ABSTRACT

The proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) natural gas pipeline route runs approximately 300 miles from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia. As an interstate pipeline, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will regulate the project. The project has been assigned Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) file #2014-1194. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has assigned the project Docket # PF15-3-000.

New South Associates, Inc. (New South) conducted a Phase I reconnaissance level architectural survey along the 98-mile (5,046 ac.) Virginia pipeline route, which crosses Pittsylvania, Franklin, Roanoke, Floyd, Montgomery, and Giles counties. The indirect effects Area of Potential Effects (APE) for architectural resources within Virginia is approximately 5,046 acres and includes areas of direct and indirect effects as approved by the VDHR on April 21, 2015. The goals of the architectural survey were to record resources over 50 years of age within the APE and to identify resources that appear potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) that merit Phase II intensive survey. Survey was limited to properties visible from public rights-of-way. Tetra Tech archaeological teams also provided some information to New South about historic architectural resources including structures and cemeteries that were observed by them when traversing the direct effects APE.

New South has compiled the results of the Phase I architectural reconnaissance survey in five reports organized by county. This report describes the Franklin County survey results.

The APE for historic architectural resources for Franklin County is approximately 38 miles in length and encompasses 1,849 acres. The historic architecture survey was conducted in May and June 2015. In total, New South recorded 39 architectural resources in the online database, Virginia Cultural Resources Information System (V-CRIS). Six of these resources were previously recorded and had existing VDHR site identification numbers. Thirty-three were newly recorded resources, and each was assigned a site identification number by VDHR.

Of the 39 resources recorded, New South recommends three resources (033-5304, 033-5325, and 033-5329) for Phase II study to determine NRHP eligibility. Three other resources (033-0393, 033-0010, and 080-5161) have already been listed or determined eligible for listing on NRHP and no change is recommended in the NRHP status of these resources.

This report does not include resources within the Franklin County direct effects APE between MVP mile markers 258.8 and 251.2. Results from this area will be incorporated into the final report if resources are found.

I. INTRODUCTION

New South Associates, Inc. (New South) conducted a Phase I reconnaissance level architectural survey for the Virginia segment of the Mountain Valley Pipeline under contract to Tetra Tech, Inc. on behalf of Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC. The survey, completed between May and June 2015, included survey of a 98-mile corridor through Pittsylvania, Franklin, Roanoke, Floyd, Montgomery and Giles counties. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has assigned the project Docket #PF15-3-000. The project is being reviewed under the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) file #2014-1194.

Description of Undertaking

The Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project (Project) is an interstate natural gas pipeline system that spans approximately 300 miles from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia. Because the project will require a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the undertaking is required to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended.

The Project will be constructed and owned by Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC, which is a joint venture of EQT Midstream Partners, LP; NextEra US Gas Assets, LLC; WGL Midstream; and Vega Midstream MVP LLC. EQT Midstream Partners will operate the pipeline and own a majority interest in the joint venture. The pipeline will transport natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale plays to markets in the Appalachian, Mid-, and South Atlantic regions of the United States. As currently planned, the pipeline will be 42 inches in diameter and consist of both buried and aboveground pipeline, depending on topographic and other conditions. The pipeline will require 75 feet of permanent, cleared easement. An additional 50-foot temporary easement will be required during construction.

The Virginia segment of the Project is 98 miles in length (Figure 1). The pipeline will extend the Equitrans transmission system in Wetzel County, West Virginia, to Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company’s Zone 5 compressor station 165 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

The Franklin County segment of the Project is approximately 38 miles in length (Figure 2). The pipeline begins at the Franklin/Pittsylvania County line southeast of the unincorporated community of Penhook and travels northwest to the Roanoke County line approximately 0.10 mile east of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The APE for historic architectural resources for Franklin County is approximately 38 miles in length and encompasses 1,849 acres. The survey was conducted in May and June 2015. In total, 39 architectural resources were identified during field survey and recorded in the online database, Virginia Cultural Resources Information System (V-CRIS). Six of these resources were previously recorded and had existing VDHR site identification numbers. Thirty-three (33) were newly recorded resources, and each was assigned a site identification numbers by VDHR. Maps showing resource locations are contained in Appendix A.

Area of Potential Effects

The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for historic architectural resources (including historic structures, districts, landscapes and cemeteries) consists of geographical areas where the pipeline may have direct or indirect effects. Direct effects may occur where the pipeline crosses the boundary of a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listed or eligible property. Indirect effects may occur outside NRHP boundaries but still have the potential to affect historic resources. Indirect effects include the introduction of visual, audible, or atmospheric elements that are incompatible with a resource’s historic character. In the case of the Project in Franklin County, indirect effects would primarily be visual ones, where the pipeline or cleared easement would be visible from a listed or eligible property and diminish the special qualities that qualify the resource for the NRHP.

The APE for historic architectural resources for the Project is comprised of, at a minimum, a 450-foot corridor centered on either side of the pipeline along the 98-mile Virginia route. Tetra Tech, New South, and the VDHR developed the APE at a meeting on April 21, 2015. The width was determined by adding 75 feet to either side of the 300-foot direct effects APE for archaeology. In some areas, the APE for indirect effects expands beyond 450 feet to take into account the longer viewing distances that exist at higher elevations. In the expanded areas, the APE is up to one mile on either side of the pipeline. The expanded APE is based on a view shed and elevation analysis produced by Tetra Tech, which took into account topography and current land use around the pipeline and predicted areas that were likely to have views of it (Marshall 2015). In general, the APE is narrower in the eastern counties and widens in response to topography as the pipeline travels west.

