Accessed October 12, 2016. http://hburgnews.com/2010/06/18/franklin-heights-renovation-completed/.","\"Zoning Information.\" City of Harrisonburg, VA. 2016. Accessed October 12, 2016. https://www.harrisonburgva.gov/zoning/.","The Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority (HRHA) was founded in November 1955 to combat urban dilapidation and to ensure a revived urban zone within Harrisonburg along with affordable housing for residents. It still operates today within the city of Harrisonburg with its original mission statement: \"To promote adequate and affordable housing economic opportunity and a suitable living environment free from discrimination; and to foster redevelopment of  blighted areas to ensure the economic, social and housing vitality of our community.\"","These photos, dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, were taken as part of the R4 and R16 programs and show areas believed to be in need of urban renewal. R4 refers to the zoning district that was administered by the City of Harrisonburg. According to the City of Harrisonburg, the R4 designation denotes a planned unit residential district zone and is mainly an indicator of planned communities of affordable subsidized government housing with various requirements and standards.","The photographs of the Franklin and Harrison Heights neighborhood developments were the first projects by the R4 Commission and the HRHA as a whole. Franklin Heights, located on Lincoln Circle and Kelley, Hill, E. Johnson, Broad, E. Gay, Myrtle, and Sterling Streets, was constructed on a former Harrisonburg landfill. Harrison Heights is located on Myers Avenue and E. Bruce, Norwood, and Reservoir Streets. Both developments were made available to lower income families and subsidized by the city of Harrisonburg.","The R4 and R16 programs revived the urban areas of Harrisonburg, but had a social cost of dispersing and displacing the previous residents of areas they affected. These affected neighborhoods were largely integrated prior to the R4 and R16 urban renewal efforts. However, the resulting displacement of residents reinforced racial separation within the city.","In preparation for possible future rusting and failure of the fasteners, all photographs from the R16 Urban Renewal Project photo album were removed and foldered numerically according to their assigned number. The photo album is foldered and housed separately in a half-Hollinger box. Photograph #29 from this photo album was mended in order to reattach the upper right corner that had become detached.","Robert James Sullivan Jr. Papers, 1930-2013, SC 0003, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA.","The Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority Photographs, 1960-1987, consist of two Hollinger boxes and 1 half-Hollinger box (.86 cubic feet). The collection consists primarily of photographs, and also include several photocopies and also include a photo album. All of the photographs are black-and-white, ranging in size from 3 ½ x 5 inches to 8 x 10 inches. The photos are in fairly good condition with the exception of some folds, minor tears, and holes in corners from staples.","The photographs mainly document areas that the Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority was considering for urban renewal. The photos often depict areas of downtown and residential Harrisonburg that are dilapidated, vacant, or deemed unappealing.","Four folders of photographs document the construction of Franklin Heights and Harrison Heights, planned communities of subsidized housing spearheaded by the HRHA in 1960-1961 located on Kelley Street, Lincoln Circle, East Bruce, Hill, Broad, East Gay, Myrtle, Sterling, Norwood, East Johnson, Reservoir Street, and Myers Avenue. The photographs show the various phases of construction and are labeled based on the area within the community and the housing units that are depicted. They are organized numerically by the numbered labels affixed to or printed on the photographs. The researcher should note that there are gaps in the numbers indicating missing photographs. \"Allen Litten Photo\" is stamped on the verso of each photograph. It is presumed that HRHA commissioned Allen Litten, a local photographer, to take the photographs.","A portion of the photographs, 96 in total, were originally compiled in a photo album titled \"PHOTOS URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT VA. R-16 APRIL 5, 1962.\" The photographs were originally stapled to the album pages, but were removed in preparation for possible future rusting and failure of the fasteners. The photo album is foldered and boxed separately from the photographs. These photographs, all measuring 8 x 10 inches and dating to 1962, show the houses and buildings targeted for renewal with the R16 program. The photographs are numbered based upon the structure they depict. Each structure was photographed from at least two different angles – primarily a front and back view. There are some gaps within the numbering system, with buildings 27, 28, 39, and 50 not included in the collection at all. Additional unnumbered photographs include various depictions of seemingly unrelated subjects.

