LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Greetings to all fellow Church Hillians!
As I write this, I sit with a calm sense that the worst of winter is behind us, and Spring is soon to appear. First
off, let me express my profound thanks and gratitude to all who made my first General Membership meeting as
presiding officer a success. We did meet in the midst of a Blizzard, had a full house, and got valuable work done.
I am writing this shortly before the second meeting at which I will preside, and can only hope for a similar turn
out and response.
As many of you know, my passion is as a vineyardist and winemaker, and I see a parallel between our Association
work this winter to the work that is now going on in the vineyard. The grape vines are currently dormant, and
we are working on two major projects. The first is constructing the trellis for the new vines, giving them the
supporting structure upon which they will spread and grow. The second effort is dormant pruning where we
cut off most of the previous year’s growth to allow the vines to grow and bear fruit in the Spring and Summer.
I am happy to report that your CHA Board, along with a cadre of Association Members has been similarly involved
in creating new structure, and pruning back the old to allow new growth to flourish. We have a number of new
initiatives as well as revamped old efforts, and we value everyone’s participation.
Our Community Outreach Committees are formed with the concept of one hour per month of community
service. We live in a community of tremendous talent and diversity. If you have not already done so, please
sign up for a committee and be involved.
Some of our ongoing efforts (in no particular order) are as follows. The Infrastructure Committee is going to
sponsor a Community Infrastructure Assessment Day on Saturday, April 5. We will meet at Libby Hill Park,
and walk the neighborhood in order to document infrastructure deficiencies. We will take photos with our cell
phones, text them to a central location as well as to the city, so we can develop a comprehensive inventory
of our infrastructure needs. These include items like broken sidewalks, potholes, clogged street drains, dead
trees, abandoned buildings in poor repair. Stay tuned for more on this effort, and join your neighbors for a
productive walk through the neighborhood on April 5.
Our Block Captain Program is being awoken from its nascent state and being reconfigured into a welcome
service for new residents to make them familiar with community resources. Stay tuned for more details as the
program develops.
Our Schools Committee has been reformulated to allow interface with all Schools in Church Hill. We have
always given financial support to the schools, and want to be familiar with School needs and how we can make
a difference.
The Social and Civic Committee is charged with community outreach and supplementing our program of
summer picnics. We will be partnering with Replenish Richmond in order to support Richmond Day on May
24. Please join us on that Saturday for a day of picnicking in Libby Hill Park, admiring the view for which we are
named, and participating in cheers for Richmond.
We have a liaison committee with Richmond Viewshed Advocates, and are supportive of efforts to protect
the uniqueness that is Church Hill. It is both a privilege and responsibility to live in an historic area. As our
predecessors a generation ago fought to maintain the historic character of our neighborhood, we must today
be vigilant so that our namesake viewshed is not lost to those who would destroy it forever for a quick profit.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
The Outreach Committee attends the meetings of other, nearby, community organizations so that we can learn
of their needs, and pool resources to combat common problems. We are all neighbors here, and not bound by
artificial boundaries.
The Roads, Traffic and Parking Committee is actively looking at how we get around in our neighborhood to
make certain that we have appropriate speed limits, roadways, signage and parking. We will be looking at
bicycle routes through the neighborhood to enhance cycle commuting and recreational cycling. We will be
the epicenter of the bicycling world for the Word Cycling Championship in 2015, and we want to be prepared.
The Bylaws Committee is engaging in a comprehensive review and rewrite of our Bylaws, which, frankly, are
a confusing patchwork that has been created over many years. We are looking to create a document that will
allow our organization to be nimble and active while protective of everyone’s voice.
The Communication Committee is exploring ways to allow us to have more immediate outreach to all members.
As you can see, we have a lot on our plate. I see these efforts as being true community outreach and development
efforts. Please let us know what needs attention, and even more importantly, be prepared to be involved in the
process of finding solutions to problems.
Everyone have a great start to Spring. Stay tuned for more to come! Remember that this is the Church Hill
Association’s 50th Anniversary Year. We are putting our effort into growing our community, so that we can reap
Thank
to Church
a successful harvest in the Fall and celebrate in time