Approach

New South, Tetra Tech and the VDHR agreed upon a survey approach for the Project at the meeting in April 2015. Survey reporting would be presented by county for a total of five stand-alone reports. The first county reports were to be a Phase I, or reconnaissance, level survey reports containing a broad historical context and basic data collected for each resource over 50 years of age within the APE for historic architectural resources. The Phase I reports would identify resources that merited additional study to determine NRHP eligibility. The subsequent Phase II level survey reports would present additional information collected on potentially eligible resources and evaluate them against the NRHP Criteria.


5

New South, Tetra Tech, and VDHR agreed that resources identified during the Phase I survey would be documented according to VDHR’s Guidelines for Conducting Historic Resources Survey in Virginia. A Phase I survey is a broad visual inspection or cursory examination of historic resources in a specific geographical area, in this case the 98-mile long APE for historic architectural resources. Only exterior documentation is required in a reconnaissance-level survey; exterior photographs and site plans are made and this data is linked with an electronic V-CRIS record. Phase I level survey data is not usually sufficient to evaluate individual resources for listing in the NRHP. Phase I survey data informs subsequent work by identifying resources in need of in-depth Phase II level study. Phase I data is also used to detect resources, that while not individually eligible for the NRHP, may be component parts of larger historic districts. At VDHR’s request, New South paid close attention to resource clusters that should most appropriately be evaluated as rural historic districts.

Phase II level, or intensive survey, involves a more in-depth look at the resources recommended in the Phase I report for additional study. The Phase II level study recommends a resource's eligibility for listing in the NRHP. Intensive-level survey of buildings involves documentation of interior spaces and features. Interior photographs, adequately depicting interior spaces and important features, are required. Property-specific background research may be conducted to establish a building’s place within its historic context and to compare it with similar properties within the geographical area. Background research may include the collection of oral histories, deed research, and examining sources held in local repositories.


7

II. LITERATURE SEARCH, FIELD METHODS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

The purpose of the Phase I reconnaissance level survey was to record all properties within the APE for historic architectural resources and to make recommendations for NRHP eligibility or additional work to determine eligibility. Resources recorded include properties that are 50 years of age or older, and resources that appear to meet NRHP Criteria Consideration G, for properties less than 50 years of age.

An architectural and historic background literature search of the APE for historic architectural resources was conducted that established that Franklin County has not been comprehensively surveyed for historic architectural resources. Four resources were previously recorded within the APE for the historic architectural resources: the Cahas Mountain Historic District (033-0393; NRHP listed), the Boon-Bernard Farm (033-0010; contributing resource in the Cahas Mountain Historic District), the Blue Ridge Parkway (080-5161; determined eligible for the NRHP), and the Shaver Cemetery (033-5287; 080-5161-0340 within the Blue Ridge Parkway Historic District, contributing/non-contributing status not determined).

In addition to gathering information on previously recorded resources, the background search collected a second category of data - potential historic resources not recorded in Virginia Cultural Resources Information System (V-CRIS). Potential historic resources were identified through a review and analysis of online historical maps. Repositories consulted included the Library of Congress, the Library of Virginia, and the David Rumsey Map Collection; the Historical Map Collection, Office of Coast Survey (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration); My Topo Historical Maps; and The National Map, Historical Topographic Map Collection (Turco 2015:Appendix D). Additional potential resources were identified through a comparison of mid-twentieth-century and current U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle maps. Based on the data gathered during the literature search, Geographic Information System (GIS) field maps were generated depicting the locations of previously recorded and potential historic resources within the APE for historic architectural resources.

During the Phase I field investigation phase, New South architectural historians drove public rights-of-way to visit each resource or potential resource denoted on the literature search maps. Documentation was limited to building exteriors visible from public rights-of-way. In general, the historians worked from east to west. Extant resources were recorded in a New South generated field survey database loaded onto Motorola Model S phones. Data collected included physical descriptions, locational data, photographs, and site plans for each resource. Information collected during fieldwork was used to update existing VDHR site records and to create records for newly identified architectural resources. Printed V-CRIS database entries for each identified resource including site maps and photographs are in Appendix B. When a resource is listed or recommended as eligible for listing in the NRHP, photographs are included in the property description of this report (Appendix B).


8

Architectural historians did not enter onto private property nor did they drive down private roads. Therefore, a number of resources in each county, which were not visible from the public rights-of-way were inaccessible and the architectural history team could not confirm their presence and/or condition during the course of fieldwork. Inaccessible resources were handled in two ways: either by proxy survey, conducted by Tetra Tech’s and New South Associate’s archaeological field teams on behalf of the New South architectural historians, or desktop survey. When within the 300-foot direct effects APE, Tetra Tech’s archaeological field team observed architectural resources such as building ruins, and cemeteries; these were recorded in field notes and photography and shared with New South’s architectural history team. New South architectural historians obtained site record numbers from the VDHR, entered the data into V-CRIS, and created site records for these architectural properties that the archaeologists observed. Jointly produced site records are indicated in the “property notes” field of V-CRIS. These site files include aerial site photographs in place of sketched site plans if plans were not available.

Note: As of the writing of this report, archaeologists did not have access to the 300-foot wide archaeology survey corridor between pipeline mile markers 251 and 259 in Franklin County. Any architectural resources present within this area will be reported in the final report, or in an addendum.

New South Historians Ellen Turco, David Price, and Robbie Jones, and field assistant Caroline Bradford, conducted the fieldwork between May and June 2015. Ms. Turco served as Principal Investigator. Ms. Turco, Mr. Price, and Mr. Jones meet or exceed the standards established for Historian and Architectural Historian by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. Resumes are included in Appendix C.

