While Jodzies never served as president of the club she was nevertheless an active member of the community. During her life she served as an officer in the Virginia Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs, vice president of the Fairfax County Council of Home Demonstration Clubs, and even the chairman of the state library. She was a strong advocate for rural communities’ access to libraries.","The building which now houses the Vale Club was originally a one-room schoolhouse built in 1884. During the Great Depression the Vale School was closed due to the consolidation of schools. Although Vale School’s closure resulted in losing a central community place, it allowed for the Vale Home Demonstration Club to petition for its use as a community center. As a result, the Home Demonstration was granted exclusive use of the Vale property in 1935, a mere year after the club’s inception. By 1938 they raised enough money to purchase the schoolhouse for two-hundred and seventy dollars.","Before the Home Demonstration Club acquired the schoolhouse, a second room had been added onto the building in 1912. Since the acquisition in 1935, the schoolhouse’s upkeep has been an integral part of the club’s activities. Notable projects completed by the Vale Club include the installation of electricity in 1940, a well-structure built in 1951, a new roof in 1985, indoor plumbing installed in 1990 (and the 1884 privy torn down), and in 2005 the construction of a storage shed. In 1950, the club replaced the first room’s maple hardwood floor, and in 1995 replaced linoleum floors with hardwood floors in the second room. Both rooms in the schoolhouse still retain their original beadboard paneled ceiling and wood cornices and also feature reproduction light fixtures and ceiling fans.","During the years between the advent of the club and purchasing the school, the club solidified itself in the local community by hosting its first Vale Club Community Exhibit in 1936, and in 1937 sponsored the community’s first 4-H Club. Soon after, the ladies of the club established themselves even further with their World War II relief efforts by sewing for the Red Cross, salvaging various materials (fats, metals, paper, and so on), planting victory gardens, and becoming home certified nurses.","Since 1934, Vale Club had also been associated with the Extension Club. The purpose of the Extension Club, which began nationally in 1913, was to educate and organize farm women so they could learn life skills such as sewing, cooking, sanitation, and even beautification. Vale Club endeavored to foster a place in which rural women could learn valuable skills including canning, dressmaking, furniture refinishing, and basic health care.","The Vale Club remained associated with the Extension Club until 1999. In early 1998, deliberations to end the affiliation began. These discussions are evidenced by council meeting minutes, as well as letters written in the Extension Line newsletter. By August 1998, the Extension Line newsletter urged members to attend the next meeting to vote on the fate of the relationship. Evidently, the members were in favor of not continuing with the Extension Club. After the vote had been cast, the end of the association escalated quickly. November’s council meeting brought proposed distribution of funds, and in January 1999 the decision to dissolve the club was finalized.","Despite the various changes imposed upon the Vale Club, efforts to tie members together never ceased. In 1980, the Gourmet Club began its first meal gatherings, a series of meetings that occurred throughout the year and endures today. Although there is usually an overarching yearly theme, each dinner party has its own unique twist. For example, the 1995-1996 year theme “Affairs to Remember” features classic Hollywood films. Appropriately, each dinner theme corresponds with a different movie, such as the club’s pairing of the film Like Water for Chocolate with Mexican cuisine. These yearly themed dinners are recorded in annually published cookbooks which include menus, recipes, and the names and contact information for the hostesses and Gourmet Club members. Other efforts to bring club members together include dinner dance/auctions for Valentine's Day, Mardis Gras, and even excursions into Washington, D.C.","By the mid-2000s, the club began sending care packages to soldiers. These care packages are created and sent bi-yearly and include various items such as snacks, puzzles, and toiletries. The club has also been active in helping with the Sunrise Teen Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center.","Although the club has changed since its inception in the 1930s, it has retained its fundamental traditions. These include: monthly meetings, an annual fall fair, use of the schoolhouse for community meetings, assisting community members in need, and raising money for the upkeep of the schoolhouse. While the face of Vale Club has changed, membership has fluctuated, and activities have evolved, it has sustained itself as a pillar of the local community and is still active to date.","Series 1: Administrative Files","Sub-series 1-1: Extension Club, 1998-1999, Box 1 \nThis sub-series contains information regarding the end of Vale’s relationship with the Extension club.

