befinden sich an ihrem höchsten Punkt etwa 27 m über dem Fluss. Die Brücke ist die größte Drehbrücke in den USA und die zweitgrößte auf der Welt. Die Brücke wurde nach George P. Coleman benannt, der von 1913 bis 1922 Chef des Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, dem Vorläufer des Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), war. Die Brücke war Teil eines Programmes, bei dem versucht wurde, Nistplätze für Wanderfalken in Virginia zu schaffen bzw. die Wanderfalken dazu zu ermuntern, selbst Nistplätze anzulegen. Die George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge ist mautpflichtig. Die Maut wird nur nordwärts erhoben und dient der Bezahlung der Brückenerweiterung auf vier Fahrstreifen. Die Mautgebühren sind wie folgt: Pendler (E-ZPass erforderlich) 85¢ Motorräder 85¢ zweiachsige Fahrzeuge $2 dreiachsige Fahrzeuge $3 Fahrzeuge mit vier oder mehr Achsen $4 Fahrräder dürfen die Brücke benutzen und sind von der Maut befreit. Radfahrer müssen den Radfahrstreifen benutzen, der rechts vom äußeren rechten Fahrstreifen eingerichtet ist.

George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge

The George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge (known locally as simply the Coleman Bridge) is a double swing bridge that spans the York River between Yorktown and Gloucester Point, in the United States state of Virginia. It connects the Peninsula and Middle Peninsula regions of Tidewater, Virginia. The bridge is the only public crossing of the York River, though State Route 33 crosses both of its tributaries (the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers) just upriver of their confluence at West Point. History Originally built in 1952, it was reconstructed and widened in 1995 through an unusual process which greatly reduced the time the important commuter artery was out-of-service from conventional methods. The current 3,750-foot (1,140 m)-long double-swing-span bridge carries United States Route 17, a four-lane arterial highway. The movable span is needed to allow ship access to several military installations that are upstream of the bridge, most notably, the United States Navy's Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. The roadways are almost 90 feet (27 m) above the river at the highest point of the bridge. The bridge is the largest double-swing-span bridge in the United States, and second largest in the world. The bridge was named for George P. Coleman, who from 1913 to 1922 was the head of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, predecessor to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). The bridge has been one of the sites of a special program to establish and encourage nesting locations for the peregrine falcon population of Virginia. The George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge operated as a toll bridge from 1952 until 1976, when the original bonds were paid off. After the bridge was rebuilt, tolls were added again from 1995 until 8:00 PM on Friday August 8th, 2025. Following a brief closure, the bridge reopened free to all traffic.

Hancock–Wirt–Caskie House

Hancock–Wirt–Caskie House, also known as The William Wirt House, is a historic home located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1808–09, and is a two-story, seven-bay Federal-era brick dwelling with a hipped roof. The three bays on either side of the entrance are formed into octagonal-ended or three-sectioned bow front projections with a wooden, two-level porch arcade screening the central space. It has a central hall plan with an octagonal room on the south, a rectangular room behind and a larger single room across the hall. In 1816, William Wirt (1772–1834) purchased the house and lived there until 1818, when he moved to Washington as Attorney General of the United States under James Monroe. Diagonally across Main St, a mansion known as Moldavia was then acquired by the Randolphs, who, like Wirt, were among the oldest and most prestigious planter-aristocrat families of Virginia and were some of the founders of the United States. The Randolphs, however, had to sell one of their mansions in Richmond and sold Moldavia to a Spanish merchant named Joseph Gallego, who in turn sold it in 1825 to John Allan, a merchant of Scots origin who was the foster father of the author Edgar Allan Poe. It was in this house that Poe spent about a year before going away to the University of Virginia in 1826 at the age of 17. The sale of this house to merchants scandalized the planter-aristocracy, who expressed in letters written at the time their disdain for the fact that mere merchants were taking over their property and their world. Later serving as the headquarters of the Richmond Chapter of the American Red Cross, the house is now a private residence. The last business to occupy this house was the law firm of Bowles and Bowles. The house bears a strong resemblance to Point of Honor in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Chesapeake Warehouses