NRHP Evaluation Criteria

Each of the surveyed properties was evaluated for their eligibility for listing on the NHRP. Cultural resources are evaluated based on criteria for NRHP eligibility specified in the Department of Interior Regulations 36 CFR Part 60: National Register of Historic Places. Cultural resources can be defined as significant if they “possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association,” and if they are 50 years of age or older and:

A) are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (history); or

B) are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past (person); or


9

C) embody the distinctive characteristic of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that components may lack individual distinction (architecture); or

D) have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history (archaeology).

Ordinarily, cemeteries; birthplaces or graves of historical figures; properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes; structures that have been moved from their original locations; reconstructed historic buildings; properties primarily commemorative in nature; and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years are not considered eligible for the NRHP. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts of historic districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:

Criteria Consideration A: a religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance; or

Criteria Consideration B: a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant primarily for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or

Criteria Consideration C: a birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no other appropriate site or building directly associated with his productive life; or

Criteria Consideration D: a cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves or persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or

Criteria Consideration E: a reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; or

Criteria Consideration F: a property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own historical significance; or

Criteria Consideration G: a property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.

III. HISTORIC CONTEXT

Settlement to Society (1607-1750)

Franklin County is located in the western Piedmont region of Virginia and contains 712 square miles. The county’s terrain ranges from rolling hills and valleys in the east to the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains that form its western border. The county is drained by three river systems, including the Pigg and Blackwater rivers, which flow northeast into the Roanoke River; Smith Mountain Lake on the county’s northern border; and the Smith River that flows southeast into the Dan River.

The first people of European descent to explore the area that became Franklin County arrived in 1671, led by the English explorers Thomas Batts and Robert Fallam. Batts and Fallam led an expedition commissioned by Abraham Wood with the purpose of “discovering the South Sea,” which they believed was located just beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains. They never found the South Sea, but Batts and Fallam managed to travel farther into the Virginia backcountry than any other colonists of the time. The men passed through Franklin County twice during the expedition. No other colonist explorers entered the backcountry region until a half century later when William Byrd II’s party passed through the area in the 1720s while surveying the dividing line between Virginia and North Carolina (Salmon and Salmon 1993:13, 19).

Batts and Fallam documented the existence of several Native American towns in the region, but these and others were soon pushed out by expanding English settlements and high mortality rates brought on by epidemic diseases. By the middle of the eighteenth century, most of the Native Americans were driven from the area and European settlement began. Concerned about French encroachment from the Mississippi Valley to the west, Virginia’s colonial government sought to encourage settlement of its western territories and created two new Virginia counties in 1720. Spottsylvania was created in the north and Brunswick in the south, both of which extended west to the mountains. The settlement of Brunswick, from which Franklin was eventually carved, was encouraged by the Virginia House of Burgesses through tax exemptions and the distribution of arms and ammunition for defense. Prominent colonists were granted large tracts of land that they in turn used for speculation, such as Richard Randolph of Henrico County who received over 10,000 acres in present day Franklin County (Salmon and Salmon 1993:20).

The first wave of settlement in the Franklin County area occurred in the 1740s, as English people from Maryland and the Tidewater region of Virginia moved in and claimed land. The earliest of these settlers are difficult to track in the historical records as the process of claiming land and receiving an official patent was expensive and complicated. Many settlers resorted to squatting on unclaimed land where they established subsistence farms. At the same time, Germans and Quakers from Pennsylvania moved south into the area from Pennsylvania along the Great Wagon Road into the Valley of Virginia and on to Brunswick County. These people brought


12

with them Calvinist religion and vernacular building traditions of split log buildings. The Snow Creek and Pigg River areas appear to be the first settled in the county, before the hostilities of the French and Indian War halted further settlement (Salmon and Salmon 1993:22, 27).

Colony to Nation (1751-1789)

A second wave of settlement into the county began after the end of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and continued until the Revolutionary War period. Following those before them, English immigrants and Tidewater planters moved into the area with their slaves and settled the river and creek bottoms of the area. These people of English descent brought with them cultural traditions such as the Church of England, the plantation system, African slaves, and architectural traditions of brick and wood-frame construction. They were joined by Germans and Scotch-Irish people who traveled south on the Great Wagon Road. Many in the second wave of settlement managed to officially claim patents to their land. These settlers later became the founders and first office holders of Franklin County.

The influx of new settlers in the 1760s generated a campaign to create a new county to shorten the distance people had to travel to their courthouse. Led by residents between the Blackwater and Staunton rivers, Franklin County was created in 1786 from parts of Bedford and Henry counties, which had been carved from the earlier Brunswick County. Many of the settlers hailed from Pennsylvania and the new county was named after that state’s governor at the time, Benjamin Franklin. The first county court met in January 1786 at James Callaway’s house at the Washington Iron Works, near the present town of Rocky Mount. That spring, the first log courthouse was built on land owned by Callaway near the intersection of Court and Main streets (Salmon and Salmon 1993:66).

The lack of improved transportation systems prevented the growth of agriculture beyond subsistence levels in the early period of Franklin County’s settlement. Early roads consisted of mere traces and ruts that traveled over a broken and hilly terrain. To supplement their meager farms, many landowners practiced a trade. Early tax rolls list area farmers who also operated blacksmith shops, hatters, and potteries on their property. The most significant early industry in the county was the John Donelson’s bloomer forge that manufactured iron from locally mined ore. First established in 1773, the forge was later purchased in 1779 by James Callaway and Jeremiah Early, who expanded it into the Washington Iron Works. The Washington Iron Works prospered during the Revolutionary War and by 1782 produced 25 percent of the state’s bar iron and 14 percent of the its pig iron (Salmon and Salmon 1993:22). The iron works was a prominent local landmark and served as the meeting place for the first Franklin County court. The furnace and Ironmaster’s House, known as the Farm, still stand in Rocky Mount today. The property is listed in the NRHP.


