BY MARY LOU WERNER

No fable of overnight riches
has more drama than the real
life story behind the new SIS
million Seven Corners shopping
center in Fairfax County.
The freed slave who toiled to
care for his family. his dreams
of the future, a sudden stroke of
riches and a missing heir who re-
appeared after 40 years are all
part of the fabulous Seven
Corners yarn.
The 25-acre site where the
magnificent new center stands
today used to be the farm Of
Frederick Foote, ST..
He was born a slave in 1900
on the Fitzhugh family farm,
Ravensworth, located in a Sec
ton Of Fairfax County now
known as Annandale. His moth
er was a cook in the Fitzhugh
Kitchen. She used TO tell her
children about the times she
cooked for "the general" George
Washington when he visited
Ravensworth.
Fred Foote, as he was known
whereabouts, was an industrious
worker and often was leased
by neighboring farmers wher
they needed extra help.
Dreamed Of Owning Land
Once while working on the
Miner farm just outside Fails
Church. Fred Foote saw a gently
sloping parcel Of land thai
looked good TO him. He dreamed
Of having some land like that fol
his very own some day.
When the Civil War came
Fred Foote worked as a black.
smith for Union troops. Tit

land Fred Foote wanted. HI

Shopping Center Is Sign
Of Areas Great Growth
By AL ALIBRANno

The opening of the Seven Corners Shopping Center
fax County is dramatic indication of the dynamic growth of
population and business in Northern Virginia.

is Tax Boon

The new Seven Corners Shop
ping Center is a tax plum, cheer
fully welcome in Fairfax County
and GENEROUSLY eyed by nearby
communities.
Fairfax County expects to COL
Ilect in the neighborhood of
I$l25, 900 in real estate taxes from
the center next year--its first
full year Of assessment.
In addition, each store will
be billed for personal property
taxes on furnishings and equip
ment.
It is a tax bonanza the county
has been eagerly awaiting and
with an eye to the future in the
event a State-local sales tax is
adopted in Virginia.
Other Areas Interested
Without big shopping dis
Itrict like Seven Corners, Fairfax
County wouldn't benefit much
from a combined State-local
sales tax.
But the eyes of other COM
munities already are lingering
fondly on the big shopping COM
munity.
Located close as it is to the
boundaries of Falls Church, Ar
lington., and even Alexandria,
Seven Corners is apt TO become
the target Of annexation by any
one of the three
Falls Church already is talking
about ennexation. City officials
say their present plans are not
in the direction Of Seven Cor
ners. but the development Of
business there might be too
much Of a temptation for the
city to ignore.
Arlington in Picture
Arlington at present Is a
county, and is not in a position
10 annex. But there has been
recurring talk Of Arlington be-
coming a city. II 1t does. an
annexation suit TO acquire Seven
Corners is a possibility.
/ Alexandria is about three miles
away from Seven Corners. but
didn't hesitate to go that far IN
1 its last annexation suit against
Fairfax County.
! Arlington, Alexandria and
Falls Church all have business
license taxes. Fairfax doesn't
have a license tax law YET. but
the chances are 1t will before
too long with 30 much 20 be
earned from a shopping center
like Seven Corners.

signers chose this architecture
because they felt it would best
blend with the Virginia country
side.
Has Long PrOmenades
The 600-foot central section of
the shopping center is built on
two levels-one off Leesburg pike
and a lower level of Arlington
boulevard. On each level is a
promenade extending from Julius
Garfinckel & Co. on the west to
Woodward and Lothrop on the
east.
AS the shopper walks along
the promenades, he has shops
both on the right and left. A two
way escalator about midway
takes shoppers from one level to
the other.
Shoppers indicated they
desired food and automotive cen
tiers in separate units. These CEN
tiers are on the Arlh gtJn
boulevard side Of the shopping
center.
The area around the three
units is paved with asphaltic
materials and provides parking
for about $500 cars.
| In addition to the large stores
at each end of the center, the
main section has space for about
40 other stores and shops.
The new center is just few
hundred yards from Arlington
County and the city of Falls
Church, and only about three
miles from the Alexandria city
limits.

Woodward and Lothrop. other