Documents relating to activities consist of a list of the club’s educational activities, a check request for a spa weekend, tour of the National Cathedral, and information for a tour of Old Town Alexandria. Additionally, there is a Volunteer Service Award and a letter concerning new volunteer involvement opportunities from the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services. A letter from Robert F. McDonnell, governor of Virginia, dated April 2012 is also included. The letter thanks the club for their support, and gives recognition to the club’s accomplishments.","Series 3: Correspondence, 2007-2011, Box 1","Correspondence includes thank you notes from U.S. soldiers who received care packages from Vale Club. There are five photographs (printed on regular paper from a standard printer) of soldiers. Additionally, there is official Vale Club letterhead and envelopes.","Series 4: Cookbooks, 1986-2001, Boxes 1-2","Cookbooks in this series are primarily from the Gourmet Club (active from 1980 through present), and are published yearly. However, one cookbook included was published by Friends of Vale Schoolhouse. In 2001, Friends of Vale Schoolhouse released a cookbook, Love in Action. Lengthier than Gourmet Club cookbooks, it includes a dedication, table of contents, a history of Vale with memories from club presidents, a plethora of recipes, as well as an index in the back.","Each Gourmet Club cookbook is themed and includes a calendar of dinners, hostess and member information, fees, detailed menus, and explicit responsibilities of members. Most of the cookbooks include a history of the Gourmet Club, and a letter from the chair, but only two include an index. Menus provide the date of the meal, the particular theme, delegation of assignments, and recipes. Two instances of interesting cookbooks are Affairs to Remember (1995-6) and A Second Helping (1994-5). Affairs to Remember is themed after the classic cinematic experience. For example, the menu themed Casablanca features North African cuisine. A Second Helping is musically themed, with the menu focusing on “Back in the U.S.S.R.” based on Russian cuisine.","Series 5: Scrapbooks, 1934-1988, Boxes 5-6","This series contains two scrap books.

About half of the contents are photocopies and not originals and many of the contents are stapled in. The types of records included are photographs, early newsletters, and event schedules. Some of the more interesting records are a 1950s study of the Vale neighborhood that includes maps, and an original letter from the Fairfax County School Board concerning the schoolhouse deed (1965) which contains a brief history of the schoolhouse. The scrapbook also supplies information regarding the new bell tower installed in 1988.","Series 6: Newsletters, 1982-2016, Boxes 3-4","Comprised of monthly Newsletters (September through June). Newsletters include a Letter from the President and general announcements. The newsletters underwent a few name changes in 2001, 2004, and 2006.

Manning, raised him. Manning was philatelic curator of the Smithsonian Institute from 1922 to 1951, the first woman outside the sciences to achieve the rank of Assistant Curator.","Robertson moved to Arlington, Virginia with his grandmother and attended Washington-Lee High School. In 1944, he quit school and joined the Navy as a Fireman First Class (EM striker) and earned the nickname “Rebel”. During World War II he served on tank landing ships in the Pacific arena including the USS Sphinx (LST-963) in 1944 and the USS Orvetta (IX-157) in 1946.","At age 19, he married high school sweetheart Ruby Lee Binsted on October 19, 1946. The couple moved into government housing in Arlington, Virginia. Around the same time, Robertson enrolled as a student at the National School of Photography on 1005 E. Street, N.W. In the early 1950s, Robertson worked as a commercial photographer for Ackad Studios on Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington D.C. He snapped photos of celebrities, politicians, embassy officials, weddings, and even traditional studio portraits for Ackad.","In 1954, the Robertsons moved to 6907 Pine Crest Avenue in McLean, Virginia in the West McLean subdivision. Robertson joined the Fairfax County Fire Department on June 1, 1955 as a Fire Dispatcher, becoming one of its first paid employees. When a person called the emergency number, Robertson answered and dispatched the fire equipment. Simultaneously, Robertson also volunteered with the McLean Volunteer Fire Department. In September 1976, he retired as a Captain.","After retiring, he and his wife volunteered at the McLean Treasure Trove, a consignment shop which benefited Fairfax Hospital. Always an avid collector, Robertson frequently visited yard sales collecting “historical” items. At some point he acquired an original cornerstone from the Fairfax Courthouse (now on display at the Fairfax Museum and Visitors Center) and three of the four original plaques from the long lost four-sided stone marker commemorating the 1863 Battle of Sangster Station (now on display at the Fairfax Station Railroad Museum).","Hugh Robertson died on October 26, 2005.

