RE: Project Effect

Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) Project, Washington, D.C. to Richmond Segment

DHR #2014-0666

Dear Marc,

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 

(DRPT) are continuing environmental studies associated with the Tier II Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) corridor 

(Project). The limits of the Project extend from Control Point RO (MP CFP-110) in Arlington south to the 

CSX Transportation (“CSXT”) A-Line/CSXT-S-Line junction at MP A-11 in Centralia, Virginia (Chesterfield 

County), a distance of approximately 123 miles.

This project is receiving federal funding through the FRA, will traverse federal land including parcels 

owned by the U.S. Marine Corps and the National Park Service, and will require permits to be issued by 

federal agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Due to the involvement of these and other 

federal entities, the undertaking requires compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended. The FRA sent your office 

a project initiation letter on December 11, 2014, formally commencing the Section 106 process, and the 

project’s area of potential effects (APE) was approved by the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO; 

the Virginia Department of Historic Resources [DHR]) on February 2, 2015, as required by 36 CFR 

800.4(a)(1).

HISTORIC PROPERTIES

Reconnaissance architectural studies and archaeological survey on the majority of the corridor and 

Project alternatives were coordinated with your office between 2015 and 2017. In the fall of 2017, a 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was produced and a Preferred Alternative was

recommended by DRPT and the Commonwealth Transportation Board in December 2017. Subsequent 

technical studies were completed in spring 2018 to ensure that all areas within the APE were the subject 

of cultural resource studies; the results of this work were coordinated with your office through several 
 

Page 2 

801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000

Richmond, VA 23219

meetings and reports. A full roster of all reports is included as Appendix A. Based on the project 

background reviews, technical studies, and previous coordination with your office, DRPT has determined 

that there are 118 historic properties in the APE (Appendix B). Of these, 58 are buildings, 32 are historic 

districts (including those that comprise structural elements such as railroads), 5 are structures, 12 are 

archaeological sites, 10 are battlefields, and 1 is a multicomponent resource that contains all resource 

types. 

With regard to archaeological historic properties, most of the sites have been identified at the Phase I 

level but none have been the subject of Phase II-level evaluation testing as part of the current study. 

DRPT has elected to assume eligibility on all sites. DHR concurred with this approach during a meeting 

on July 26, 2017, and via email on July 31, 2017.

RESOURCE EFFECT RECOMMENDATIONS

In accordance with 36 CFR 800.5(a), DRPT has applied the criteria of adverse effect to these 118 

properties. The regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act define an 

effect as an “alteration to the characteristics of a historic property qualifying it for inclusion in or eligible 

for the National Register” [36 CFR 800.16(i)]. The effect is adverse when the alteration of a qualifying 

characteristic occurs in a “manner that would diminish the integrity of the property’s location, design, 

setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, or association” [36 CFR 800.5(a)]. This letter presents effect 

recommendations for the 118 historic properties, followed by an overall project effect recommendation.

The effect recommendations listed below were discussed with DHR at an in-person meeting on June 19, 

2018, and this letter reflects all comments provided by your agency at that time. Maps of resources have 

been presented in the 20+ technical reports produced as part of this project; as such, maps showing 

resource locations are not repeated here.

Adverse Effect

Based on an evaluation of the project design, construction, and operations, DRPT recommends a finding 

of adverse effect on 14 above-ground resources and 9 archaeological sites. Resources where an adverse 

effect could occur are listed below from north to south.

Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad (RF&P) (500-0001): The historic rail corridor includes 

the main rail line, spurs, and associated elements such as station houses, bridges, and other structures. 

The DC2RVA project will require the replacement of several contributing elements to this rail district 

(such as the bridge over Naomi Road [089-0080] and numerous culverts) and construction of new 

bridges adjacent to extant contributing resources (such as the Bridge over the Occoquan River [500-

0001-0022, see more below]). The removal of these contributing elements to the linear district would 

diminish the characteristics that render this resource eligible for the NRHP. 
 

Page 3 

801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000

Richmond, VA 23219

RF&P Bridge over Occoquan River (500-0001-0022): This resource is a through-truss, camelback railroad 

bridge constructed in 1915. It is both individually eligible for the NRHP and a contributing element to the 

RF&P Railroad. Current plans include constructing a second bridge directly east of the existing span, thus 

introducing a new element adjacent to the current bridge. The project has the potential to diminish the 

property’s integrity of design, setting, materials, feeling, and association through the introduction of this 

large new element.

Rippon Lodge (076-0023): One of the oldest houses in Prince William County, the vista from Rippon 

Lodge looking down Neabsco Creek (and current site of the railroad and associated bridge) was 

documented by Benjamin Latrobe in the late-eighteenth century. The waterway viewshed is a characterdefining feature of this significant resource. A new railroad bridge across Neabsco Creek will be built as 

part of this project. The new bridge will be west of the existing span and will be a new primary element 

within the viewshed from Rippon Lodge, thus impacting a significant element of the property.