The Chesapeake Warehouses are a complex of eight former tobacco storage facilities at 1100 Dinwiddie Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. These facilities were built c. 1929, and served as storage facilities for a number of the major American tobacco companies. Each warehouse was a single-story timber frame building with galvanized sheet metal walls, and was about 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) in size. Tobacco was brought into the complex, which originally had fourteen warehouses, by rail, and was delivered to local processing plants by truck. They were in regular use until 1963, when industry practices moved away from the centralized storage of large quantities of tobacco, a practice that resulted in significant losses due to insect infestation. Six of the original warehouses were demolished due to termite infestation. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

Columbia (Richmond, Virginia)

Columbia, also known as the Philip Haxall House, is a historic home located in Richmond, Virginia. A rare surviving Federal villa, Columbia was built in 1817-18 for Philip Haxall of Petersburg, who moved to Richmond in 1810 to operate the Columbia Flour Mills, from which the house derives its name. The building is a two-story, three bay Federal style brick dwelling on a high basement. The entrance features an elliptical fanlight opening sheltered by a one-story Doric porch that was added when the entrance was moved from the Lombardy Street side to the Grace Street side in 1924, when the building was expanded to house the T.C. Williams School of Law of the University of Richmond. In 1834 the Baptist Education Society purchased the house and it became the main academic building of Richmond College, later University of Richmond. It housed the School of Law from 1917 to 1954. In 1984 Columbia was purchased by the American Historical Foundation for its headquarters. The Foundation maintained its offices and a military museum at the property before selling Columbia in 2005. In 2013, Columbia was put up for auction and by late 2014 Thalhimer Realty Partners, Inc. (a Virginia-based division of Cushman & Wakefield) had purchased the property, repurposing the historic home from office space into Columbia Apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. References

Commodore Theatre

Commodore Theatre is an historic movie theater located at Portsmouth, Virginia. It was built in 1945 in the Streamline Art Deco style, and originally sat 1,000 people. The theater closed in 1975 and sat empty until a change in ownership and extensive renovation beginning in 1987. It reopened two years later, and as of 2023 was in operation displaying first-run films accompanied by a full kitchen. History The Commodore was built in 1945 by William Stanley Wilder, a Portsmouth native who owned and operated several theaters in Virginia's Tidewater region from the 1920s through the 1940s. The theater was named after Commodore James Barron, an officer on the frigate USS Chesapeake involved in the Chesapeake–Leopard affair and who is buried in a churchyard next to the theater. It is rumored that the construction supplies for the building – which ordinarily would have been unavailable due to wartime shortages – were allocated to the project due to the entertainment it would provide to the large number of soldiers stationed in Portsmouth. The theater's design has been described as "an excellent example of the Streamline Art Deco style." Its two-story façade features a plain mass of yellow pressed brick decorated with horizontal stripes of brown brick on the upper level with a central pavilion of curved-top vertical pylons of Indiana limestone and decorative strips of glass block. The lower level of the façade is composed of Indiana limestone ashlar veneer with a base of black marble. A dominant element of the auditorium is the pair of restored murals on the side walls representing the progress of America and the commerce and industry of Hampton Roads. After a period of declining attendance and conversion to an adult theater, the Commodore closed in 1975. It sat empty until being purchased by the current owner who performed a two-year renovation. The exterior's marquee and ticket booth were retained, as were the majority of interior fixtures. The original seating was removed from the main auditorium floor and replaced with dinner theater-style seating; a balcony uses traditional auditorium-style seating. The theater currently offers first-run films on a nightly basis, featuring Dolby Digital and THX sound, accompanied by a dining experience serviced by a full kitchen in the main building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It is located in the Downtown Portsmouth Historic District. References External links Commodore Theatre website