13

Early National Period (1790-1829)

Franklin County grew at a steady pace during the early national period, doubling its population by 1830. The first U.S. census in 1790 recorded 6,842 people in Franklin County, of whom 1,073 were enslaved. By 1830, the census counted a total population of 14,911, of whom nearly 5,000 were enslaved (U.S. Census Bureau 1790; 1830). This growth was driven by settlers’ quest for agricultural land to establish subsistence-level farms, with the hope that improved transportation methods would open up new markets for tobacco, Virginia’s traditional cash crop. Early farms, however, were limited to subsistence levels largely due a scarcity of labor. The 1786 land tax books listed 561 landowners who owned parcels that averaged 300 acres in size, with the majority of that land unimproved. Approximately one-quarter of the population in 1790, mostly those settlers from the Tidewater region, brought slaves with them to Franklin County. Of those, only 10 percent owned 10 or more slaves, and the slave population was 16 percent of the total population (Salmon and Salmon 1993:69). From this beginning, Franklin County’s slave population grew dramatically during the early national and antebellum periods.

Franklin County remained largely rural and agrarian in the early nineteenth century but population growth drove the establishment of new towns and villages that served as community centers for the surrounding countryside. The county seat of Rocky Mount, originally named Mount Pleasant, entered a new phase of development in 1803 after the state General Assembly forced private landowners to sell lots surrounding the courthouse to allow the establishment of new businesses. The town was divided into half-acre lots and by 1830 was known as Rocky Mount. In the same year, a new Classical Revival-style courthouse was built.

Franklin County’s transportation problems persisted well into the nineteenth century. The county engaged its own limited road construction and maintenance crews. Laborers were drawn from adjoining properties, which benefited from the road. In 1816, the state government created its first Fund for Internal Improvement, supervised by the Board of Public works. The fund invested state tax money into private companies that constructed turnpikes. Funds from this program did not arrive in Franklin County until 1838, when the Pittsylvania, Franklin, and Botetourt Turnpike was created.

Improved travel contributed to the growth of towns, commerce, and industry in Franklin County. By 1830, six ordinaries and taverns provided room and board for travelers such as Ashpone (or Webb’s) Tavern near Rocky Mount, and the Brooks-Brown House (NRHP). Itinerant peddlers continued to sell products on their rural routes, but new crossroads stores that also served as stage stops and post offices opened in the county and served as the nuclei of new communities. New towns in this period included Germantown, Wisenburgh, and Lawrence, created in 1818 as Halesborough (Salmon and Salmon 1993:24).

Domestic building methods evolved in the early nineteenth century to reflect the more permanent settlement and the rising prosperity of landowners. The remaining early log dwellings of the area were often expanded and covered with weatherboards. Frame construction slowly replaced log building techniques as sawmills were established, especially in the eastern portion of the county. The Frederick Rives House was built in the late eighteenth century and is an early example of a frame dwelling with a hall-and-parlor plan (Salmon and Salmon 1993:35).

Antebellum Period (1830-1860)

Franklin County landowners and officials prospered in the decades that preceded the Civil War, as transportation systems improved and tobacco emerged as the county’s principal cash crop. By 1860, approximately 90 percent of county land was patented and taxable, reflecting the growth in crop production and the slave labor needed for it. Between 1830 and 1860, the total population of Franklin County grew from 14,991 to 20,098. The number of enslaved people grew from 4,988 to 6,351, representing approximately 33 percent of the population. As local and regional tobacco markets expanded in Danville, Lynchburg, and Richmond, production doubled in the 1850s making Franklin County one of the leading tobacco producing counties in the state (Salmon and Salmon 1993:134–135).

Much of this growth in the three decades prior to the Civil War was due to the widespread introduction of new tobacco curing methods that produced highly desirable “bright leaf” tobacco. This development resulted in the rapid rise of Danville in adjacent Pittsylvania County as a nationally prominent tobacco production and distribution center.

After much experimentation, farmers shifted from air-drying tobacco, to drying it in barns with open-fires, to the flue-cured method in which heat was generated by enclosed furnaces (Figure 3). By applying heat to the plant instead of simply air-drying it, the process was sped up significantly. The bright leaf curing technique involved the construction of specialized ventilated curing barns. The leaves were first “primed,” or tied to “sticks” that were hung on poles that crossed the width of the barn from top to bottom. Heat was distributed by closed flues that ran across the barn floor. Early flues were typically stone or brick lined trenches cut into the dirt floor and covered with sheet iron. Later, the covered trenches were replaced with pipes. Hot air was drawn upward through the primed tobacco by a ridge vent in the roof. The flues allowed heat to radiate in an even manner which resulted in a mild tasting, light yellow product which consumers found preferable to traditional dark tobacco (Clement 1952; Ingram 2015). The process became known as “flue curing,” and it was heralded by one historian as “one of the most stupendous developments in agriculture” that Virginia ever experienced (Clement 1952). “The delicate texture of the leaf, its golden color, fragrance, and sweet flavor won instant approval and created a heavy demand both at home and abroad.” (Clement 1952).

Beginning around 1830, ventilated curing barns were built in eastern Franklin and adjacent Pittsylvania counties. These structures are still found throughout in relation to roads, fields, and other farm buildings. They were typically 16, 18, or 20 feet square, roughly 25 feet in height and built of corner notched pine or oak logs. Early barns had wood shingle roofs. Those that survive to this day, or were constructed later, typically had metal roofs and sometimes metal or weatherboard siding. A small central door on one wall accessed the interiors.