Civil War Campsite (44ST1223): The rail corridor was an extremely important component of 

transportation logistics associated with the Civil War, and war-related resources were often located near 

the tracks. This site represents one of many Union army winter encampments in the area, occupied 

during the winter of 1862–1863. The addition of a new set of tracks will require disturbances to the 

subsurface matrix within the site, thus potentially destroying data-bearing strata that contribute to the 

site’s eligibility.

Rappahannock River Railroad Bridge and Associated Structures/Platform (111-0132-0025): This 1927 

multiple-span, open-spandrel, concrete arch bridge was built across the Rappahannock River in 1927 

when the rail tracks in Fredericksburg were elevated to allow for vehicular traffic below. The system also 

includes a series of rail structural supports and the passenger platform to the west, built at the same 

time. This structure is both individually eligible and a contributing element to both the RF&P Railroad 

(500-0001) and the Fredericksburg Historic District (111-0132). Proposed modifications include the 

construction of a new bridge immediately south of the existing span and changes to the structural 

supports and rail platform. These alterations will diminish the resource’s integrity of design, setting, 

materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. 

Marye’s Mill Site (44SP1087): The site represents the remains of a large mill, located on the banks of the 

Rappahannock River, which was in operation during the second half of the nineteenth and first decades 

of the twentieth centuries. It is a prominent visual element in many Civil War-era representations of 

Fredericksburg. Construction associated with rail modifications and construction of a new bridge 

spanning the river will result in subsurface disturbances throughout the majority of the site, thus 

adversely affecting the data potential of this resource.

801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000

Richmond, VA 23219

Fredericksburg Historic District (111-0132): This 200-acre district comprises the city’s historic core and 

includes hundreds of residential, commercial, educational, ecclesiastic, and industrial buildings. Current 

project plans include the construction of a multi-story parking deck to the south of the extant rail tracks 

and construction of a new rail station to the north of the tracks. In addition, contributing elements to 

the district, such as the Rappahannock River Bridge and rail structural system listed above, will be 

modified during the work. The new structures will introduce new large-scale elements to the district, 

and other building and structural changes will diminish character-defining features of the district.

Block 49/Train Station (44SP0688) and Block 48/Train Station (44SP0687): These two archaeological sites 

comprise two city blocks in Fredericksburg, stretching from Sophia Street on the east to Princess Anne 

Street on the west and bounded by Lafayette Street on the north and Frederick Street on the south. 

Archaeological work has uncovered numerous foundations and other extant features below the ground 

surface. Construction of the new parking deck and new station, platform modifications, and other 

structural changes as proposed will result in subsurface disturbances throughout both blocks, which 

have the potential to damage intact archaeological remains. 

Earthwork/Jackson’s Earthwork (44SP0468): This archaeological site includes the remains of a large 

series of earthworks constructed during the First Battle of Fredericksburg (1862) and reused during 

other periods of the Civil War. They are located predominantly west of the rail tracks and have a notable 

connection to military actions during the war. The addition of a third rail in this area may result in the 

destruction of small segments of these earthworks.

Doswell Historic District (042-5448) and Doswell Depot and Tower (042-0093): The Doswell district 

encompasses a rural community that was once a center of major activity along the nearby road and rail 

networks. The Doswell Depot is located at the center of this district, and the associated tower can be 

found just south of the district on the east side of the tracks. While similar depots and towers were once 

located throughout this stretch of the RF&P corridor, most have been destroyed or notably altered. The

Doswell Depot and Tower are in excellent condition. Construction associated with the undertaking will 

require moving the tower from its original site to a new location, likely to the east of the tracks (the 

Depot will not be altered). Moving the tower also has the potential to cause damage to the tower’s 

structural system. These activities may diminish character-defining features of this resource and may 

diminish its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. In 

addition, proposed changes in this area, including the moving of the tower as well as other changes as 

the nearby contributing Squashapenny Store, will negatively affect character-defining features of the 

district. 

Berkleytown Historic District (166-5073): This early-twentieth century development was created when 

segregated planning doctrines in nearby Ashland pushed African-American residents outside of the 
 

Page 5 

801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000

Richmond, VA 23219

town’s boundaries. Proposed plans include raising Archie Cannon Road, which comprises the northern 

boundary of the district, to pass over the railroad corridor. The construction of the new roadway 

structure will introduce a new visual element and also modify its original road plan, thus diminishing 

critical elements of the district.