Photos of the groundbreaking of the Reston Fire Station and dedication of the Vienna Fire Station are also included as well as scenes from the Virginia State Firemen’s School.

The firm previously operated its Washington branch at 1225 I Street N.W. since the 1920s. The new building had an enclosed warehouse area, offices, display room and was located near a railroad siding. It can be presumed that the photographs in this series are of the newly opened building. Of particular note is that Kahlil Daoud Ackad was the Washington branch manager for Crane Co. from 1950-1959. K.D. Ackad was the brother of Abdon Daoud Ackad, owner of Ackad Studios of which Hugh Robertson photographed for.","Sub-Series 2-3: Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, 1948-c.1950s \nPhotographs in this series depict scenes from Washington D.C., Maryland or Virginia.

Subjects include Qingdao, China; Tokyo, Japan; Yokosuka, Japan; and Mount Fuji. The photographs are dated 1947 in what appear to be Robertson’s handwriting. The U.S. Navy discharged Robertson in 1946, so it is possible that these photographs are misdated or not even photographed by Robertson himself.","Sub-Series 2-7: Unidentified, Undated \nPhotographs in this series are unidentified and feature portraits, houses, weddings, social events, and scenery.

The house, built in 1859, saw many encounters between Confederate and Union forces during the Civil War, including J.E.B Stuart’s occupation of the hill.","The public health situation of Fairfax County stimulated Wilkins’ involvement in local politics. Her children attended a local school and she felt that the health department did not give adequate attention to communicable disease control. Wilkins met with the local public health officer to raise her concerns and he inspired her to organize citizen support for public health facilities. As a result, she founded the Lay Health Association which sought to broaden the scope of the health department.","Wilkins went on to become very active in civic affairs. In 1941 she and her husband founded the Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Association. She also worked bringing about community change with the Community Chest, the League of Women Voters, the Good Government Committee and the PTA.","In 1947 the County Board proposed rezoning land near Seven Corners for the construction of Willston Apartments, a large unwanted apartment complex that would dramatically increase the community’s population. With plenty of support, Anne Wilkins led the opposition to the rezoning. Nevertheless, the County Board rezoned it, and her defeat inspired Wilkins to get more involved with politics to instigate change.","In 1950, Anne and Donald acted as leaders in the campaign to change the inefficient form of the county government. Under the old form, voters separately elected all heads of government, the county suffered a lack of budget control, and the government was unprepared for the rapid influx of population in the area. Through their involvement with the Federation of Citizens Association and League of Women Voters, they successfully won this campaign. On November 5, 1950 Fairfax County voters approved the county executive form of government to be implemented in 1952.","In 1951 with the help of the League of Women Voters, Wilkins set up a grassroots campaign to get her elected to the Board of Supervisors. She successfully acquired the Democratic nomination for supervisor in the Falls Church District over incumbent C.B. Runyon. She went on to win the general election over Republican Frank Clem, which made her the only woman board member in Virginia at that time. In 1955 she ran for reelection in the Mason District defeating Republican James L. Deaver, and again in 1959. In 1958, she served as the board’s first female chairman and again in 1960 and 1961. She lost her campaign for a fourth term in 1963 to Republican Stanford E. Parris.","Wilkins accomplished a tremendous amount of progress in her twelve years on the Board and is credited for single-handedly