Better Block Community Walk
I am writing to inform you of a very exciting development coming to the East End this summer called the North
Church Hill Better Block Project, and to ask for your participation. There have been hundreds of Better Block projects
all across the world in the last few years, and we are very fortunate to have the opportunity to bring this experience
to Richmond in June of this year.
The Better Block project is designed to build on the success of existing businesses, historical structures, and previous
planning processes to transform a city block into a walkable, bikeable place for everyone to enjoy, complete with
“pop-up” businesses and comfortable gathering spaces. This transformation is temporary in nature with a focus on
what can be made more permanent in the near future.
The North Church Hill Better Block Project must be a community partnership if it’s going to be successful, and it takes
several months of planning with everyone on board. Though we have partners – Bon Secours, the City of Richmond,
and the Sports Backers – the process has not officially started yet, and we want you to be involved from the start.
Please join us for our kick-off Community Walk + Talk with Team Better Block on the evening of Wednesday, March
12. We’ll meet at 6 PM at the corner of North 25th and Venable Streets for a community walk-through of the project
area, followed by a presentation and community discussion at the Robinson Theater at 7:15 PM.
I hope you can join us on March 12. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly with any questions.
Sincerely,
Max Hepp-Buchanan

Dear Neighbors,
Please join us the weekend of March 22 and 23, as we celebrate the 29th Annual St. Patrick Irish Festival!
This is truly a Church Hill tradition as St. Patrick’s Church has been a neighbor since 1859! This celebration not only
benefits St. Patrick’s Church, but many others around us. They include St. John’s Church, The Church Hill Crime Watch,
the Church Hill Association, Richmond Hill, Child Savers, the Robinson Theater, the Salvation Army Meals Program,
LINC, several childhood disease prevention organizations, and many other area causes! Since we became a 501c3
non-profit organization in 2006, we have donated close to a half-million dollars to our community! This could not
happen without your support and hard work.
This festival is a volunteer event, and each year we work with many of you on the grill, food lines, welcome gates, and
the Guinness Truck! We thank you for your support and help! We have a satellite parking lot at 16th and East Broad
with drop off at 24th and East Broad. We hope this helps with parking in the area. The streets will be closed this year
from Friday March 21th to Sunday March 23th on East Broad and N. 25th between Grace and Marshall. The closure
will start Friday at 4 p.m. until Sunday at 9 p.m. Richmond Police will be securing our event the entire time.
Again this year, we kick-off the event with the parade on Saturday at 10 a.m. followed by great food, dancing, music
and more! On Sunday join us early for the Hill Topper 5k! If you have any questions, please call us at 804-648-2585. Or
www.churchhillirishfestival.com.
Again, thank you for helping us as we help so many in our community!
The Irish Festival is a celebration of our heritage, but is truly a community effort to help those we care about!
May God Bless You!

Remembering Larry Parker
On July 6, 2010, long time Church Hill resident, Larry Parker was stung by a bee on the Eastern Shore.
Medical attention was inadequate to save him and he died of anaphylactic shock. He was 60 years old.
Larry had lived in Church Hill for more than 30 years; he was well known and highly regarded.
I first encountered Larry’s name in the early nineties when Eileen and I were in charge of selling tickets
to the Church Hill Christmas Ball. Sales were sluggish the first few days, when we got our first table
reservation, “Parker party of eight.” That ticket order boosted our spirits. Soon tickets sold well and
everyone had a great time. Larry and his group were especially lively.
Back in the heyday of the semi-annual Alley Rallies, when we could ride on the backs of the trucks,
I often directed the South-of-Broad truck. Larry lived in the 2200 Block of East Grace Street. When
we came by Saturday morning he was always ready for us with tree cuttings and bagged leaves. He
would consolidate other people’s items to make it easier on us and to make sure nothing was missed.
I acquired a sense of the value of an orderly alley from Larry.
I grew to know Larry better when we were both members of the Church Hill Planters, which he helped
start. It was at a Planter’s meeting that I realized how close he was to our neighbor Betty Moore. In the
1970s Larry had rented the basement of the Anthony Turner House from Betty. They were fast friends
and ran in the same crowd. Larry was Betty’s go-to-guy for help decorating for events and minor
chores. I remember helping him one Saturday trim the holly trees in Reed Square that overshadowed
her grape arbor. Larry was a skilled pruner and had an unerring eye for plant forms. He was equally
skilled as an interior designer and whenever Betty’s house was open for a tour or event, Larry would
come over and make sure the interior looked its best with fresh flower arrangements and decorative
touches. A golden Christmas tree one year was remembered by all who saw it. One year, when his
own house was on the House Tour, his imaginative use of live plants and cut flowers garnered much
admiration.
No one is capable of taking on all the aesthetic challenges of Church Hill but we can work on individual
areas and have an impact. Larry felt that way about 23rd Street from East Grace to East Franklin. He
worked to keep both the street and sidewalk grass free during the summer and he was a driving force
to get the sidewalk redone. One of the first projects of the Church Hill Planters was his idea of planting
London Plane trees at the foot of Bellevue School. Both projects added to the beauty of that Church
Hill gateway.
At his memorial celebration at Shirley Plantation, hundreds of friends gathered to pay their respects,
express their grief, celebrate his life and exchange stories about Larry. Friends of Larry’s, a couple, told
the story of being on a road trip with Larry when, much to Larry’s amusement, he was mistaken for the
couple’s son. Every year thereafter the “son”, Larry, would send a father’s day card to his new “father.”
Such was Larry’s nature.
Larry Parker lived in the neighborhood for nearly 30 years. His area of Church Hill was always squared
away and his relationships in good repair. His untimely death brought shock and dismay to all who
knew him. Church Hill lost a valuable neighbor and friend that day.

