Brick House Beautiful
Brick House Beautiful is a house located in northeast Portland, Oregon listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Wilson-Wodrow-Mytinger House
The Wilson- Wodrow- Mytinger House is believed to be the oldest house in Romney and the oldest public office building in the U.S. state of West Virginia.
An assemblage of three separate buildings— a kitchen, a dwelling and an office—the Mytinger House, as it is commonly known, was built during colonial times probably dating from the 1740s to the 1780s, although there are no records to indicate the exact dates.
According to records in the Hampshire County Courthouse, Colonel George Wilson received a patent on this property from Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron in 1763.
George Wilson was a major in the Hampshire County Militia during the French and Indian War and was praised by George Washington for his zeal and bravery.
Wilson was also the leader in whipping up sentiment for the Revolution and became Lieutenant Colonel in the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment.
He died during the long march the Pennsylvanians made in late winter, 1777, to join Washington in New Jersey.
Wilson's daughter, Mary Ann, married another patriot, Andrew Wodrow.
Wodrow had set up a thriving import business in the 1770s, but threw over his business rather than handle English goods.
He put his stock of goods up for public auction and sent the profits to Boston to aid patriots there.
He then became the clerk of the Revolutionary Committee in King George County, Virginia.
In 1782, Wodrow was assigned by the new Commonwealth of Virginia to come to Hampshire County to take over authority as Clerk of the Court from Fairfax's man.
He remained in that position until his death in 1814.
It was during this time that he built the office; and he went to great expense to add beauty and dignity to this building, which is still evident today.
Gone now from the property is the old log house where George Washington spent the night on October 9, 1770, during his last visit to Romney.
The architecture of the three remaining buildings is representative of a time period spanning much of the early history and development of Romney.
The architectural style and construction of the dwelling( second house) is very much like examples found in sections of Tidewater Maryland, that date about 1730.
Whatever its origins, the building would have been an expensive and pretentious structure for the area and time.
The half- timbered construction with brick nogging, the double brick chimneys with connecting pent, and the medieval floor plan are features not associated with what is now West Virginia.
Wodrow's office is considered to be the oldest office in the state used as a public office.
It is outstanding today for its paneled walls and woodwork that are reminiscent of a style prevalent in Williamsburg.
The building must have been most impressive to the people of Hampshire County in the 1780s.
For the next 170 years the property was owned by such people as John McDowell, Wodrow's son -in- law; Dr. McClintoch, one of Romney's first physicians; the Mytinger family, in whose hands the property remained for 100 years; Manning Williams, who was responsible for the restoration work; the Herbert Stelling family; and is now owned by Tom Stump, Lowell Hott, and Dottie Eddis.
Taggart Hall
Taggart Hall is a late 18th- century residence that currently houses the Fort Mill Ridge Foundation and its Fort Mill Ridge Civil War Trenches museum, the Hampshire County Visitors Bureau, and the Hampshire County Chamber of Commerce.
It is located in Romney, West Virginia, at 91 South High Street.
Nextdoor to Taggart Hall on Gravel Lane stands Romney's oldest structure, the Wilson- Wodrow- Mytinger House( c. 1760).
Taggart Hall was constructed in the 1790s by Frances Taggart( Tygart), a Quaker, on a lot at the corner of High Street and Gravel Lane laid out in the original Romney survey conducted in 1762 on behalf of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron.
Taggart Hall was originally built as a clapboard" half- house".
The original eighteenth- century structure has been expanded to accommodate the Fort Mill Ridge Foundation, the Hampshire County Visitors Bureau, and the Hampshire County Chamber of Commerce.
Neighborhood House
The Neighborhood House, located in southwest Portland, Oregon, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Albright and Wilson
Albright and Wilson was founded in 1856 as a United Kingdom manufacturer of potassium chlorate and white phosphorus for the match industry.
For much of its first 100 years of existence, phosphorus- derived chemicals formed the majority of its products.
It was set up as a partnership between two Quakers, Arthur Albright, and John Edward Wilson.
It became a private limited company, Albright& Wilson Ltd, in 1892; and it remained a double family- owned firm, for nearly 100 years, until 5 March 1948, when it became a public company.
Albright and Wilson expanded considerably into silicones, detergents, food additives, metal finishing chemicals, strontium based chemicals and chromium based chemicals.
It was the second largest chemical manufacturer in the United Kingdom; although it was always very much smaller than ICI.
In 1971 Tenneco bought a part of Albright and Wilson's share holdings; and in 1978 obtained full ownership.
In the short term, the company retained its own identity; however many of its subsidiaries were sold off.
In 1995, Tenneco divested many of its assets; and parts of the original core of Albright and Wilson were transferred into a new public company, Albright and Wilson Plc which was floated on the stock market, in February of that year.
However, just four years later, following disappointing results, the French chemical company Rhodia acquired Albright and Wilson in March 2000 and the century- and- a- half old name finally disappeared except in India, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines.
Parts of the original Albright and Wilson company are now owned by the Huntsman Corporation.
After a large fire at its Avonmouth plant in 1996, which caused the temporary closure of local motorways and rail services, Albright and Wilson were fined £ 60,000.
Andrew Wodrow
Andrew Wodrow( 1752–1814) was a prominent Scottish American merchant, militia officer, clerk of court, lawyer, and landowner in the colony( and later U.S. state) of Virginia.
Wodrow was born in Scotland in 1752 and immigrated to Virginia in 1768.
In Fredericksburg, he engaged in a thriving import business.
Following the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, Wodrow placed his entire inventory up for public auction and contributed the profits to the American Revolutionary patriot cause.
During the war, Wodrow served as a lieutenant colonel in command of cavalry in the Continental Army.
Wodrow was the first resident clerk of court for Hampshire County, Virginia( now West Virginia), a position in which he served for a tenure lasting 32 years( 1782–1814).
There, Wodrow served in the position of major in the Hampshire County militia.
In addition, he represented Hampshire County at the Virginia Ratifying Convention, held to ratify the United States Constitution in 1788.
He was appointed by the Virginia General Assembly as a trustee of the towns of Romney and Watson Town( present- day Capon Springs).
Wodrow amassed numerous properties which included landholdings along the Cacapon River and the Wilson- Wodrow- Mytinger House in Romney, and became a prosperous landholder in Hampshire County.