shaping the direction of Fairfax County’s growth and development. During her first year on the Board in 1952, Wilkins oversaw the implementation of the county executive form of government. During the change, elected officials transitioned into appointed offices.","As one of the first advocates for a countywide master plan, she immediately initiated the master plan studies which resulted in the county’s first long-range Master Plan for land use. The Master Plan formed the basis for all future development in the county. While on the board, she planned and built a county-wide sewer and water system, set up modern county police and fire departments, provided garbage collecting services, and created guidelines for storm drainage. She helped build modern schools, improved school standards, aided in the formation of George Mason University, and successfully led Fairfax County through integration despite substantial resistance. In addition to setting up a modern public health department and constructing new clinics, Wilkins helped establish Fairfax Hospital, the county’s first hospital. Wilkins also fought a losing battle for annexation of the City of Fairfax.","Wilkins served on the Planning Commission and involved herself in many land-use and zoning issues. She convinced the federal government of moving the proposed metropolitan area airport from Burke to Chantilly. The government had already purchased the land in Burke for the construction of the airport, despite major protest from the community. After consulting soil scientists, Wilkins discovered that Burke had insufficient soil and an abundant amount of granite that would be costly to remove for the construction of runway foundations. The Chantilly location had adequate soil which would prove to be more economical for construction. While the government later cited the traffic pattern for moving the airport to Chantilly, her argument convinced them enough to cease pursuing the Burke location and re-evaluate their plans. She later successfully lobbied for a sufficient right of way for the Dulles Toll Road.","While on the Board of Supervisors, Wilkins also acted as a charter member of the Washington Metropolitan Regional Conference, now known as the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. She served on several of its committees including Transportation in which she laid the groundwork for future development of the Metro. While on the Water Supply and Pollution Abatement Committee, she succeeded in cleaning up the Potomac River and adopted water quality standards. As Chairman of the Civil Defense and Public Safety Committee she sought standards for protection against the effects of nuclear weapons.","When she lost reelection in 1963, Wilkins drifted away from politics. She became a real estate broker with Edward R. Carr, Inc. handling Carr’s land and commercial sales in Springfield and Annandale. In 1972 she started her own real estate business, Anne Wilkins \u0026 Associates, and went on to make a major land sale that became the planned community of Lake Ridge in Prince William County.","After leaving politics, her family suffered multiple tragedies. In 1966, the Alexandria Federal Court convicted Donald Wilkins of income tax evasion. Accused of submitting fraudulent tax returns that cheated the government out of almost $23,000, Wilkins served a brief prison sentence. Anne had filed joint returns with her husband but the government did not charge her with misconduct. In 1977, Wilkins’ son, John, died suddenly of an aneurysm at age 33. Anne retired from her real estate business in 1993 and moved to Merry Point, Virginia. She died at her home of breast cancer on September 9, 1996.","Series 1: Biographical Materials, 1935-1972 ","Sub-Series 1-1: Personal Records, 1936-1995, Box 1 \nThis series contains college transcripts; biographical information; records of affairs booklet; a birthday poem to Anne Wilkins; Anderson family reunion address book; and a handwritten excerpt from the book Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss.

