Marion, VA: Abijah Thomas House Conceptual Site Master Plan
No full textThe goal of this project was to develop a conceptual site master plan for the Abijah Thomas house (herein referred to as the Octagon House), including it’s current grounds, and surrounding properties (to be purchased in the future) and to depict the Octagon House Foundation’s vision for a historical, educational, and cultural attraction. Further, CDAC explored opportunities to link the Octagon House to regional trail networks such as the Appalachian Trail and the Gorge Trail.
The current property is about 1 acre in size and is located at the corner of Thomas Bridge Rd and VA 657 Octagon House Rd. Several adjacent and nearby properties were included in the planning for their vision of the Octagon House. At the request of the Octagon House Foundation, one adjacent property located at the rear of the property (Richardson Property), two properties just behind the adjacent property
(another Richardson property and then an Evans property), and the two properties across the street were included when creating the conceptual site master plan. The Thomas Cemetery was also included. This public cemetery, is located within walking distance down the street from the Abijah Thomas house and contains the Thomas family graves.
The Community Design Assistance Center worked with a stakeholders group from the Octagon House Foundation to develop ideas for the conceptual site master plan. The site master plan was developed with the aim of potentially obtaining nearby site(s), but phased so that additional site(s) would not be needed to function in the near-term. The conceptual master plan can be helpful to the Octagon House Foundation, Inc. with fundraising as it will portray a visual depiction of their vision for the future

Thomas Olden House on the grounds of Drumthwacket
No full textBuilt approximately 1757 by Thomas Olden, younger brother of John Olden (see Olden Manor), this was home to Thomas, his wife Sarah, and their two children, Nathaniel and Hart. From their house�s location on the original Olden tract, they probably had a clear view of the Battle of Princeton on January 3, 1777 on the other side of Mercer Street. After the battle, Washington and some of his men purportedly came to this house asking for help with their wounded.
Firsthand encounters with the violence of war would have been shared by many other Princeton residents in December 1776 and January 1777. For nearly a month, British troops patrolled and controlled the town, scouring Princeton for revolutionaries and looting townspeople�s belongings. The Battle of Princeton tore directly through Princeton�s main road into the downtown, chasing out the British once and for all.
Charles Smith Olden, grandson of Thomas Olden and later New Jersey Governor during the Civil War, was also born here in 1799

Thomas Aldrich House
No full textWoodward describes the Thomas Aldrich House as an asymmetrical four bay Federal style house. It was moved to Power Street from 39 Benevolent Street in 1950 to make room for the Wriston Quadrangle of Brown University. While it was built by Aldrich, a painter, the house was occupied by Sarah Helen Whitman as a literary salon, seance parlor and sanitarium for her sister. Sarah Helen is best known for her relationship with Edgar Allen Poe during the 1840s when she lived in the John Reynolds House at 88 Benefit Street. The house has an excellent classical entrance with a pediment, flanking pilasters and a semi-circular fanlight.https://digitalcommons.ric.edu/smolski_images/1109/thumbnail.jp