CHURCH HILL IRISH FESTIVAL 2014
Come find us at the annual Church Hill Irish Festival March 22nd and 23rd. We will have lots of crafts and games for
children and information about what we have been up to and ways you can get involved. Stop by and say hello!
DELTA SIGMA THETA ORATORICAL CONTEST
On February 1, seven Bellevue Students competed in the 24th annual
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Oratorical Contest held at Linwood Holton Elementary School. Each of our Bellevue superstars chose or wrote a poem
or speech, memorized it and presented it (some in costume and with
props) in front of an audience. It was great fun and a fantastic opportunity for our students to show off their public speaking skills!
Second grader Marissa Milton won first place in her age group for her
poem entitled “The Burp.”
“Pardon me for being rude
It was not me, it was my food
It got so lonely down below
It just popped up to say hello!”

12 | March 2014
In our last update, we reported that 5th grader Makai
Milton was the winner of the Bellevue’s school-wide
spelling bee. On February 6th Makai competed in the
Richmond Public School’s Citywide Spelling Bee held
at Mary Munford Elementary School. Seated before a
packed audience, students took turns spelling progressively more challenging words. “This year’s Citywide
Spelling Bee was perhaps one of the most competitive
we’ve witnessed in recent memory,” Richmond Public Schools’ instructional specialist for gifted programs
Anthony Washington said in a statement. “There were
several students who advanced into the later rounds of
the competition by spelling words far above their grade
level.”
Makai advanced to the 5th round, spelling words such
as wildlife, dictate and leeway. Although he did not leave
as the citywide champion, he is Bellevue’s champion!

MINDS IN MOTION
In February, Minds in Motion instructor Emily Poff selected four Bellevue students to try out for the opportunity to
receive two years of free ballet instruction under the Stoner Winslett Scholarship, named after the Richmond Ballet’s
Artistic Director. Auditions are scheduled for the end of February. We are keeping our fingers crossed!
WATCH D.O.G.S.
The Bellevue PTA is extending the invitation to join our Watch D.O.G.S. program to the greater Church Hill Community.
If you are interested in finding out more, contact George Milton at 804-232-0282 or [email protected].
• What is Watch D.O.G.S.?
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is a program that is designed to get fathers (and father figures) more
involved in the lives of students at school. We ask fathers to commit to volunteering one day out of the school
year, and devoting that day to making a difference in the lives of their own child and other children at school.
• What does a Watch Dog do throughout the day?
Watch D.O.G.S. work with students in classrooms, small groups, or individually. This may include reading with
a student, doing flash cards, or simply observing lessons and providing a helping hand as needed. Watch
D.O.G.S. will also be available to eat lunch with students or hang out at recess.
• What is the purpose of Watch D.O.G.S.?
The purpose of the program is to get positive male role models into our schools to interact with our students,
and to provide a sense of safety and security to our students and staff by having increased male presence in
our building.
FARM FRESH RECEIPTS PROGRAM
Thanks in part to you, we have collected over 50,000 points and are well on our way to our goal of 100,000 points by
May 31, 2014. Please continue to drop off your Farm Fresh receipts in the mailbox located to the right of the steps in
front of the school. These points can be redeemed for badly needed educational equipment as part of Farm Fresh’s
123-4 the Community Program.