She attended Winthrop Training School and enrolled in Winthrop College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and English. As a college student she organized the Roosevelt-Garner Club and the Young Democratic Club of York County and went on to be selected as the Young Democrats national committeewoman from South Carolina in 1933.","After graduating in 1934, she attended George Washington Law School. While studying there she met Donald Wilkins, an assistant dean and roll-keeper for one of her classes. They married on September 4, 1937. In 1938 she graduated with her L.L.B. while her husband received his Master’s degree in the same ceremony. That same year she also passed the District of Columbia Bar.","In 1939 the Wilkins family moved to Fairfax County living in a small house in Lee Boulevard Heights where Anne raised their two children, Gary and John. In 1943 the Wilkins’ bought and moved into the Munson Hill estate. The house, built in 1859, saw many encounters between Confederate and Union forces during the Civil War, including J.E.B Stuart’s occupation of the hill.","The public health situation of Fairfax County stimulated Wilkins’ involvement in local politics. Her children attended a local school and she felt that the health department did not give adequate attention to communicable disease control. Wilkins met with the local public health officer to raise her concerns and he inspired her to organize citizen support for public health facilities. As a result, she founded the Lay Health Association which sought to broaden the scope of the health department.","Wilkins went on to become very active in civic affairs. In 1941 she and her husband founded the Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Association. She also worked bringing about community change with the Community Chest, the League of Women Voters, the Good Government Committee and the PTA.","In 1947 the County Board proposed rezoning land near Seven Corners for the construction of Willston Apartments, a large unwanted apartment complex that would dramatically increase the community’s population. With plenty of support, Anne Wilkins led the opposition to the rezoning. Nevertheless, the County Board rezoned it, and her defeat inspired Wilkins to get more involved with politics to instigate change.","In 1950, Anne and Donald acted as leaders in the campaign to change the inefficient form of the county government. Under the old form, voters separately elected all heads of government, the county suffered a lack of budget control, and the government was unprepared for the rapid influx of population in the area. Through their involvement with the Federation of Citizens Association and League of Women Voters, they successfully won this campaign. On November 5, 1950 Fairfax County voters approved the county executive form of government to be implemented in 1952.","In 1951 with the help of the League of Women Voters, Wilkins set up a grassroots campaign to get her elected to the Board of Supervisors. She successfully acquired the Democratic nomination for supervisor in the Falls Church District over incumbent C.B. Runyon. She went on to win the general election over Republican Frank Clem, which made her the only woman board member in Virginia at that time. In 1955 she ran for reelection in the Mason District defeating Republican James L. Deaver, and again in 1959. In 1958, she served as the board’s first female chairman and again in 1960 and 1961. She lost her campaign for a fourth term in 1963 to Republican Stanford E. Parris.","Wilkins accomplished a tremendous amount of progress in her twelve years on the Board and is credited for single-handedly shaping the direction of Fairfax County’s growth and development. During her first year on the Board in 1952, Wilkins oversaw the implementation of the county executive form of government. During the change, elected officials transitioned into appointed offices.","As one of the first advocates for a countywide master plan, she immediately initiated the master plan studies which resulted in the county’s first long-range Master Plan for land use. The Master Plan formed the basis for all future development in the county. While on the board, she planned and built a county-wide sewer and water system, set up modern county police and fire departments, provided garbage collecting services, and created guidelines for storm drainage. She helped build modern schools, improved school standards, aided in the formation of George Mason University, and successfully led Fairfax County through integration despite substantial resistance. In addition to setting up a modern public health department and constructing new clinics, Wilkins helped establish Fairfax Hospital, the county’s first hospital. Wilkins also fought a losing battle for annexation of the City of Fairfax.","Wilkins served on the Planning Commission and involved herself in many land-use and zoning issues. She convinced the federal government of moving the proposed metropolitan area airport from Burke to Chantilly. The government had already purchased the land in Burke for the construction of the airport, despite major protest from the community. After consulting soil scientists, Wilkins discovered that Burke had insufficient soil and an abundant amount of granite that would be costly to remove for the construction of runway foundations. The Chantilly location had adequate soil which would prove to be more economical for construction. While the government later cited the traffic pattern for moving the airport to Chantilly, her argument convinced them enough to cease pursuing the Burke location and re-evaluate their plans. She later successfully lobbied for a sufficient right of way for the Dulles Toll Road.","While on the Board of Supervisors, Wilkins also acted as a charter member of the Washington Metropolitan Regional Conference, now known as the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. She served on several of its committees including Transportation in which she laid the groundwork for future development of the Metro. While on the Water Supply and Pollution Abatement Committee, she succeeded in cleaning up the Potomac River and adopted water quality standards. As Chairman of the Civil Defense and Public Safety Committee she sought standards for protection against the effects of nuclear weapons.","When she lost reelection in 1963, Wilkins drifted away from politics. She became a real estate broker with Edward R. Carr, Inc. handling Carr’s land and commercial sales in Springfield and Annandale. In 1972 she started her own real estate business, Anne Wilkins \u0026 Associates, and went on to make a major land sale that became the planned community of Lake Ridge in Prince William County.","After leaving politics, her family suffered multiple tragedies. In 1966, the Alexandria Federal Court convicted Donald Wilkins of income tax evasion. Accused of submitting fraudulent tax returns that cheated the government out of almost $23,000, Wilkins served a brief prison sentence. Anne had filed joint returns with her husband but the government did not charge her with misconduct. In 1977, Wilkins’ son, John, died suddenly of an aneurysm at age 33. Anne retired from her real estate business in 1993 and moved to Merry Point, Virginia. She died at her home of breast cancer on September 9, 1996.","Series 1: Biographical Materials, 1935-1972 ","Sub-Series 1-1: Personal Records, 1936-1995, Box 1 \nThis series contains college transcripts; biographical information; records of affairs booklet; a birthday poem to Anne Wilkins; Anderson family reunion address book; and a handwritten excerpt from the book Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss.