Laurel Industrial School Historic District (043-0292) and Main Building/Robert Stiles Building of the Laurel 

Industrial School (043-0292-0001): The Laurel Industrial School, founded in 1892, was one of several 

reform campuses built in Virginia by the Prison Association of Virginia to rectify the state’s broken penal 

system. The Robert Stiles Building served as the facility’s main dormitory, chapel, school, and dining hall. 

Current project plans include grade-separating (i.e., raising) Hungary Road over the rail corridor. This 

action will result in the construction of a new road overpass structure within the viewshed of the district 

and Main Building and modifications of the road system within the district boundaries. These actions 

will impact the design, setting, feeling, and association of these two resources.

Shockoe Valley & Tobacco Row Historic District (127-0344), Main Street Station and Trainshed (127-

0172), Seaboard Air Line Railroad (127-6271), and Railroad Y.M.C.A (127-0344-0123): These four 

resources are all located in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom. This area was the site of Richmond’s earliest 

residential, commercial, and industrial activities, commencing in the eighteenth century. Due to its 

location near notable transportation hubs, it was also the location of numerous holding pens and 

markets specializing in the sale of enslaved individuals in the years prior to the Civil War. In 1900, the 

area was selected as the northern terminus of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, a new rail route between 

Richmond and Florida, and Main Street Station and the Railroad Y.M.C.A. were built to cater to rail 

travelers. DRPT project plans include several changes to the existing rail infrastructure, including: 

elongating the passenger platforms at the station, creating new structural elements (piers) to support 

the platforms, and the construction of a new multi-story parking deck to the east of the station and 

immediately behind the Y.M.C.A. building. These changes will modify the existing viewshed from all four 

of these resources and alter character-defining features of the station—which is not only a National 

Historic Landmark but also a contributing element to the Shockoe Valley & Tobacco Row Historic District 

and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. 

Sites 44HE1098, 44HE1097, and 44HE1094: All three of these archaeological sites are located in 

downtown Richmond. They were recorded based on map projections showing the locations of post-Civil 

War warehouses that have been demolished; their exact composition and integrity is unknown as no 

archaeological studies have been conducted. Modifications to the structural support system for rail 

infrastructure in this area would result in minor subsurface disturbances within the recorded boundaries 

of these sites. Should these sites contain significant deposits, this work would negatively impact databearing strata.
 

Page 6 

801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000

Richmond, VA 23219

Site 44HE0357: Like the sites above, this resource was recorded based on map projections. However, 

while the previous three sites represent warehouses, this site potentially includes a privy/pit complex 

associated with a former residential building. It is now the southern parking lot for Main Street Station. 

Structural system changes may require the installation of new piers in this area and thus impacts to 

potentially significant archaeological deposits may occur. 

No Adverse Effect

DRPT recommends a finding of no adverse effect on 65 of the 118 historic properties within the Project’s 

APE. DRPT’s careful project analysis and redesigns have avoided impacts to these properties. While the 

Project may alter the viewshed or minor physical characteristics of these resources, it will not diminish 

any of the characteristics that render these resources eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A–D or Criteria 

Considerations A–G. These 64 resources include (listed north to south):

PROJECT EFFECT RECOMMENDATION

In addition to evaluating the effect on individual historic properties, DRPT also assessed the overall 

project’s potential to have an adverse effect on cultural resources. Based on the data presented above, 

DRPT has recommended a finding that the Project will have an adverse effect on 24 resources in the 

project APE. As such, DRPT recommends that the overall project will have an adverse effect on historic 

properties.

We invite your agency to concur with these recommendations within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If 

you have questions about these effect recommendations or cultural resource studies for this project in 

general, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Emily Stock, DRPT Project Manager, at (804) 591-4433 or 

via email at Emily.stock@drpt.virginia.gov, or me at (540) 899-9170 or via email at

RE: Project Effect- Addendum

Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) Project, Washington, D.C. to Richmond Segment

DHR #2014-0666

Dear Marc,

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 

(DRPT) are continuing environmental studies associated with the Tier II Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) corridor 

(Project). On June 20, 2018, the DC2RVA team submitted a summary of historic properties located in the 

Area of Potential Effects (APE) (n=118) and recommendations on project effect. Subsequent to the 

submittal of this document, three consulting party meetings were held to discuss the list of historic 

properties and effect determinations. The results of these meetings were discussed with you during a 

conference call between FRA, DRPT, your office, and the project team on July 2, 2018. During the 

dialogue, it was determined that one additional historic property is located in the APE based on 

consulting party comments: Masons’ Hall in Richmond (127-0019). This brings the total number of 

historic properties for the DC2RVA project to 119 (see attached revised list). This letter presents a 

project effect recommendation for this additional resource. The recommendation is based on our July 2, 

2018 dialogue. 