Real Estate Market News
by Jeanne Bridgforth
Introducing ChurchHillStats.com, a monthly update of the real estate market in Church Hill.
Each month we plan on bringing you news about the real estate market on Church Hill. We will look back at what has
sold, what markets are hot, what’s soft, as well as inventory levels. We will look at market trends and try to present to
you a snapshot of recent activity so you can see ‘The Big Picture’ of where we are, and where we may be heading.
Market Commentary | February, 11 2014
Sales for January were strong.
For Single Family Homes:
• 9 Sold (Closed)
• 29 Went Under Contract, a robust number compared to 17 units in January of 2013
• 45 New Homes came on the market.
In the Condo/Townhouse market:
• 17 New Units came on the market
• 8 Went Under Contract
• 1 Unit closed
The homes that did close in January priced at $200,000 and above stayed on the market on an average of only 33 days.
The market for higher priced properties continues to flourish with 7 of the 29 homes that went under contract priced
above $300,000. Homes North of Broad felt a surge. All but 4 of the 29 homes that went under contract were North of
Broad.
Market Commentary | January 5, 2014
We enter 2014 with three factors indicating a good year should be upon us.
Interest rates, while above their mid 2013 lows, are still historically well below average and despite the Federal Reserve’s announcement that they will being the process of buying the rates down less and less, interest rates moved
little. That is good news.
Inventory (see the charts below) is still well below normal and significantly below the highs of 2008, when Richmond’s
market began to fall in earnest. We enter 2014 with less inventory than 2013, a year when multiple offers (at least during the spring) were common and houses sold in very short order.
Mortgage insurance companies are re-entering the market. The mortgage insurance industry (MI companies insure
the highest leveraged loans in the marketplace) completely disappeared in 2008-2012 and along with them, the higher
loan-to-value loans. What this means is that liquidity will increase and those people who have little equity but good
incomes will be better able to purchase housing.
Some quick facts to be aware of • NUMBER OF CONDOS PRICED $100,000 & above SOLD IN 2012: 6 (average sale price $180,000)
• NUMBER OF CONDOS PRICED $100,000 & above SOLD IN 2013: 31 (average sale price $197,000)
• NUMBER OF HOMES sold above $300,000 in 2012: 11 units
• NUMBER OF HOMES sold above $300,000 in 2013: 31 units
Notable Sales | 2013
Some notable sales:
• 2813 E Grace sold for $589,000 (July)
• 2600 E Franklin sold for $500,000 (May)
• 2702 E Broad sold for $423,000 (December)

The Record
Church Hill Memories
by David Crowell Cooley
I take pen in hand to record some memories. Yes, pen in hand, I am a Paleolithic dinosaur, but will later transfer to
Word, proving myself of the more recent Huntnpeckic era. Eventually, I will get to my theme “Church Hill Memories.”
I encourage other mature, i.e., long term Church Hillians, to add to my stream. I have several times recently said to
others of you, my neighbors and long term friends, “We gotta write this stuff down or it will be lost!” We HAVE lost
some of our colorful luminaries, like Betty M. and Dean L. and L.P.; like B.’s ancient mother Miss. H. who babysat my
now 36-year old daughter in the 30-hundred block of E. Broad; like the fast-talking realtor Ed. H. who took so very
much history with him, most written to his liking. For now, I will outline my very earliest Church Hill Memory.
I am not a Richmond native, not even Virginia born, but I WAS born south of the Mason Dixon line in the top-most
port of the Bay. Some years later, from Norfolk, I matriculated to William and Mary College in the living history museum of Williamsburg. There, my love of cohesive period-defined neighborhoods was born and nurtured. I was one
of the “gentleman scholars of the College,” serving the wary tourists of Colonial Williamsburg. (Women would not
get this ‘right’ or recognition for many many more years.) In the mid-70’s, I may have been your breeches and vestadorned waiter at the Kings Arms Tavern. You tipped me well (sometimes). I was able to graduate in ’76, debt free.
Now THAT is ancient history and reality!
Now, to unwind from Saturday night restaurant work required an outlet for a lot of pent up energy. At W&M, like
many other schools, we were taught the three R’s: reading, ‘riting, and the Road to Richmond. Even at midnight, Rt.
5 was a pleasant drive from the ‘burg to the big city lights of Richmond. I have reviewed mentally my history of disco
dancing in Richmond, at the 409, at the Cha Cha Palace, at others not remembered. I cannot recall if the waiters at
Kings Arms or my blushing bride Jessica, and high-school chum Gregory started this Saturday Night Fever, but Rt. 5
was part of it. After breakfast at Uncle Remus’ Pancake house, we re-found Rt. 5 and wandered elatedly home to work
the lunch shift. But, I am telling you my first Church Hill Memory, right?
It has to do with rounding a curve on Rt. 5, just past the intersection with Old Osborne Turnpike, descending as we
drove, and BOOM there are the skyscrapers of RVA (to come later). To the right, to the NE, is the first Park House, the
residential lights of Church Hill, and soon the backside of Libby Terrace dangling over East Main Street. Betty and
John-Robbie D., your back porch and gardens caught my eye in 1974. I think, in fact, you did live there at that time.
You, and a few other urban pioneers like Gloria F. and Barbara M. I do know that as I got closer to East Main, I saw
the Libby Park House, I saw the dilapidated terra-cotta roofed empty KAYO gas station (now Poe’s), and I recorded it
deeply. My mind was looking ahead to the dance floors of after-hours Richmond. You made a fleeting impression.
Next Installment, a REAL and IN THE HOMES memory of Church Hill!
Respectfully recorded, David C.