Embassy (U.S.) ","Hugh Lee Robertson was born on February 12, 1927 in Takoma Park, Maryland to Catherine M. and Eppa P. Robertson. After his parents divorced in 1930, his grandmother, Catherine L. Manning, raised him. Manning was philatelic curator of the Smithsonian Institute from 1922 to 1951, the first woman outside the sciences to achieve the rank of Assistant Curator.","Robertson moved to Arlington, Virginia with his grandmother and attended Washington-Lee High School. In 1944, he quit school and joined the Navy as a Fireman First Class (EM striker) and earned the nickname “Rebel”. During World War II he served on tank landing ships in the Pacific arena including the USS Sphinx (LST-963) in 1944 and the USS Orvetta (IX-157) in 1946.","At age 19, he married high school sweetheart Ruby Lee Binsted on October 19, 1946. The couple moved into government housing in Arlington, Virginia. Around the same time, Robertson enrolled as a student at the National School of Photography on 1005 E. Street, N.W. In the early 1950s, Robertson worked as a commercial photographer for Ackad Studios on Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington D.C. He snapped photos of celebrities, politicians, embassy officials, weddings, and even traditional studio portraits for Ackad.","In 1954, the Robertsons moved to 6907 Pine Crest Avenue in McLean, Virginia in the West McLean subdivision. Robertson joined the Fairfax County Fire Department on June 1, 1955 as a Fire Dispatcher, becoming one of its first paid employees. When a person called the emergency number, Robertson answered and dispatched the fire equipment. Simultaneously, Robertson also volunteered with the McLean Volunteer Fire Department. In September 1976, he retired as a Captain.","After retiring, he and his wife volunteered at the McLean Treasure Trove, a consignment shop which benefited Fairfax Hospital. Always an avid collector, Robertson frequently visited yard sales collecting “historical” items. At some point he acquired an original cornerstone from the Fairfax Courthouse (now on display at the Fairfax Museum and Visitors Center) and three of the four original plaques from the long lost four-sided stone marker commemorating the 1863 Battle of Sangster Station (now on display at the Fairfax Station Railroad Museum).","Hugh Robertson died on October 26, 2005.

