3. Architectural Description Architectural Style(s): _____Vernacular__________________________________________ If the property was designed by an architect, landscape architect, engineer, or other professional, please list here: _________________________________________________________ If the builder is known, please list here: _______________________________________ Date of construction (can be approximate): ___c.1906, 1941, c.1945, c.1965, c.1970______________ Narrative Description: In the space below, briefly describe the general characteristics of the entire property, such as its current use (and historic use if different), as well as the primary building or structure on the property (such as a house, store, mill, factory, depot, bridge, etc.). Include the architectural style, materials and method(s) of construction, physical appearance and condition (exterior and interior), and any additions, remodelings, or other alterations.

The warehouse is located in the southern-most corner of the parcel. Due to the configuration of the parcel between the railroad and Hermitage Road, the building has a trapezoidal shape with the southern-most corner at an acute angle and the northern corners at right angles. With its irregular form, use as a warehouse, and multiple entrances, the building appears to use the west elevation as its primary façade. The vernacular warehouse is constructed of red brick laid in a 5:1 American bond. The building features slightly recessed panels with stepped brickwork at the top of each bay. Given the irregular shape of the building, the number of these bays vary by elevation with ten on the east elevation, facing Hermitage Road, and five on the southwest, west, and north elevations. Located within these bays are the building’s fenestration and entrances. On the first story, the fenestration largely consists of one-over-one double-hung sash vinyl windows. On the second and third floor of each bay are two small, segmentally arched windows; six of these windows on the second floor of the east elevation have been elongated and partially infilled with glass blocks. On the west elevation, facing the parking lot, are two entrances. As indicated by Sanborn maps, the southernmost entrance on this elevation was the primary entrance into the building. This consists of heavy half-glazed double doors that are approached by concrete steps and a stoop with a metal railing. This entrance is currently used to access RVA Auctions. Located on the north elevation is an exterior brick chimney stack and four entrances at ground level. Large metal double doors fill the centered bay. The remaining entrances are single, half glazed doors, one of which replaces a former window. One of these doors is currently used to access an interior office for Cobb Lumber. Slightly off-center on the east elevation is a painted advertisement for Richmond Foundry & Manufacturing Co. between the first and second stories. Centered below this advertisement is a large entrance now infilled with brick and glass block. In the bay immediately to its south, a window has been elongated to create an entrance; the remainder of the opening is bricked in. Sanborn maps indicate that these entrances are not original to the building. The three doorways on the southwest elevation are raised. Sanborn maps indicate that a spur of the SAL extended directly alongside of this elevation of the building. Cars on this spur could

have been loaded directly from the buildings using these raised doorways. Two of these entrances consist of large metal doors, one of which now has a concrete loading dock covered by a shed roof. A third entrance is located at the southern end of the elevation. It is a single, half-glazed wood door with a concrete surround and a transom in the form of a sliding window. Additional painted advertisements for Richmond Foundry have been removed from the southwest elevation and has faded from the south elevation. A stepped parapet wall rises on the north and southwest elevations, as well as the smaller south elevation. A shallow pitched gable roof covers the building. Interior The interior of the warehouse is largely characterized by open, mostly unfinished spaces. The majority of the brick walls are exposed as is the post and beam construction and piping. The predominant floor material on the first level consists of concrete while on the second and third stories it is wood plank. In addition to the large enclosed stairwell on each floor, the first story is partially broken up into modern office space and the second story has one rom sectioned off. Two entrances are currently used to access the brick warehouse. On the north elevation, an entrance leads to office space for Cobb Lumber. Filling the northeast quadrant of the first floor, the space is partitioned into modern offices featuring drywall and horizontal wood sided walls, some drop ceilings, fluorescent lighting, and a mix of hardwood, carpet, and linoleum flooring. At the entrance, a spiral metal staircase accesses the second floor. The hallway dividing the office space in half connects to a separate office and the remainder of the first floor currently occupied by RVA Auctions. The entrance at the juncture of the west and southwest elevations accesses a stairway in a large entry. This area is enclosed by drywall and from it are two large open display areas. The exposed brick walls in these display areas continue to have their metal hardware intact to slide the doors open and closed. In the southernmost end of the first floor, a metal ladder leads to a trap door in the ceiling. The second floor is largely open with a single room, other than the stairwell, sectioned off in the northeast corner. Outside of this room is a half wall creating a walkway to the upper limits of the spiral staircase. The metal ladder visible in the southern corner of the first floor continues through the second to another trap door in the ceiling. At the stairwell on the third floor, the ceiling joists are enclosed with drywall. From this area a small metal door leads to a metal ladder to access the roof. A second metal door leads to the remainder of the space which is uninterrupted by the creation of rooms.