Transportation improvements in the antebellum period focused on state-chartered, privately-operated turnpike construction (Figure 4). In 1838, the Pittsylvania, Franklin, and Botetourt Turnpike, commonly called the Franklin Turnpike, was incorporated. The road stretched from Pittsylvania to Fincastle in Botetourt County connecting Franklin County farms with markets in Danville, Big Lick (later called Roanoke), and valleys to the north. The turnpike was not completed until 1841. In 1847, the Rocky Mount Turnpike Company was incorporated to build a road from Lynchburg through Rocky Mount to Floyd and eventually connect with the Southwestern Turnpike in Smyth County. These early turnpikes were a great improvement over the earlier ruts that passed for roads in the settlement era, but they often proved too expensive to build and maintain by private companies. The turnpike companies failed and the roads were abandoned and fell into disrepair as the counties assumed responsibility for them. These failures led to a shift in the 1850s to railroads to improve transportation, but the Civil War interrupted this effort (Hill Studio 1998:26).

By the 1850s, the majority of people in Franklin County remained employed in agriculture, particularly tobacco, but this era also witnessed the growth of new trades and industries. The town of Mount Pleasant grew into the political and economic center of the county with many established businesses such tailor shops, saddlers, cabinetmakers, blacksmiths, shoemakers, attorneys, and doctors. The town rose in regional prominence and by the 1830s it became known as Rocky Mount. Additional industries grew throughout the county during this time: manufacturing mills increased from nine in 1850 to 13 in 1860; tobacco factories increased from 15-16; tanneries grew from three to 11; and sawmills increased from one to 15 (Salmon and Salmon 1993:112).

Vernacular traditions continued to dominate the construction of domestic and agricultural buildings, but the prosperity of large landowners was reflected in stylish new architectural trends. The traditional I-house form was updated with the addition of wings and large porches, and the detailing of porches, doors, and cornices copied Greek Revival, Gothic-Revival, and Italianate details from widely-available pattern books. The increased availability of slave labor made brick production and construction a preferred building method (Hill Studio 1998:27).

Civil War (1861-1865)

No fighting occurred in Franklin County during the Civil War; however, the county was deeply affected by the conflict as it provided troops, food crops, and slave labor to the Confederate effort. The best known Confederate leader from Franklin County was Jubal A. Early. Early was a West Point graduate and delegate to the General Assembly who, despite his opposition to it, signed the state’s secession ordinance on April 17, 1861. He served in the Army of the Confederacy during the war and was promoted in 1862 to major general by Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Franklin County men also mustered several volunteer troop infantry and cavalry companies that served in the 24th and 57th Regiments, both of which participated in Major General George E. Pickett’s division in the Battle of Gettysburg (Salmon and Salmon 1993:263).

Franklin County financially supported the war effort through bonds, distillery taxes, and the printing of new currency. The Confederate Army also impressed slave labor for construction projects and relied on county landowners to support the families of soldiers by impressing staples like corn, wheat, flour, and cotton for distribution. Amid the strain of supporting the war effort, the county suffered some social unrest, including the arrest numerous deserters and theft or vandalism of vacant homesteads (Salmon and Salmon 1993:282–283).

Following General Lee’s surrender, Union troops arrived in Franklin County in April 1865. Union troops toured the countryside to confiscate Confederate arms and property, and visited large plantations where they announced the end of the war and freedom of the slaves (Hill Studio 1998:28).

Reconstruction and Growth (1866-1916)

The Civil War left Franklin County impoverished as land prices plummeted and the county’s slave population was freed, eliminating the primary source of labor from the agricultural economy. Former large plantations were subdivided and sold off or rented to former slaves and poor white farmers who were displaced by the economic confusion of the post-war era. The tenant and share-cropping system replaced the plantations, and by the 1870 census 50 percent of the county’s African American population was listed as farm laborers. As was the case in adjacent Pittsylvania County, the average size of tobacco farms decreased during this time (Salmon and Salmon 1993:302, 361–363).

Agriculture and transportation gradually recovered from the turmoil of the Reconstruction period. The construction of the Franklin and Pittsylvania Railroad in 1879 connected iron mines in Franklin County with those in Pittsylvania County and ushered in new economic activity and increased transportation options for farmers and merchants (Salmon and Salmon 1993:319). Franklin County continued to produce and manufacture a great deal of tobacco as commercial fertilizers increased productivity and made it possible to grow the plant in poorer soils.


19

Cigarettes rose in popularity and increased demand for the crop, giving tobacco related industries like packaging and marketing an increased role in the regional economy (Boyd 1992:14). By 1881, there were 15 tobacco factories in the county.

By the early twentieth century, farmers in Franklin County had diversified beyond tobacco to even out swings in the leaf’s market price. In the 1920s the county produced 20,000 more acres of corn than tobacco and 10,000 more of wheat. The dairy industry developed in this period as the construction of the Norfolk and Western Railroad in the 1890s opened up the county’s dairy farmers to the market in Roanoke. Shipping by rail also encouraged the planting of new fruit orchards and the emergence of the lumber industry in the county (Salmon and Salmon 1993:369, 372).

With its connection by rail to markets in Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Danville, the town of Rocky Mount developed rapidly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as did the smaller rural villages such as Union Hall, Snow Creek, Penhook, Glade Hill, Callaway, and Taylor’s Store. By 1910, the population of Franklin County included 21,045 white residents and 5,435 black residents. Farmland covered 90 percent of the county (U.S. Census Bureau 1910).

World War I to World War II (1917-1945)

Franklin County was affected by the two World Wars in the same ways as other communities throughout Virginia and the nation. World War I began in Europe in 1914 and a total of 591 Franklin County men went oversees to serve in the fight. During World War II, 1,852 men from the county registered for the draft by May 1942. Franklin County rationed food and other commodities during both conflicts and started local American Red Cross chapters to contribute support war relief funds. German and Italian prisoners of war were housed in the county in former Civilian Conservation Corps camp in adjacent Pittsylvania County, but were soon used as laborers by farmers in Franklin County (Salmon and Salmon 1993:423, 429).