Masons’ Hall, located at 1815 Franklin Street, is a two-story, three-bay frame structure on a brick English 

basement built in 1785. It is the oldest continually operating Masonic lodge in the country. It is listed in 

the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criteria A and C. The lodge faces north onto 

Franklin Street. Current project plans include the possible construction of a parking garage one and a 

half blocks west of the resource. The closest point of the NRHP boundary to the proposed deck parcel is 

approximately 470 feet. While the upper segment of the parking garage may be partially visible from 

portions of the property, based on our July 2 call, it is believed that the project will not have the 

potential to diminish the characteristics that led this resource to be listed in the NRHP. Distance, 

vegetation, and other multistory buildings in the immediate area and the viewshed mask most of the 

proposed garage area from the primary viewshed of this resource. The tenants applied to this analysis 
 

Page 2 

801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000

Richmond, VA 23219

parallel those used on other resources in this area as well as along other portions of the project area, 

such as in Fredericksburg where a parking garage is also proposed. 

The remainder of the effect recommendations on individual resources and the project’s overall effect on 

historic properties presented on June 20, 2018 remain unchanged. 

We invite your agency to concur with these recommendations within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If 

you have questions about these effect recommendations or cultural resource studies for this project in 

general, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Emily Stock, DRPT Project Manager, at (804) 591-4433 or 

via email at Emily.stock@drpt.virginia.gov, or me at (540) 899-9170 or via email at

RE: Project Eligibility and Effect- Addendum #2

Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) Project, Washington, D.C. to Richmond Segment

DHR #2014-0666

Dear Marc,

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 

(DRPT) are continuing environmental studies associated with the Tier II Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) corridor 

(Project). On June 20, 2018, the DC2RVA team submitted a summary of historic properties located in the 

Area of Potential Effects (APE) (n=118) and recommendations on project effect. This list of historic 

properties was based on three years of technical studies and correspondence and meetings with 

consulting parties. Your agency concurred with the list of historic properties and effect determinations 

in a letter dated June 28, 2018. 

Three additional consulting party meetings were concurrently held in June 2018 to discuss this list of 

historic properties and effect determinations. Based on these meetings, one additional historic property 

was added to the roster: Masons’ Hall in Richmond (127-0019). The total number of historic properties 

was revised to be 119. A revised effect determination letter was submitted on July 9, 2018 and your 

concurrence was received on July 18, 2018.

Since submitting the revised effect determination, one design change has been made to the Project. A 

three-story parking deck proposed to be constructed east of Main Street Station in Richmond has been 

removed, along with associated roadway modifications. In addition, a third round of consulting party 

meetings and associated conference calls was held in October 2018 and additional feedback on historic 

properties and effect were received. All feedback received in meetings, via email, through telephone 

calls, and as hard-copy letters has been evaluated and thoroughly discussed with the FRA, DRPT, 

Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources 

(DHR), as well as with the consulting parties. 
 

Page 2 

600 E. Main Street, Suite 1200

Richmond, VA 23219

Dialogues associated with the Project redesigns and extensive feedback have resulted in additional 

modifications to the list of historic properties and project effect. In sum, two related resources have 

been evaluated as a potential Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) (Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre Site 

[44HE1053] and “Burial Ground for Negros” [44HE1089]), two archaeological sites have been added to 

the list of historic properties (Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre Site [44HE1053] and Grave Yard for Free 

People of Color and Slaves [44HE1203]), one resource has been removed from the list of historic 

properties (site 44HE0357), and one resource has a recommended effect change (Railroad Y.M.C.A. 

[127-0344-0123]). Additional details on these resources are below. In total, with these changes, the 

number of historic properties in the APE has increased to 120.

Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre site (44HE1053) and “Burial Ground for Negros” 

(44HE1089)

The Lumpkins Jail/Devil’s Half Acre site (44HE1053) is located west of Main Street Station in Shockoe 

Bottom (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The “Burial Ground for Negros” (44HE1089) is located nearby, north of 

Broad Street and east of I-95. On July 20, 2018, the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) 

submitted a letter to DRPT stating that they believed that the two sites, as well as several to-berecorded resources, comprised a TCP representing the Richmond slave trade. Since receipt of their 

letter, FRA and DRPT have held numerous meetings with the DHR, ACHP, and consulting parties to 

evaluate this area as a potential TCP. They have also conducted extensive research and coordination on 

TCPs in general, TCPs in Virginia, and the Shockoe area as a TCP in particular, to assure that all avenues 

have been explored. According to the National Park Service (NPS), a TCP is: “a property that is eligible 

for inclusion in the National Register based on its associations with the cultural practices, traditions, 

beliefs, lifeways, arts, crafts, or social institutions of a living community. TCPs are rooted in a traditional 

community’s history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the 

community.” Data gathered as part of the TCP review has been discussed with the FRA, DRPT, ACHP, and 

DHR to solicit their input and ascertain the path forward. Based on this consultation, FRA recommends 

that the Shockoe area does not meet the definition of a TCP based on the extant information at hand 

and its interpretation of this type of resource.