Briefly describe any outbuildings or secondary resources (such as barns, sheds, dam and mill pond, storage tanks, scales, railroad spurs, etc.), including their condition and their estimated construction dates.

To the north of the three-story brick warehouse and administrative building are a number of historic and nonhistoric secondary buildings including the front façade of a fire-destroyed machine shop (c.1906), the former brass foundry and addition (1941), a Quonset hut (1965), metal storage warehouse (c.1974), and three sheds (c.1968). The Quonset hut and metal storage warehouse are both set behind the machine shop brick façade and within the former shell of that building. Dirt and gravel roadways surround the secondary buildings and the remnants of a railroad spur are at the southwest side of the lot. The c.1906 machine shop façade is a stepped brick wall, similar in design to the warehouse, is opposite the brick warehouse’s north elevation. Laid in a 6:1 American bond the wall is divided into six bays by slightly recessed panels topped with stepped brick. There had been two centered entrances, one of which has been infilled with brick and concrete block. The segmentally arched window openings have also been filled with concrete block. The wall rises to the height of approximately two stories before it ends in a stepped gable. Along Hermitage Road, a low painted brick and concrete block wall extends from the brick wall. It is possible that the brick wall is the remains of the original machine building that been in this location and burned in 1959. Behind this wall are two buildings. The older, c.1965, is a metal Quonset hut. The second building is a metal and concrete block warehouse constructed to its east between 1968 and 1974. The Quonset hut is set back from the brick wall while the warehouse is set against the brick wall thereby forming a courtyard at the buildings’ entrances. A brick and concrete wall forms a fourth, west, side to the courtyard. The concrete block and metal warehouse is one-story with an entrance from the courtyard on its west elevation. A metal frame supports the exposed shallow gable roof. The roof and portions of the walls are clad with corrugated metal, some areas of which are not opaque thereby providing natural light through these apparent windows and skylights. The building now serves as a warehouse for Cobb Lumber. The corrugated metal Quonset hut has an entrance on its south elevation. Also on the south elevation are two window openings and foundry equipment. The interior of the Quonset hut has been insulated and walls lined with plywood. A couple of fixed windows on the north and south elevations provide natural light. Fluorescent lights provide additional illumination. The building now serves as a workshop for Cobb Lumber. West of the Quonset hut is the brass foundry designed by Carneal, Johnston & Wright in 1941. A flat roof connects the west wall of the courtyard with the foundry; this portion had originally been enclosed. The remainder of the foundry is intact. The glass and metal walls rest on a raised brick foundation; much of the glass has been painted. The building has a front gable roof which rises in


2/25/2020

the back half of the building for a clearstory. The south elevation has been altered to allow for a smaller pedestrian entrance and a larger truck entrance. The interior of the foundry is a large open space with the structure exposed. Natural light from the walls of windows and clearstory fills the area. The foundry is currently used as a warehouse by Cobb Lumber, as is advertised on the front elevation. At the northwest end of the foundry is a one-story addition likely constructed c.1945. This flat roofed addition is constructed of a variety of materials, brick, concrete block, and wood. Likewise the fenestration varies in form and size of fixed windows. This addition is currently used as storage by Cobb Lumber. Also on the parcel are three, one-story sheds that were likely constructed in the 1960s. At the southern juncture of the foundry and its addition is a concrete block shed with a front gable roof clad with corrugated metal. There are double metal doors on the south elevation. West of this building is a metal shed with a side-gable roof clad with standing seam metal. On the south elevation is a large metal sliding door, accessed by a low concrete ramp, and a smaller pedestrian entrance. Immediately west of the foundry’s addition is a long, narrow one-story metal shed with a front gable roof, clad with standing seam metal. Double metal doors are on the south elevation. Small, covered window openings line the west elevation and a concrete loading dock rises along this elevation from the north to the south.