Clang, Clang, Clang Went the Trolley…
By Eric S. Huffstutler
A
familiar sound for most citizens living in populated areas of America during the mid-19th and
20th centuries. It was the first true mechanized
form of street transportation during the age of horses. In fact, it was responsible for the development of
Richmond suburbs such as Forest Hills, Westhampton,
Fairmount, Bon Air, Ginter Park, and even the town of
Sandston. People sought out homes and businesses
along track lines, and to have one at your front door was
a premium. Elaborate amusement centers were built
by transit firms and land sales companies at the end of
highly traveled routes. Even cemeteries were popular
destinations to have a picnic and admire ornate monuments. It brought about the development of viaducts
like the one that directly connected Marshall Street from
Church Hill to downtown by trolley from 1911 to 1948
(demolished 1970).
Not to be confused with cable cars which are pulled
along by an underground steel cable system, trolley cars
are a form of railway system. They are propelled by electric motors tapping power from overhead wires by way
of a “troller” pole. There were at least 74 various attempts
to provide electric trolley service in over 60 communities in North America and Europe, but none were reliable enough to survive and replace the existing animalpowered ones. Richmond and our own Church Hill have
the distinction of being the world’s first location to have
a practical operating electric streetcar system which
served as a demonstration model for municipalities and
countries from all over the world.
In 1860 miniature railroad trains pulled by wood burners
were operating on Broad Street as far east as 8th Street.
They frightened horses and caused some fatalities, and
in 1875 the city banned the use of locomotives on the
streets. Richmond Railway Horsecars, or horse drawn
cars, also started operating in August 1860. Services
stopped in 1863 for the war, and tracks were torn up
and used to construct ironclads. After the war the tracks
were replaced, and service resumed in March 1866. The
horse drawn cars supplemented the electrical system
until 1901.