Beyond considering this area as a TCP, the NTHP also requested that both Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half 

Acre and Burial Ground for Negros should be included in the (APE). The APE was initially coordinated 

with the DHR in February 2015. The extent was based on the previous Richmond to Raleigh High Speed 

Rail study and included different APEs for above- and below-ground resources. Based on cultural 

resource studies, modifications to the project design, and input from consulting parties, the APE has 

been modified since that time to include resources wherein the Project has the potential to impact 

character-defining features of a resource. The NTHP stated that the APE is inconsistent with Section 106 
 

Page 3 

600 E. Main Street, Suite 1200

Richmond, VA 23219

regulations and requested that the APE in Shockoe be enlarged to include the Lumpkin’s Jail Site 

(44HE1053) and the Burial Ground for Negros (44HE1089). 

Expansion of the APE in this area was discussed extensively with involved agencies and presented to 

consulting parties on October 12, 2018. Through these dialogues, it is recommended that the APE 

should be expanded to include the Lumpkin’s Jail Site but not the Burial Ground for Negros. Although 

numerous archaeological studies have been completed to locate the Burial Ground for Negros, no 

physical evidence of this site has yet to be uncovered. As such, the data potential and significance of this 

site is unknown, and this site is not included in the APE. Archaeological studies at Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s 

Half Acre occurred in 2006 and 2008 and features and artifacts representing Richmond’s slave trade 

were uncovered beneath over 10 feet of fill. Although the site has not received a formal eligibility 

determination from the DHR, based on numerous dialogues and meetings regarding this resource, the 

FRA and DRPT are including the site in APE and assuming eligibility of this site under Criterion A for its 

association with the slave trade industry and under Criterion D as an archaeological site for its ability to 

provide information on area history. 

In addition to examining its inclusion in the APE, FRA also evaluated the potential project effect on this 

historic property. As a resource assumed eligible under Criterion A, the applicable aspects of integrity 

that render an association with the slave trade are location, design, materials, workmanship, and 

association. None of these aspects will be altered by the current Project. While the Project may alter the 

integrity of setting and feeling of the resource due to the widening of one rail platform by approximately 

15 feet and increase in train traffic, these two aspects of integrity do not contribute to the overall 

eligibility of the site as they have been severely impacted over many years by the channeling of Shockoe 

Creek, construction of I-95, and other large-scale development and re-development in this area (Figure 3

and Figure 4).

Regarding Criterion D, the site is located over 300 feet west of the closest project element, and no 

subsurface disturbance will occur within or near the site boundaries (see Figure 2). Regardless, FRA and 

DRPT are committed to completing archaeological monitoring and data recovery in all areas where 

subsurface construction activities for the Project are required in the vicinity of this site and Main Street 

Station. Archaeological excavations will be completed prior to construction should artifact-bearing 

deposits associated with this site, or the slave trade in general, be located in the Project’s limits of 

disturbance. Through this commitment and due to the extant diminished setting and feeling of the 

resource site, it is recommended that the Project will have no adverse effect on this resource. This 

recommendation reflects National Park Service Bulletin 36 (p. 19) regarding archaeological sites that are 

eligible under multiple criteria. Despite this recommendation, the FRA and DRPT recognize the 

importance of this site and acknowledge the history of this area, specifically as it relates to the slave 

trade. As such, the site is being considered a contributing element to the surrounding Shockoe Valley 
 

Page 4 

600 E. Main Street, Suite 1200

Richmond, VA 23219

and Tobacco Row Historic District (127-0344) as part of this Project, and mitigation to the adverse 

effects on this district (as determined by your office in June 2018) will include stipulations associated 

with this significant site and its value as an important piece of Richmond’s past.

Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203)

The Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203) is located north of Hospital Street. 

The site represents a cemetery established around 1816 and in use until the mid-nineteenth century. 

The area has been repeatedly modified in the twentieth century, including the construction of a gas 

station on a portion of the lot. There is no above-ground evidence of the site. Archaeological studies to 

identify portions of the cemetery were conducted several times by the Virginia Department of 

Transportation, but no physical evidence was uncovered. Due to its presence on numerous historic 

maps, though, the resource was recorded as an archaeological site during the DC2RVA Project and 

determined to be potentially eligible for the NRHP under Criterion D; the site’s boundaries were 

determined based on historic map projections. Although the DHR concurred with DRPT’s initial eligibility 

assessment in a letter dated June 12, 2018 that the portion of the site within the APE does not 

contribute to the eligibility of this resource, FRA and DRPT have elected to include the overall site within 

the roster of historic properties based on consulting party comments. 