4. Property’s History and Significance In the space below, briefly describe the history of the property, such as significant events, persons, and/or families associated with the property. Please list all sources of information used to research the history of the property. (It is not necessary to attach lengthy articles or family genealogies to this form.) If the property is important for its architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, or other aspects of design, please include a brief explanation of this aspect.

By the early twentieth century, industries in Richmond were flourishing. To continue their success it became necessary to acquire more space for expansion and to have easy access to railroad lines. As such, many began to open shops on the formerly vacant fields in the outskirts of town. By this time, the area north of Broad Street and west of Richmond College became desirable for manufactories. Richmond Foundry and Manufacturing Company was one among sixteen companies located there by 1906.i Richmond Foundry and Manufacturing Co. received its charter in April 1902 to “conduct a foundry and machine shop, to purchase, own and sell inventions and patents, machines, plants, factories, apparatus, etc.”. ii They would make drainage fittings and other materials used in general contracting work.iii At the time of its founding, the company was located at 18th and Cary streets.iv In 1906, the company purchased a lot on the west side of Hermitage Road adjacent to the Seaboard Air Line railroad for a cost of $4,000.v In the newly developed industrial area of Richmond, Richmond Foundry was the third largest employer, tied with Eagle Paper Co., with 200 employees.vi The original complex for Richmond Foundry and Manufacturing Co. included a three story brick warehouse (extant), a foundry, a long building connected to the foundry housing a cleaning room, grinding and storage room, and machine shop, and a lavatory also connected to the foundry. The arrangement of the works is such that the castings passed in regular progression from the foundry to the machine shop and thence to the warehouse. The proximity to the railroad allowed for easier shipment of materials to and from the plant. As the business grew, so too did its compound.vii In 1941, Carneal, Johnston & Wright designed a Core Building and a Brass Foundry building (extant). A fire in 1959 destroyed the Machine Shop which would be replaced by a metal Quonset hut (extant) and metal warehouse (extant). Following the end of use by Richmond Foundry, the original foundry building, cleaning room, and grinding and storage room would be demolished. In addition to its primary use for the casting of plumbing supplies, Richmond Foundry became pivotal in the production of grenades for use by the Department of the Army. Unlike previous years during which the City of Richmond secured “new industries of a purely military nature”, during World War II existing manufactories adapted their use to include the production of war goods.viii Much of the time the public remained unaware of changes in production as “many firms were reticent about their activities or were bound to secrecy for national security reasons”.ix At the beginning of World War II, the War Production Board froze the release of critical materials in order to stop or limit the production of so-called “nonessential” businesses to facilitate conversion to arms output. These materials included various metals, chemicals, and fabrics and were channeled into armaments and essential civilian output.x Production was especially stepped up at the final years of the war and in 1944, Richmond Foundry was identified as one of thirteen plants in the state producing ammunition.xi Along with the Cameron Stove Company and Hankins and Johann, the Richmond Foundry produced grenades.xii