The most significant development for county residents during the interwar period was the introduction of the automobile and paved roads. The Rocky Mount Motor Company first offered Ford cars in 1916. Improved transportation hastened agricultural and industrial development as farmers and mills increased their ability to move products to market. Empowered with his own car or truck, the tobacco farmer could now load his own harvest and transport it himself to markets in Danville, Lynchburg, or Roanoke, and drive back to his home the same day. The tobacco industry reached a peak during the war period as cigarettes continued to gain in popularity. In 1944, the Rocky Mount tobacco market was second in the state in production, topped only by Danville (Salmon and Salmon 1993:370–371).


20

The New Dominion (1946-Present)

Tobacco farming and diversified agriculture continued to characterize much of Franklin County’s economy and landscape in the post-World War II era, though significant changes in settlement patterns occurred with the impoundment of the county’s two lakes in the 1940s and 1960s. Congress authorized the damming of the Smith River and creation of Philpott Lake along the county’s southern boundary in 1944. The lake covered 10,000 acres in Franklin, Henry, and Patrick counties for the purpose of flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began construction in 1948 and flood control was achieved in 1951. Full hydroelectric power generation was completed by 1953 (Hill Studio 1998:34).

Smith Mountain Lake was built on the Roanoke River along the county’s northern border between 1960 and 1966 to produce electrical power. The 20,600-acre lake is 40 miles long and has over 500 miles of shoreline in Franklin, Bedford, and Pittsylvania counties. The area around the lake has experienced considerable transition from agricultural uses to residential and commercial development for commuters to nearby cities like Roanoke, as well retirees and second homes for prosperous non-residents (Salmon and Salmon 1993:458).

IV. RESULTS OF THE PHASE I SURVEY

Description of APE

Franklin County is located in southwestern Virginia in the Blue Ridge foothills region of the Piedmont physiographic province. It contains 712 square miles and is characterized by a broad rolling topography in the east and central sections and the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west. The county is drained by three river systems, including the Pigg and Blackwater rivers, which flow northeast into the Roanoke River and Smith Mountain Lake on the county’s northern border, and the Smith River that flows southeast into the Dan River. U.S. Highway 220 (U.S. 220) runs north to south through the center of the county, passing through the county seat of Rocky Mount as well as the towns of Wirtz and Boones Mill.

The physical setting of the APE for historic architectural resources in Franklin County changes considerably from the rolling agricultural lands in the east to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west. The broad uplands of the eastern part of the county contain a variety of large and small farms that raise livestock, tobacco, dairy, wheat, and other crops. Small crossroads villages such as Penhook, Glade Hill, and Redwood serve as community centers for the surrounding rural areas and often feature clusters of homes, stores, churches, and schools. Individual farmsteads in the area typically include a main house and outbuildings such as barns and sheds, and often small family cemeteries, surrounded by agricultural fields and woodlands. One of the county’s most distinctive agricultural building types is the tobacco barn, located throughout the eastern part of the county. Used to cure the county’s famous “bright leaf” tobacco through the gradual application of heat, the barns typically feature log construction, a metal gable roof with ventilation flues, stone foundations, and a shed-roof extension on one side where workers prepared tobacco for curing.

Cahas Mountain Rural Historic District Route 613 at U.S. 220, Boones Mill, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-0393

The pipeline follows the southern boundary of the Cahas Mountain Rural Historic District (Figure 5; see Appendix A, Maps 14 and 15). The district encompasses approximately 1,450 acres of valley and mountain land in the Blue Ridge Mountains of north-central Franklin County, Virginia. Maggodee Creek, a tributary of the Staunton (Roanoke) River, crosses the district near its northern end. The alluvial fields and rolling upland on each side of the creek are used for fruit and row crop production and pasturage, and it is at these lower elevations (between 1,200 and 1,400 feet) that most of the district's historic residences are located. The district's south end is bounded by the ridge of Cahas Mountain, which rises to a height of 3,571 feet. Here, the topography is mountainous and forested, with apple orchards occupying the lower mountain spurs. U.S. 220 and the Norfolk Southern Railway skirt the district at its northeast corner. State routes 613 and 614 cross the north end of the district, as does the trace of the eighteenth-century Carolina Road. The district boundaries follow property lines, jurisdictional boundaries, and natural and man-made features such as ridgelines, watercourses, and roads.

The Cahas Mountain Rural Historic District is comprised of four farms that together contain 51 contributing resources and 35 non-contributing resources. The earliest and largest of these farms is the Boon-Bernard Farm (033-0010, which is the only resource within the APE and was documented for this report. The other three farms include the Boon-Garst Farm, the Washington and Rinda Boon Farm, and the Taylor-Price Farm. These farms are outside the APE and not recorded as part of this project. They were field inspected and do not appear to have changed significantly since the district was listed in the NRHP. The district is listed in the NRHP under Criteria A and C in the areas of Agriculture, Architecture, Commerce, and Transportation. It has a period of significance from circa 1750 to 1945. The district is also listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR).

Boon-Bernard Farm 55 Farmgate Lane, Boones Mill, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-0010

The Boon-Bernard Farm is the largest group of domestic and agricultural resources located within the 1,450-acre Cahas Mountain Rural Historic District (033-0393) (Figure 6; Photograph 1; see Appendix A, Map 14). A portion of the farm lies within the APE for historic architectural resources, but none of its buildings are within the APE. The principal resource on the farm is the 1820 John and Susan Boon House, a Federal two-story brick dwelling with a single-pile center-passage plan, a one-story dining room ell, and a (formerly) detached one-story kitchen now joined to the house by frame infill dating to the mid-1800s. Notable features include Flemish-bond brickwork, jack-arched nine-over-nine and six-over-six double-hung windows, and Federal mantels.