Using available data on the site’s boundaries, the project team reworked roadway plans in this area to 

avoid any portion of the site that may have intact soils (Figure 5). The northern limit of disturbance for 

modifications to Hospital Street was reduced to parallel the existing street cut—an area that is already 

disturbed. Through this action, the Project now avoids areas of the site with any likely potential to 

contain interments or other significant archaeological deposits. It is recommended that the Project will 

have no adverse effect on this resource. 

Site 44HE0357

Site 44HE0357 represents the archaeological remains of a late-eighteenth through nineteenth century 

privy and backyard complex. The site is located east of Main Street Station in Shockoe Bottom. The 

original effect determination was predicated on the construction of a parking deck in this area, which 

would have resulted in adverse effects to significant archaeological deposits. With the removal of the 

parking deck, this site is no longer in the APE as no construction activities are located within or near the 

site (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Railroad Y.M.C.A. (127-0344-0123)

The Railroad Y.M.C.A. (127-0344-0123) at 1552 East Main Street is a circa 1907 building constructed to 

provide recreational space for railroad workers and their families in the area. Previous plans for the 

Project included a multistory parking deck immediately to the rear of this building, which had the 

potential to diminish its integrity of setting, feeling and association resulting in an adverse effect 

determination. Due to the removal of the parking deck from project plans, no major project structural 

elements are in the general viewshed of this resource. Project plans do include addition of new 

platforms extending outward 15 feet alongside the existing rail viaduct and train shed on both the east 

and west sides of Main Street Station. These minimal changes will not diminish the characteristics that 

render this resource eligible for the NRHP (see Figure 2 for limits of disturbance in this area). As such, it 

is recommended that the Project will now have no adverse effect on this resource. 

The remainder of the effect recommendations on individual resources and the Project’s overall effect on 

historic properties presented on June 20, 2018 and July 9, 2018 remain unchanged. The attached table 

represents a full compendium of all 120 resources and effect determinations. 

We invite your agency to concur with these recommendations within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If 

you have questions about these effect recommendations or cultural resource studies for this Project in 

general, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Emily Stock, DRPT Project Manager, at (804) 591-4433 or 

via email at Emily.stock@drpt.virginia.gov, or me at (540) 899-9170 or via email at

The Virginia SHPO concurs that Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre, Burial Ground for Negros, and the 

surrounding area do not meet the criteria of a Traditional Culural Property. They also concur that 

Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre is within the APE of the DC2RVA Project (DHR #2014-0666) but Burial 

Ground for Negros is not wihtin the APE. The SHPO additionally concurs that the Preferred Alternative 

for the DC2RVA project will have no adverse effect on the Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre site 

(44HE1053), Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203), and Railroad Y.M.C.A. (127-

0344-0123). Site 44HE0357 has been removed from the APE.

The project will continue to have an overall adverse effect on historic properties.

RE: Project Eligibility and Effect- Addendum #2

Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) Project, Washington, D.C. to Richmond Segment

DHR #2014-0666

Dear Marc,

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 

(DRPT) are continuing environmental studies associated with the Tier II Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) corridor 

(Project). On June 20, 2018, the DC2RVA team submitted a summary of historic properties located in the 

Area of Potential Effects (APE) (n=118) and recommendations on project effect. This list of historic 

properties was based on three years of technical studies and correspondence and meetings with 

consulting parties. Your agency concurred with the list of historic properties and effect determinations 

in a letter dated June 28, 2018. 

Three additional consulting party meetings were concurrently held in June 2018 to discuss this list of 

historic properties and effect determinations. Based on these meetings, one additional historic property 

was added to the roster: Masons’ Hall in Richmond (127-0019). The total number of historic properties 

was revised to be 119. A revised effect determination letter was submitted on July 9, 2018 and your 

concurrence was received on July 18, 2018.

Since submitting the revised effect determination, one design change has been made to the Project. A 

three-story parking deck proposed to be constructed east of Main Street Station in Richmond has been 

removed, along with associated roadway modifications. In addition, a third round of consulting party 

meetings and associated conference calls was held in October 2018 and additional feedback on historic 

properties and effect were received. All feedback received in meetings, via email, through telephone 

calls, and as hard-copy letters has been evaluated and thoroughly discussed with the FRA, DRPT, 

Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources 

(DHR), as well as with the consulting parties. 
Page 2 

600 E. Main Street, Suite 1200

Richmond, VA 23219

Dialogues associated with the Project redesigns and extensive feedback have resulted in additional 

modifications to the list of historic properties and project effect. In sum, two related resources have 

been evaluated as a potential Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) (Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre Site 

[44HE1053] and “Burial Ground for Negros” [44HE1089]), two archaeological sites have been added to 

the list of historic properties (Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre Site [44HE1053] and Grave Yard for Free 

People of Color and Slaves [44HE1203]), one resource has been removed from the list of historic 

properties (site 44HE0357), and one resource has a recommended effect change (Railroad Y.M.C.A. 

