This deal is still under the radar and if more Richmonders were aware of what is proposed, it would not stand a chance. <br /><br />I live in Church Hill and everyone that I've spoken to about this development in the neighborhood and at my work place was not aware of it. <br /><br />I hope the development does not happen however if this is the best we can do to bring this to the attention of the people, we can kiss the view good bye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290386897588765199.post-32044768990286062082014-07-12T11:11:24.860-04:002014-07-12T11:11:24.860-04:00As a long time resident of Richmond, I am horrifie...As a long time resident of Richmond, I am horrified that any building projects would be allowed on this iconic park. Once again, Richmond stands out in Virginia as the one place that cultural resources are only things to be exploited and destroyed for profit. Is it any wonder that most of the entertainment projects in the city fail (think Tredagar,Main Street Station, 6th Street Marketplace, etc.)?

They were told, by those wanting to sell, that if they did not go along with the deal, they would end up having to pay the capital gains tax. They were also mislead to think the individual contracts sent to them were legal. They were not and were contrary to the bylaws of the co-op. Hillwood's bylaws stipulate that the co-op can only be sold whole, after the membership votes to sell. <br /><br />Pat H., Member since 1950Pat H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290386897588765199.post-26805564902632607282012-08-01T04:13:54.122-04:002012-08-01T04:13:54.122-04:00Hey there Sonja, those were sure nice captures of ...Hey there Sonja, those were sure nice captures of barns, the tobacco barns just perfectly look different but beautiful, I've never seen one of that type before, and I was really hoping someday to see and visit one.

This is not saying they did not tack some sort of fly screening to the windows, but we do not have any evidence of it in existence today.

The drawing of the fort dates also from 1884 and was made by a man who does not appear in records in Abingdon until the census of 1884. He stated in a letter that only one other person knew the story until he told it. The name of Abingdon does not come from Martha Washington's ancestral home. Her family (Dandridge)had no connection with Abingdon Parish in Virginia or Abingdon, England. I am writing a new history of the county.<br />James W.