Adjacent to the John and Susan Boon House are an early frame meat house, historic and modern landscape features, and an extensive farm complex. Two farm buildings of note are an antebellum V-notched log granary and a 1917 frame barn with original metal siding and two sets of hay forks. To the south of the main house and farm complex (outside the Project APE for historic architectural resources) stand three tenant houses.

The Boon-Bernard Farm is a contributing resource in the NRHP-listed Cahas Mountain Rural Historic District and has been recommended individually eligible to the NRHP.

House 18210 Callaway Road (Route 602), Callaway, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-0185

This house with outbuildings is located on a 233-acre parcel on the north side of Callaway Road, less than one-half mile east of the Roanoke County line (see Appendix A, Map 18). The house faces south and is bordered on the north by a wooded hillside and on the south by a large lawn with a pond. It is a circa 1890 I-house with a side-gable asphalt shingle roof, a vinyl or aluminum exterior, and a continuous brick foundation. It has a three-bay façade and central entrance with side and transom lights covered by a one story partial width shed entrance porch. The house has original double hung two-over-two wood sash windows and two exterior end, shouldered brick chimneys. There is a two-light front gable dormer on the roof. Outbuildings include a wood frame garage with a metal shed roof and a second smaller concrete block shed with a metal gable roof.

The installation of vinyl siding and windows has eroded the integrity of the dwelling. The outbuildings are not significant examples of any particular outbuilding type or building technique. Due to the lack of integrity of the primary resource and the lack of distinction among the outbuildings, the resource is recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A, B, or C.

House 56 Signal Hill Drive, Callaway, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-0194

This circa 1890 Folk Victorian house is located on a 108-acre parcel at the northeast corner of the intersection at Signal Hill Drive and Callaway Road (see Appendix A, Map 18). The house faces south and is bordered on the north by a steep wooded hillside. It is a one-story gable-front-and-wing type dwelling with a metal roof with a stuccoed interior chimney and synthetic siding. The foundation is not visible. It has a partial-width front porch supported by replacement metal posts, and a side shed addition covered with German siding. The house has replacement vinyl windows throughout. Outbuildings include a metal-covered gabled garage and a metal Quonset hut.

This house is a common Folk Victorian type that has been altered with synthetic siding and replacement windows. It does not possess architectural or historical significance and has low integrity. The resource is recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A, B, or C.

Webster House Wades Gap Road (Route 726), Callaway, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-5280

Located on the east side of Wades Gap Road (Route 726) and facing west, this circa 1900 two-story vernacular I-house features side gable metal roof, vinyl siding, an exterior end shouldered chimney built of common bond brick, and a continuous stone foundation (see Appendix A, Map 16). A single-story, gable-roofed ell with an engaged side porch extends from the rear elevation. The main entry of the frame house is protected by a single-story, partial-width, hipped-roof porch supported by circular columns on a stone pier foundation. The house has replacement one-over-one vinyl sash windows and original sidelights flank the main entrance.

Located along a creek running parallel to the main road, the 91-acre parcel features a large modern open-air equipment shelter north of the house, a frame shed with vertical board siding at the rear, and a modern children’s playground south of the house. The Webster family cemetery is situated in a field north of the house. Containing approximately three marble headstones, the cemetery is surrounded by a modern chain link fence. The property is owned by the Monte Vista Brethen Church.

The resource is a typical example of a turn-of-the-twentieth-century vernacular farmhouse that lacks distinctive architecture. The vinyl siding and replacement windows have eroded the dwelling’s historic integrity. The resource is recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A, B, or C.

Blue Ridge Parkway Historic District, Blue Ridge Parkway (Route 612), Roanoke, Franklin, and Floyd Counties

VDHR No. 080-5161

Located at the point where Roanoke, Franklin, and Floyd counties meet, the Blue Ridge Parkway Historic District, spans an approximately 1.4-mile section of the APE for historic architectural resources (Figure 7; see Appendix A, Map 18). The 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway stands as the zenith of national parkways designed by the National Park Service (NPS) and a masterwork of engineering and landscape architectural design of extraordinary scope, scale, and planning. Built between 1935 and 1987, the parkway embodies the evolution of NPS management practices and goals over five decades and pioneered a new recreational concept, the long-distance scenic rural parkway, in which designers expanded earlier parkway development strategies to a regional scale.

As an essential part of the park-to-park movement, the parkway links the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks in North Carolina. It is an exemplary expression of the principles and practices of NPS road design, landscape naturalization, rustic architectural design, engineering, and conservation. The parkway was conceived as a multiple-purpose corridor that would fulfill a variety of social, recreational, environmental, and pragmatic functions. In addition to preserving and showcasing attractive

At frequent intervals, the parkway borders expand to encompass smaller parks, provide breath-taking overlooks, recreational areas, and historic sites.

Within the portion of the district boundary in the APE are two individually recorded resources: the Shaver Cemetery (080-5161-0430/033-5287), which the NPS has not evaluated to determine if it contributes to the district, and the Retail Store (080-5161-0342), which the NPS has determined is a non-contributing resource in district. New South concurs with these recommendations.

This resource is an approximately 1.4-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway Historic District (080-5161), which in 2008 the NPS and VDHR determined eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and C.

Clear View Dairy Farm 452 Listening Hill Road (Route 658), Penhook, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-5304

The Clear View Dairy Farm is located on a 139-acre parcel on the west side of Listening Hill Road (Figure 8; see Appendix A, Map 2). The farmstead contains a main house and approximately 12 outbuildings, which online tax records list as loafing sheds, a milking parlor, gable roof barns, silos, a calf barn, pole sheds, and a tobacco barn. The main house faces east and the outbuildings are clustered downhill from the house in the rear (west) yard. The farmstead is surrounded by pastures and woodlands.