[127-0344-0123]). Additional details on these resources are below. In total, with these changes, the 

number of historic properties in the APE has increased to 120. 

Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre site (44HE1053) and “Burial Ground for Negros” 

(44HE1089) 

The Lumpkins Jail/Devil’s Half Acre site (44HE1053) is located west of Main Street Station in Shockoe 

Bottom (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The “Burial Ground for Negros” (44HE1089) is located nearby, north of 

Broad Street and east of I-95. On July 20, 2018, the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) 

submitted a letter to DRPT stating that they believed that the two sites, as well as several to-berecorded resources, comprised a TCP representing the Richmond slave trade. Since receipt of their 

letter, FRA and DRPT have held numerous meetings with the DHR, ACHP, and consulting parties to 

evaluate this area as a potential TCP. They have also conducted extensive research and coordination on 

TCPs in general, TCPs in Virginia, and the Shockoe area as a TCP in particular, to assure that all avenues 

have been explored. According to the National Park Service (NPS), a TCP is: “a property that is eligible 

for inclusion in the National Register based on its associations with the cultural practices, traditions, 

beliefs, lifeways, arts, crafts, or social institutions of a living community. TCPs are rooted in a traditional 

community’s history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the 

community.” Data gathered as part of the TCP review has been discussed with the FRA, DRPT, ACHP, and 

DHR to solicit their input and ascertain the path forward. Based on this consultation, FRA recommends 

that the Shockoe area does not meet the definition of a TCP based on the extant information at hand 

and its interpretation of this type of resource.

Beyond considering this area as a TCP, the NTHP also requested that both Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half 

Acre and Burial Ground for Negros should be included in the APE. The APE was initially coordinated with 

the DHR in February 2015. The extent was based on the previous Richmond to Raleigh High Speed Rail 

study and included different APEs for above- and below-ground resources. Based on cultural resource 

studies, modifications to the project design, and input from consulting parties, the APE has been 

modified since that time to include resources wherein the Project has the potential to impact characterdefining features of a resource. The NTHP stated that the APE is inconsistent with Section 106 
Page 3 

600 E. Main Street, Suite 1200

Richmond, VA 23219

regulations and requested that the APE in Shockoe be enlarged to include the Lumpkin’s Jail Site 

(44HE1053) and the Burial Ground for Negros (44HE1089). 

Expansion of the APE in this area was discussed extensively with involved agencies and presented to 

consulting parties on October 12, 2018. Through these dialogues, it is recommended that the APE 

should be expanded to include the Lumpkin’s Jail Site but not the Burial Ground for Negros. Although 

numerous archaeological studies have been completed to locate the Burial Ground for Negros, no 

physical evidence of this site has yet to be uncovered. As such, the data potential and significance of this 

site is unknown, and this site is not included in the APE. Archaeological studies at Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s 

Half Acre occurred in 2006 and 2008 and features and artifacts representing Richmond’s slave trade 

were uncovered beneath over 10 feet of fill. Although the site has not received a formal eligibility 

determination from the DHR, based on numerous dialogues and meetings regarding this resource, the 

FRA and DRPT are including the site in APE and assuming eligibility of this site under Criterion A for its 

association with the slave trade industry and under Criterion D as an archaeological site for its ability to 

provide information on area history. 

In addition to examining its inclusion in the APE, FRA also evaluated the potential project effect on this 

historic property. As a resource assumed eligible under Criterion A, the applicable aspects of integrity 

that render an association with the slave trade are location, design, materials, workmanship, and 

association. None of these aspects will be altered by the current Project. While the Project may alter the 

integrity of setting and feeling of the resource due to the widening of one rail platform by approximately 

15 feet and increase in train traffic, these two aspects of integrity do not contribute to the overall 

eligibility of the site as they have been severely impacted over many years by the channeling of Shockoe 

Creek, construction of I-95, and other large-scale development and re-development in this area (Figure 3

and Figure 4). 