David Heatwole, with his wife Magdalene and young family in tow, left Pennsylvania in the late-eighteenth century and settled near Harrisonburg, Virginia.","Heatwole family members documented in this collection are fourth and fifth generation descendants of David Heatwole and include Daniel Franklin \"D.

Heatwole was an older brother of Cornelius Jacob Heatwole (1868-1939), who was appointed the Head of the Department of Education at the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg. In 1893, Daniel F. Heatwole was appointed postmaster to Sparkling Springs in Rockingham County and in 1899, he was appointed by Judge Grattan to land assessor of the Linville District. He otherwise occupied himself with agricultural pursuits as a farmer.","Ella Heatwole Jacobson graduated from the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1912 with a professional degree. While a student, Ella was a member of the Lee Literary Society and also served as chairwoman of the YWCA's bible study committee. Prior to marrying Anton Nikolai Jacobson on February 7, 1917 and moving to Cutbank, Montana, where her brother Elmer was also a resident, Ella taught school in Rockingham County, Virginia and was a member of the Singers Glen Baptist Church. She died August 21, 1918 in Montana from a complication of diseases. Her body was returned to Virginia in the company of her parents and her brother Elmer. She is buried at Cooks Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery.","David F. Lineweaver, Sallie Heatwole's father, is also well-documented in this collection. Daniel F. Heatwole, Sallie's husband, acted as the administrator of Lineweaver's estate.","Leonard Heatwole married Nora Ellen Trumbo Heatwole (1894-1987) on June 18, 1925. Leonard served with the American Expeditionary Forces in France during WWI and was the registrar of the Mt. Clinton precinct for 35 years prior to retiring in 1967. Nora was born January 29, 1894 to John Riddle Trumbo and Sarah Fulk Trumbo of Fulks Run, Virginia. The collection descended through this line of the Heatwole family via Leonard and Nora's daughter Madeline Ann Heatwole Stewart (1926-2012) and her husband Donald William Stewart (b. 1920).","A full genealogy of the Heatwole family can be found in Harry Anthony Brunk's David Heatwole and His Descendants (1987). A thorough genealogical study of the Trumbo family is available in \nConrad Feltner's The Trumbo Family (1974).","The collection was donated with basic groupings applied to materials (e.g. Trumbo family photographs were grouped together, Ella Heatwole Jacobson materials were grouped together, all postcards were grouped together regardless of recipient). The collection included several full newspaper issues that were collected for family obituaries. Those obituaries were photocopied and the original newspapers discarded. Other miscellaneous non-local newspapers were discarded.","The Heatwole Family Papers, 1838-2001, document descendants of David Heatwole (1767-1842) who moved to Rockingham County, Virginia from Pennsylvania in the late-eighteenth century. The collection documents the Heatwoles of Mt. Clinton and Dale Enterprise as well as the Trumbos of Fulks Run. Materials include correspondence, financial records, account books and ledgers, personal papers, photographs, recipes, and ephemera.

Raised in McGaheysville, Conn was known locally as the great-great granddaughter of the town's founder, Tobia McGahey. She attended the State Normal and Industrial School for Women, now James Madison University, where she graduated in 1912. While a student, Conn was involved in the Lanier Literary Society, Racket Tennis Club, and the editorial staff for the yearbook.

In addition, her collection of poetry primarily comprises her original work. Occasional pieces included are not originally by her but are works that she recited or wrote out. The majority of her poetry in the collection is dated between 1975-1989; however, there is some undated poetry that is estimated to be prior to 1975. As a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, Conn also had a collection of sermons from the 1940-1950s, mostly preached by Reverend Vincent C.
