\"Architectural<\/a><\/center>
\nFriday Photos is back this week with just over 60 photos on the newer side of history. Most images are of architectural details<\/a>. Also in this batch are a few photos of Tim Youmans presenting at the June Lunch and Learn lecture, a few pictures of the National Ave. roundabout construction last summer, and the Braddock Street 7-Eleven<\/a> shortly before it was demolished. Catch all the new additions at the top of the PHW Flickr photostream<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Included in those new additions are also sixteen interior photos of 214 Sharp Street<\/a>, once the home of John Markell (d. 1865), a local carpenter. The house has a number of fine interior features you would expect from a woodworker’s home. For those with the time and inclination to do some light legal reading in Reports of Cases in the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia<\/i><\/a>, John Markell’s will was contested to clarify the ownership of the house, yard, and garden at 214 Sharp (Warwick) Street after his widow’s death. Although not as sensational a reading as the various Baker Chocolate court cases, it is an interesting look at the personal property owned by the Markells and a valuable source of family names and relationships for researchers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