Regarding Criterion D, the site is located over 300 feet west of the closest project element, and no 

subsurface disturbance will occur within or near the site boundaries (see Figure 2). Regardless, FRA and 

DRPT are committed to completing archaeological monitoring and data recovery in all areas where 

subsurface construction activities for the Project are required in the vicinity of this site and Main Street 

Station. Archaeological excavations will be completed prior to construction should artifact-bearing 

deposits associated with this site, or the slave trade in general, be located in the Project’s limits of 

disturbance. Through this commitment and due to the extant diminished setting and feeling of the 

resource site, it is recommended that the Project will have no adverse effect on this resource. This 

recommendation reflects National Park Service Bulletin 36 (p. 19) regarding archaeological sites that are 

eligible under multiple criteria. Despite this recommendation, the FRA and DRPT recognize the 

importance of this site and acknowledge the history of this area, specifically as it relates to the slave 

trade. As such, the site is being considered a contributing element to the surrounding Shockoe Valley 
 

Page 4

Richmond, VA 23219

and Tobacco Row Historic District (127-0344) as part of this Project, and mitigation to the adverse 

effects on this district (as determined by your office in June 2018) will include stipulations associated 

with this significant site and its value as an important piece of Richmond’s past.

Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203)

The Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203) is located north of Hospital Street. 

The site represents a cemetery established around 1816 and in use until the mid-nineteenth century. 

The area has been repeatedly modified in the twentieth century, including the construction of a gas 

station on a portion of the lot. There is no above-ground evidence of the site. Archaeological studies to 

identify portions of the cemetery were conducted several times by the Virginia Department of 

Transportation, but no physical evidence was uncovered. Due to its presence on numerous historic 

maps, though, the resource was recorded as an archaeological site during the DC2RVA Project and 

determined to be potentially eligible for the NRHP under Criterion D; the site’s boundaries were 

determined based on historic map projections. Although the DHR concurred with DRPT’s initial eligibility 

assessment in a letter dated June 12, 2018 that the portion of the site within the APE does not 

contribute to the eligibility of this resource, FRA and DRPT have elected to include the overall site within 

the roster of historic properties based on consulting party comments. 

Using available data on the site’s boundaries, the project team reworked roadway plans in this area to 

avoid any portion of the site that may have intact soils (Figure 5). The northern limit of disturbance for 

modifications to Hospital Street was reduced to parallel the existing street cut—an area that is already 

disturbed. Through this action, the Project now avoids areas of the site with any likely potential to 

contain interments or other significant archaeological deposits. It is recommended that the Project will 

have no adverse effect on this resource. 

Site 44HE0357

Site 44HE0357 represents the archaeological remains of a late-eighteenth through nineteenth century 

privy and backyard complex. The site is located east of Main Street Station in Shockoe Bottom. The 

original effect determination was predicated on the construction of a parking deck in this area, which 

would have resulted in adverse effects to significant archaeological deposits. With the removal of the 

parking deck, this site is no longer in the APE as no construction activities are located within or near the 

site (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Railroad Y.M.C.A. (127-0344-0123)

The Railroad Y.M.C.A. (127-0344-0123) at 1552 East Main Street is a circa 1907 building constructed to 

provide recreational space for railroad workers and their families in the area. Previous plans for the 

Project included a multistory parking deck immediately to the rear of this building, which had the 

potential to diminish its integrity of setting, feeling and association resulting in an adverse effect 

determination. Due to the removal of the parking deck from project plans, no major project structural 

elements are in the general viewshed of this resource. Project plans do include addition of new 

platforms extending outward 15 feet alongside the existing rail viaduct and train shed on both the east 

and west sides of Main Street Station. These minimal changes will not diminish the characteristics that 

render this resource eligible for the NRHP (see Figure 2 for limits of disturbance in this area). As such, it 

is recommended that the Project will now have no adverse effect on this resource. 

The remainder of the effect recommendations on individual resources and the Project’s overall effect on 

historic properties presented on June 20, 2018 and July 9, 2018 remain unchanged. The attached table 

represents a full compendium of all 120 resources and effect determinations. 

We invite your agency to concur with these recommendations within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If 

you have questions about these effect recommendations or cultural resource studies for this Project in 

general, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Emily Stock, DRPT Project Manager, at (804) 591-4433 or 

via email at Emily.stock@drpt.virginia.gov, or me at (540) 899-9170 or via email at

The Virginia SHPO concurs that Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre, Burial Ground for Negros, and the 

surrounding area do not meet the criteria of a Traditional Culural Property. They also concur that 

Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre is within the APE of the DC2RVA Project (DHR #2014-0666) but Burial 

Ground for Negros is not wihtin the APE. The SHPO additionally concurs that the Preferred Alternative 

for the DC2RVA project will have no adverse effect on the Lumpkin’s Jail/Devil’s Half Acre site 

(44HE1053), Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203), and Railroad Y.M.C.A. (127-

0344-0123). Site 44HE0357 has been removed from the APE.

The project will continue to have an overall adverse effect on historic properties.