The main house is a two-story I-house with a side-gable roof, stone veneer siding, and a concrete block foundation (Photograph 4). Online tax records and an interview with the owner indicate the house was built in 1935, but its form suggests a possible earlier date of construction. A rear gable-roof ell gives the house a T-shaped floor plan. It has three interior brick chimneys. There is a partially enclosed partial-width front porch with square columns. The windows appear to be modern vinyl replacements.

Only four of the farmstead’s outbuildings are clearly visible from the right-of-way. The first is a one-story, front-gable building of unknown use (possible kitchen/guesthouse) with stone veneer. Immediately west of the main house and kitchen is a two-story gable-roof barn with three bays on the south elevation (Photograph 5). Finally, there is a gable-roof hay barn southwest of the house. Aerial imagery shows a variety of other gable-roof barns in the rear west yard but their construction details are unknown. All barns and outbuildings appear to be in good condition.

This resource appears to be a well-preserved example of an early to mid-twentieth-century dairy farm complex. Dairy farming was an important economic driver during the Reconstruction and Growth period as farmers diversified their operations. Due to the number of ancillary resources on the property that were not visible from the public right-of-way and that were not documented, New South Associates recommends further research and an intensive survey to make a NRHP eligibility determination for this property.

Located on an 80-acre parcel on the south side of Old Franklin Turnpike (Route 40) at the intersection with Brooks Mill Road (Route 834), this property contains three twentieth-century ruins: a house ruin, a stone tobacco barn foundation, and a shed ruin (see Appendix A, Map 4). The house ruin consists of a standing stone chimney, stone piers, and hand-hewn, notched timber beams. An ell is indicated by foundation stones and the remains of a second chimney. The tobacco barn foundation consists of an uncut stone foundation with a furnace opening. The shed ruin is a log structure with an intact roof with metal over skip sheathing and weatherboarded gable ends This resource is not accessible from the public right-of-way and was documented by Tetra Tech during the archaeological survey.

The resource consists of the ruins of three buildings. The buildings do not possess enough physical integrity for evaluation under NRHP Criteria A, B, or C.

Tobacco Barn Ruins, 955 Greenway Road (Route 704), Glade Hill, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-5343

Located on a 66-acre parcel on the north side of Greenway Road (Route 704) at the intersection with Farm View Road (Route 702), this resource is the ruins of a circa 1900 log tobacco barn (see Appendix A, Map 7). Surrounded by wooded land and agricultural fields, the abandoned barn features a metal gable roof, hand-hewn log walls, and a fieldstone foundation. The log walls of the barn appear to have been removed and salvaged, leaving only the log roof structure extant and the barn repurposed into a shed. The resource is not accessible from the public right-of-way and was documented by Tetra Tech during the archaeological survey.

The resource consists of the ruin of a log tobacco barn that lacks distinctive architecture and historic integrity. The resource is recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A, B, or C.

Stone Terraces, 495 Signal Hill Drive, Callaway, Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-5344/44FR369

This resource is a series of erosion prevention terraces made from dry-stacked fieldstones and boulders (see Appendix A, Map 18). The six terraces are oriented roughly north-south and measure approximately five feet in width and between 11 feet and 85 feet in length. The date of construction is unknown. The terraces are remotely located on the eastern edge of a wooded and rocky hilltop approximately 0.6 mile northeast of Callaway Road (Route 602) and 0.7 mile east of the Blue Ridge Parkway (Route 612) along Roanoke County line. The 13-acre parcel also features a modern dwelling constructed in 2008 and is adjacent to VDHR No. 033-5345/44FR369. The resource is not accessible from the public right-of-way and was documented by New South Associates during the archaeological survey.

This resource appears to be an example of vernacular erosion prevention terraces constructed of dry-stacked fieldstones. It does not appear to be associated with a larger farm complex with historic or architectural significance and it does not possess these qualities individually. The resource is recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A, B, or C.

Log Building Ruin & Pavilion, Signal Hill Drive, Callaway Franklin County

VDHR No. 033-5345/44FR369

This resource is the collapsed ruin of an isolated vernacular log building located along a stream surrounded by mountainous woodlands (see Appendix A, Map 18). The rectangular building features log walls with half-dovetail notching and the collapsed remains of a stone chimney and metal roof. The second structure is an open-air pavilion constructed with log posts supporting a metal shed roof made of circular sawn structural components. Under the pavilion is a stone-lined natural spring, a bench, and a picnic table. The log building ruin likely dates from circa 1900 while the pavilion appears to be modern. The site also features a modern fire pit. The site is located approximately 0.5 mile northeast of Callaway Road (Route 602) and 0.6 mile east of the Blue Ridge Parkway (Route 612) along the Roanoke County line. The site is located on a 43–acre parcel adjacent to VDHR No. 033-5344/44FR369. The resource is not accessible from the public right-of-way and was documented by New South Associates during the archaeological survey.

This resource is the collapsed ruin of a circa 1900 log building and a modern picnic pavilion. It does not possess architectural or historical significance and has low integrity. The resource is recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria, A, B, or C.

V. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In total, 33 newly surveyed historic resources and six previously recorded historic resources were recorded within the Mountain Valley Pipeline architectural resources APE in Franklin County (033-0185, 033-0194, 033-0393, 033-0010, 033-5280 and 033-5287). Of the 39 resources recorded, New South recommends three resources (033-5304, 033-5325, and 033-5329) for Phase II study to determine NRHP eligibility. Three resources (033-0393, 033-0010, and 080-5161) have already been listed or determined eligible for listing in the NRHP, and no change is recommended in the NRHP status of these resources.