Included in this series are photographs of fire vehicles from the Bailey’s Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department, Franconia Volunteer Fire Department, Lorton Volunteer Fire Department, McLean Volunteer Fire Department, and the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department as well as the fire board at the Central Fire Control Station. Photos of the groundbreaking of the Reston Fire Station and dedication of the Vienna Fire Station are also included as well as scenes from the Virginia State Firemen’s School. Subjects also include car accidents, crime scenes, fire scenes, and portraits of firefighters. Some of the negatives for these prints may be found in sub-series 3-1.","Sub-Series 2-2: Crane Co., Undated \nCrane Co., a plumbing and heating supply firm, opened a new Washington branch location at 10700 Hanna Street in Beltsville, Maryland in 1954. The firm previously operated its Washington branch at 1225 I Street N.W. since the 1920s. The new building had an enclosed warehouse area, offices, display room and was located near a railroad siding. It can be presumed that the photographs in this series are of the newly opened building. Of particular note is that Kahlil Daoud Ackad was the Washington branch manager for Crane Co. from 1950-1959. K.D. Ackad was the brother of Abdon Daoud Ackad, owner of Ackad Studios of which Hugh Robertson photographed for.","Sub-Series 2-3: Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, 1948-c.1950s \nPhotographs in this series depict scenes from Washington D.C., Maryland or Virginia.

Robertson served on tank landing ships in the Pacific Arena from 1944-1946. The photographs in this series depict post-war China and Japan. Subjects include Qingdao, China; Tokyo, Japan; Yokosuka, Japan; and Mount Fuji. The photographs are dated 1947 in what appear to be Robertson’s handwriting.

These photographs were taken by Robertson while he was in photography school and later working for Ackad Studios.","Series 3: Negatives, 1948-1959","Sub-Series 3-1: Fairfax County Fire Department, 1954-1959 \nRobertson took many photographs throughout his career of scenes within the Fairfax County Fire Department.

Included in this series are photographs of fire vehicles from the Bailey’s Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department, Franconia Volunteer Fire Department, Lorton Volunteer Fire Department, McLean Volunteer Fire Department, and the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department as well as the fire board at the Central Fire Control Station.

The firm previously operated its Washington branch at 1225 I Street N.W. since the 1920s. The new building had an enclosed warehouse area, offices, display room and was located near a railroad siding. It can be presumed that the photographs in this series are of the newly opened building. Of particular note is that Kahlil Daoud Ackad was the Washington branch manager for Crane Co. from 1950-1959. K.D. Ackad was the brother of Abdon Daoud Ackad, owner of Ackad Studios of which Hugh Robertson photographed for.","Sub-Series 2-3: Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, 1948-c.1950s \nPhotographs in this series depict scenes from Washington D.C., Maryland or Virginia.

Also included are a series of photos of a church cornerstone laying service presided over by Archbishop Michael, leader of the Greek Church in North and South America. The Washington D.C. church depicted is either Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church or St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church both of which were presided over by Archbishop Michael between 1951 and 1952.","Sub-Series 2-4: Embassy of Pakistan, Washington, D.C., c.1953-1955 \nIn October 1954, when Hugh L.

Earlier that year in May, he photographed the wedding of Capt. Azhar H. Sadik and Dr. Iffat Nafis Shoaib, daughter of Mohamed Shoaib, the Executive Director of the World Bank, in the Pakistan Embassy. Photographs also included in this series are of a social event at the Pakistan Embassy of which Vice President Richard M. Nixon and his wife, Pat Nixon, attended. Of particular note is the photograph of Richard Nixon smoking a hookah.","Sub-Series 2-5: Dumont Television Network Unknown Television Episode, c. 1950s \nPhotographs in this series depict the filming of a television episode from an unknown DuMont Television Network series.

Subjects include Qingdao, China; Tokyo, Japan; Yokosuka, Japan; and Mount Fuji. The photographs are dated 1947 in what appear to be Robertson’s handwriting. The U.S. Navy discharged Robertson in 1946, so it is possible that these photographs are misdated or not even photographed by Robertson himself.","Sub-Series 2-7: Unidentified, Undated \nPhotographs in this series are unidentified and feature portraits, houses, weddings, social events, and scenery.