Frank Sprague, father of the Electric Trollety in Richmond
Frank Julian Sprague (1857-1934), known as the “Father of Electrical Traction,” worked with Thomas Edison
learning the principles of electricity and electric motors.
He went out on his own creating the Sprague ElectricRailway and Motor Company of New York City. In his
own words he “took a foolish contract” as a personal
challenge when he struck a deal with the Richmond
Committee on Streets. The Union Passenger Railway
Company was chartered on March 23, 1887 with John
Thompson Brown (1840-1921) as president. Brown resigned a year later in June 1888 succeeded by William
Robertson Trigg (1849-1903). An immediate order for 30
streetcars was sent to J.G. Brill including 20 closed and
10 open-sided cars which were 16 feet long (the length
of a Honda Accord) and carried 22 passengers. This was
Sprague’s very first contract and the city gave him only
90-days to create a working electric track where none
had existed. He was to be paid $110,000 (about $2.5
million in today’s dollars) if they were satisfied, and if
not, be penalized. Inventing the technology as he went
along, there were several delays which cost Sprague
$75,000 of his own money. His own trolley truck motors
were based on a General Electric compound-wound
electric motor developed by electrical engineer William
Bancroft Potter (1863-1934). This project was one of the
hardest 12-mile (eventually would be 82-miles) track
One of the first trolleys
routes ever built due to the hills, ravines, bad roads and
bridges along with several trials and mishaps along the
way. On May 8, 1888 the contract was finally fulfilled. His
gamble paid off and within two years, 110 electric railroads worldwide were operating or under construction
using Sprague’s equipment.
On May 5, 1887 ground was broken for tracks and the first
car sheds at the corner of 29th and P Streets in Church
Hill (demolished 1912). A midnight test run on November 7, 1887 with car No. 27 was made from the sheds
to 7th and Marshall carrying 15 passengers through the
New Reservoir/Clay Street line that then ran down 9th,
Bank, and Franklin Streets. Sprague was at the helm and
Alonzo Smith Tyler (1838-1903) the motorman. During
the return trip crossing Broad to Bank at a high speed,
the trolley jumped the track while turning the corner at
12th and hit a column at the St. James Hotel; but despite
this, the ride was a success. Another early morning run
on December 27, 1887 from the shed to 5th and Clay
was cut short because the mud was too frozen across
tracks and they were still training 40 employees for the
Church Hill loop. The “Church Hill Loop” – started at the
N 29th and P Streets shed - down to E Broad St – N 24th
St – E Marshall St – Jefferson Ave - M Street - N 25th
St - back to P Street. The depot would be at the power
station on 7th Street. In 1896 and 1900, another terminus and shed was added by Richmond Traction near
the corner of Oakwood Avenue and Mill Streets (now E.
Richmond Road) at the gates of the cemetery.
Limited operations started on January 9, 1888 with six
cars on an irregular schedule to work out the bugs. Car
No. 28 left the shed at 6:00 a.m. and went to the western
most point at Clay and Hancock taking 1/2 hour. The
first nickel paying passenger was William A. Boswell
(1825-1890) of Church Hill. Walter “Bo” B. Eubank (18611931) was the conductor and Paul N. Grant (1845-1894)
the motorman. Regular service carrying 12,500 passengers per day started on May 8, 1888.
An electric railway needs electricity. As early as 1881,
Lewis Ginter was entertaining the idea of installing
electric street lights but faced competition. Richmond
Schuyler Electric Light Co. was chartered October 12,
1885 and installed the first lights along streets and in
parks. Excelsior Electric Light and Power Co. charter
June 28, 1887 went for the public subscribers, but it was
Virginia Electric Light and Power Company chartered
October 18, 1887 with a coal powered plant located
at the corner of 7th and Canal Streets (now the site of
Richmond Plaza across from Crowne Plaza Hotel) that
provided power for the first cars through underground
cables and poles as part of the Sprague contract. A
series of power plants were constructed along the waterfront to supply electricity to the trolley system and
homes. This included the largest (8,800kw) and last
dedicated hydroelectric steam plant which opened for
ChurchHill.org | 19
operation April 7, 1901 at the site of the old Haxall Mills
flour plant (1201 Haxall Point - now a hollow shell). A
smaller power plant on Belle Isle was opened in 1904 for
the South side traffic.
A 1903 strike by motormen caused the calling out of the
state militia, resulting in gunfire, rioting and two deaths.
African-American Richmond Planet newspaper editor
John Mitchell Jr. (1863-1929) led a 1904 boycott of the
cars due to racial segregation enforced by armed motormen. Weakened by the strike and unwilling to abandon
its views on the Jim Crow policy, the streetcar company
was liquidated.

Two weeks in July 1921, Virginia Railway and Power Co.
ran an Atlas Trolley Coach “trollibus” along Floyd Avenue.
This experiment was to gather public comments about
having a Trackless Trolley service which could run on rubber tires and pull curbside to pick up passengers rather
than being confined to rails. The 0.69 mile, 8-block run
between Robinson and Crenshaw dubbed the Country
Club Line was a huge success, eventually carrying a total of 53,611 passengers using a single 30 passenger car.
But the city nixed the switch in fear of having to repair
rough roadways and forcing a pavement tax to do so.
electricity business. They controlled the last four remaining systems servicing Richmond, Petersburg, Newport
News, and Portsmouth and all were sold to the highest
bidders for $1.3 million on February 28, 1945. But this
was only part of the beginning of the end. Conspiracy
plot rumors ran rampant that the car and bus manufacturers had a hand in killing the trolleys, but WWII is the
main cause. Routes were cut back, maintenance and
upgrades were put off for the war effort, and the returning GI’S were more interested in driving their own cars
than riding the trolleys.
Over the years dozens of companies came and went
sharing Richmond streets. Many went bankrupt or
were taken over by other systems until there was only
a single ownership of the tracks. In 1944 the Securities & Exchange Commission directed Virginia Electric
and Power Company (VEPCO) who was monopolizing
the areas trolley systems to confine activities to only its
In December 1946 Virginia Transit Company had 60 Brill
44-passenger electric trolley coaches on order for delivery in early 1948, but the order was cancelled for use
on Main Street and other arteries. When VTC replaced
the last streetcars in 1949, they used ACF-Brill and Twin
Coach buses, as well as some used 1942 Macks from
Washington, D.C. The first diesels made by GM came
along in November of 1953.
Richmond’s last trolley run was made by No. 408 who
led nine others in a parade down Main Street, drawing dozens of riders taking that last ride and thousands
of onlookers on November 25, 1949. At 9:30 a.m. it
reached the end of the line and was torched by Lee Ferguson Davis Sr. (1907-1982), who was then Virginia Transit Co. vice president. With numerous attempts dousing
it with gasoline, pushing it on its side, even chopping
holes into the body, it took 30 minutes before the flames
finally took off. More than 50 other cars ended up this
way, bringing about the end of an era.