2/25/2020

In addition to producing deck fittings for ships, Richmond Foundry made high explosive grenades during World War II. They would come to produce at least two types of practice grenades, the M21 and M30. Following the war they would become the sole producer of the M21 practice grenade.xiii The M21 practice grenade was used for training in handling a loaded fragmentation, or ‘pineapple’, hand grenade MkII. It was referenced by the Department of the Army in 1945.xiv This design was based on the classic British No. 18/No. 36 series of grenades used in both World Wars.xv While fragmentation grenades were powerful and deadly those made for training had a hole in the bottom, for the insertion of black powder, which would be closed with a cork and sealed.xvi The M30 grenade was used for training in handling of grenades M26A1 and M26. Again as training grenades, while the body was not loaded with high-explosive filler they may have a small amount of black powder charge.xvii The M30 was noted in the Department of the Army Ammunition Data Sheets for hand grenades in 1977 and 1994. The Lone Star Ordnance Plant in Texas was the other producer of the M30.xviii Following World War II, Richmond Foundry would continue production of practice grenades while continuing their production of plumbing supplies and other general supplies attaining multiple patents. In 1959, the plant was rocked by a devastating fire that led to the nearly complete destruction of one of the older factories on the property, the paint and machine shop. At the time, the fire was estimated to have caused between $100,000 and $500,000 in damage. The foundry continued operations, although began a period of transition. The following year, the company was merged with Woodruff & Edwards, Inc., a foundry company based in Chicago, Illinois. At that time, the Richmond Foundry & Manufacturing Co. was renamed the Hermitage Foundry and Manufacturing Corporation in city records, but appears to have been popularly still known as Richmond Foundry. Two years later, the company was once again renamed Wade, Inc. and appears to have remained affiliated with the Chicago corporation. In 1964, it became a subsidiary of Josman Manufacturing Company, a producer of plumbing parts. In 1965, the property was formally sold to Shaker Realty, however it continued to operate as the Richmond Foundry.xix Under new management, the fire-damaged building was replaced and a variety of other new buildings were constructed, although the development differed substantially from the earlier buildings. Within the shell of the fire-damaged building, of which the front and side façade along Hermitage Road remained, a metal Quonset hut was installed in 1965. A few years later, further construction occurred within the shell of the original building, consisting of a metal clad building set on the brick façade along the road. A number of smaller sheds and ancillary structures were also built to the west of the brass foundry in the 1960s. During this time, the company continued to produce practice grenades for Vietnam, as well as general purpose plumbing and other mechanical parts. By 1972, the Richmond Foundry was found to be one of the eight highest contributors to air pollution in the city.xx In response, the foundry developed and produced its own controls. President V.W. Belt and engineer Don Robertson designed a system based on the “wet scrubber”, a system in which dirty air and gas pass through water to remove impurities.xxi Richmond city directories indicate that Richmond Foundry and Manufacturing Co. continued to operate from their Hermitage Road location until 1987. At that time, the foundry was closed and the property sold to Dolan International Trucks, Inc.xxii In 1990, Dolan sold the property to Foundry Associates who continue to own the property at present, although split it into two parcels in 1997. Since then, the lower parcel, is leased as mixed use with office and storage space in the


2/25/2020

three-story warehouse building, and Cobb Lumber a Richmond-based lumber provider in the former brass foundry and other spaces. The north parcel was sold to the City of Richmond who demolished the foundry buildings on that portion of the property and constructed a new facility for the Richmond Ambulance Authority. The former Richmond Foundry & Manufacturing Company complex remains a significant reminder of the industrial heritage of Scott’s Addition and Richmond as a whole. From the time the plant was established in 1906 through 1960, the complex operated as a locally-owned foundry and metal manufacturer that not only produced a variety of plumbing and mechanical parts under a number of corporate patents, but was a significant producer of small arms, particularly hand grenades for the Department of the Army. The Richmond Foundry was the major producer of the practice M21 “pineapple” –type grenade and one of just two foundries in the nation that produced the M30-type practice grenade. Extant grenades of either of these types with the foundry’s code “RFX” stamped on them are now considered collectors’ items of military history. Although the foundry continued to produce these grenades through the 1970s and the Vietnam-era, the corporate make-up and physical plant of the foundry changed substantially following a fire in 1959. At that time, the company was merged with a national concern based in Chicago, and ceased exist as a local Richmond entity. The physical stock also changed at that time as the large paint and machine shop building was destroyed by fire and from that point on, new construction consisted of cheap corrugated metal buildings and a Quonset hut as opposed to the large, architect-designed foundry buildings built previously. Several additional buildings formerly associated with the foundry operation were demolished in 1997 by the City of Richmond, however the buildings that remain retain a high level of historical integrity and continue to convey their function and association as a metal foundry, set amongst other industrial properties and a railroad corridor. The complex was recently evaluated in 2016 and recommended to be not eligible for listing in the NRHP due to “not reflecting the work of a master” or having any “known association with any significant event or person,” however, this assessment was made at a Phase I level of investigation for a compliance project, and did not take into consideration the more in-depth history and analysis provided above. Because of the significant industrial heritage and associated construction that the Richmond Foundry & Manufacturing Company complex represents, it is recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP with local significance under Criterion A in the areas of Commerce/Industry and Military and Criterion C for its representative industrial architecture, with a period of significance of 1906 through 1960.