Neighborhood Non-Profit Celebrates 90 Years of Helping Children!
ChildSavers 1924:
ChildSavers 2014:
th

How it all began.
2014 marks ChildSavers’ 90th year of providing comprehensive mental health services for children. Over the years our programs have
expanded from a small guidance clinic to include Trauma Response, as well as, Child Development Services programming that
provides education, mentorship and support for area childcare providers.
In 1924, Martha Branch, a concerned citizen and head of the McGuire Newton Foundation, was the driving force behind the founding
of a child guidance clinic in Richmond. So innovative was this child guidance clinic that it was the first of its kind in the
south. This effort embraced a national movement of recognizing and treating children’s mental health issues, and was also a
memorial to the esteemed Dr. Newton, a longtime medical educator and pediatrician affectionately known as the city’s most
renowned “baby doctor”. Originally named Children’s Memorial Clinic and then Memorial Child Guidance Clinic, in 2004 we became
known as ChildSavers.
A fresh approach to child development and therapy.
From the very beginning, ChildSavers’ approach to children’s mental health was groundbreaking. In 1926, we partnered with the
Junior League of Richmond to provide woodworking and art classes to help children learn useful skills and develop an appreciation
for craft and beauty. In hindsight, this may have been one of the very first play therapy programs. Today, our clinicians still operate
under the now widely accepted principle that art and play therapy are integral to healing children, as they provide a non-verbal
channel for expressing emotions.
A history of development.
Nine decades later, we take pride in being the oldest provider of mental health services for children in the metro Richmond area.
During the last twenty years, we’ve added training child care providers to our list of child development services. Over the last ten
years we’ve increased partnerships with schools, community centers, and emergency shelters. We maintain strong relationships with
area health clinics and government agencies that also share our passion to serve children and those who care for and educate them.
Looking forward to 100 years!
With a committed and generous donor base, an army of dedicated volunteers and the continuing partnerships of local organizations
(both public and private), we are confident in our ability to continue to improve the quality and accessibility of childcare and to raise
awareness and understanding of children’s mental health in the Richmond community. We couldn’t do this kind of life changing
work without your support. Your contributions have and will continue to write our history.

This year, the James River Writers (JRW) organization is coming to Church Hill. The organization, which began in 2003
with a small group of area authors, now has over 300 members. I am one of them. A resident of Church Hill, I have
also been a member of JRW the last four years. I’ve recently joined their Board of Directors.
So imagine my excitement when I learned that my lovely neighborhood is also going to play host to a few JRW
events this year. A series called Master Classes will be held at the St. John’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall. The Master
Classes are run by professionally published authors and other industry insiders and allow attendees to dive deeply
into topics in a small group setting. Topics have ranged from memoir writing to advice on writing compelling short
stories. A new series is soon to begin, and our first class on March 28 will focus on using social media effectively as a
writer.
Beyond the Master Classes, the Church Hill Association neighborhood newsletter has invited us to contribute a
monthly column. In our brief articles, a JRW author or a board member will share a story, a writing moment, or a literary event here in the newsletter. We have much to share.
JRW strives to connect and inspire both writers and readers through a number of ongoing events around town. The
JRW Writing Show at the Camel, held at 6:30 p.m. on the last Thursday of each month, discusses a variety of writing
topics. (We have snacks, too.) Our next two panels on February 27 and March 27 will focus on storytelling through
filmmaking and the author as entrepreneur.
Our annual conference, held every October during the Virginia Literary Festival, attracts authors, agents, and editors
from both in and outside of Virginia. The weekend-long conference includes sessions on a variety of literary topics, a
chance to meet agents and editors, and plenty of bookish fun. Mark your calendars now for October 17-19.
If conferences and master classes are too daunting for new or aspiring writers, we also have Writers Wednesdays.
Held in various Capital Ale House locations around Richmond, these second-Wednesday social hours are hosted by
JRW. Come grab a drink, find out about us, and talk with authors in a casual setting. (We’re predominately authors
and introverts. We are friendly, but we are not a pushy crowd.) Our next Writers Wednesday will be at the Capital
Alehouse at Innsbrook on March 12.
In the coming months, we’ll share more about JRW and our involvement in the literary community in the Church
Hill newsletter. To learn more about our events or to register, you can also find us online at jamesriverwriters.org.
Until then, perhaps you’ll see some JRW authors writing in a Church Hill café or restaurant. Say hello if you find us
here perusing the books in one of two of Church Hill’s Little Libraries. We’re glad to be here, and happy to bring you
watershed events in writing, reading and community.
Karen A. Chase has been a resident of Church Hill since 2009. She is the author of Bonjour 40: A Paris Travel Log, and a member of the
James River Writers board of directors.

MEETING MINUTES
Church Hill Association Membership Meeting
The year’s first Membership Meeting of the Church Hill Association (“CHA”) was held on January 28, 2014 in the Parish Hall of St.
John’s Church, and was called to order at 7:05 PM by the President, Geoffrey Cooper.
The prior meeting’s minutes and the agenda were adopted without objection.
Members were welcomed by the Rev. Laura Insco and first-time
members were recognized by Geoffrey Cooper.
Lt. Dan Minton of the RPD reported a 45% reduction in crime in
Church Hill during 2013. Prosecutor Colette McEachin with the
Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office reported on new
plans for the city jail now under construction. The plans include
wrap-around services and education for first-time, nonviolent offenders, delivered under suspended sentences to reduce incarceration and recidivism.
Committee Reports
Treasurer Cooley reported that the income from December activities was positive, despite bad weather experienced on the day of
the House Tour, resulting in an increase in the CHA’s cash position
of $2,375.45.
Membership chair Trish Bernal reported that membership stood
at 154 as of the meeting time January 28. That number is expected to grow during the year as renewals and new members accrue.
Zoning chair Waite Rawls introduced Coquie McDonald to report
on riverfront development matters. She indicated that several
matters have emerged on the waterfront, namely a proposed
140 foot structure at Richmond on the James (formerly Echo Harbor), and a 16 story condo tower proposed for Pear Street and E.
Cary. City staff now appears to support the development, with a
March 17 Planning Committee date and a March 24 Council vote
anticipated for Pear Street, which now features a “towering blank
wall” visible from Libby Terrace, according to Ms. McDonald. Echo
is technically “of right”, but requires relocation of a water pipe in
connection with the Capital Trail development, which is not “of
right”. The plan now calls for a “massive parking structure with
two narrow gaps to allow for a view”, Ms. McDonald reported.
Council approval of the relocation is pending.
Mr. Johnson added that the renderings on the City’s website are
not of the current plan and suggested that funds set aside for
CHA to preserve the view may be used for a new model to show
Council and the public what the impact will be of these projects
on the Church Hill “Viewshed”.
John Johnson briefly commented on the status of legal matters,
which are substantially unchanged, he said.
On Outreach, Sandra Horton reported for Geneva Smith had attended meetings of the Church Hill Central and Union Hill Asso24 | March 2014
ciations on CHA’s behalf, and John Johnson reviewed a map prepared by the office of Council member Cynthia Newbille giving
approximate boundaries for what she calls the Old Historic St.
John’s Church Historic District and Chimborazo, Union Hill, and
Church Hill North Historic District. Mr. Johnson noted that the
lines on the council’s map do not equate to the historic landmark
districts by those names, and clarified that the maps do not indicate which citizens belong to which association. CHA is open to
everyone interested in the community, Mr. Johnson concluded.
Eugenia Anderson reminded the group of the success of efforts
to present planning for a massive new entrance to the city along
the Route 5 corridor and suggested that ongoing planning focus
on improving access to the corridor in appropriate ways such as
the bicycle path and scenic and economic improvements from
Williamsburg to downtown Richmond.
President Cooper commended Jon Ondrak and other volunteers
planning the Hilltopper 5 K race on March 23 and asked members
to volunteer at www.hilltopper5k.com.
Waite Rawls reported to the Membership on the plans for new
construction requiring a special use permit for the Restore PT
construction project on N. 23rd Street which his committee and
the CHA Board have recommended to the membership for approval. Eugenia Anderson moved that the Membership endorse
the SUP for 404 N. 23rd Street. The motion was duly seconded.
After several questions about the impact and design, including
detailed efforts by the owners which have secured neighborhood support. Jon Ondrak called the question, which Trish Bernal seconded. The question was called and the motion passed
unanimously.
The President recognized Mr. and Mrs. Corley for their long service to CHA and the neighborhood.
The final business was a brief break to organize the following Outreach Committees by the chairs and voluntary members.
