Sears Hill: Sustainable Neighborhood
1.
2. Sears Hill
A Livable, Sustainable Neighborhood
HSF advocates the revitalization of Staunton's historic
neighborhoods through the utilization of historic preservation
practices.
Historic preservation inherently relates to the concepts of livable
communities by promoting the preservation and restoration of
traditional neighborhood elements such as human scaled streets,
street trees, sidewalks, utilization of alleys, and of course
rehabilitation of building stock.
These elements make up the historic landscape of our
neighborhoods, defining Staunton's powerful sense of place.
3. What does "livable community" mean for Staunton’s
historic neighborhoods?
The American Institute of Architects has succinctly defined 10 elements
of a livable community easily adopted for our use.
1. Design on a Human Scale
2. Provide Choices
3. Encourage Mixed-use Development
4. Preserve Urban Centers
5. Provide Transportation options
6. Build Vibrant Public Spaces
7. Create Neighborhood Identity
8. Protect Environmental Resources
9. Conserve Landscapes
10. Design Matters

5. Grant - Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge
The initial project is to update the existing Architectural Survey information and photographs for the Sears Hill
Neighborhood. Over the next three years, HSF intends to submit a nomination for the Sears Hill Neighborhood to be placed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
A new architectural survey will be conducted under the supervision of the Executive Director of Historic
Staunton Foundation. The survey will be an ongoing effort, utilizing student interns and volunteers. This
will be an educational opportunity to engage in a grass roots preservation effort. Those participating will learn about resource survey,
architectural history and identification of architectural elements, and photography.
Architectural surveys are important community planning tools. They record existing conditions and allow the
community to understand the historic charcter and relationship of properties. Today, surveys are digitized
and technologies such as GPS and GIS may be incorporated to help create easily updated, interactive
maps. Digitization of the survey will allow consistent updates and sharing of information, therefore providing a better tool for
community planning purposes.
Steps:
1. Enter existing information into digital forms consistent with National Register Nomination
requirements.
2. Conduct an Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, updating the resulting digital forms:
•Photograph each property and the neighborhood context
•Update architectural descriptions to include changes occurring since 1976
•Obtain GPS/GIS information locating the survey information on an updated map
3. Gather, organize and digitize existing historical information to develop a written historical narrative.
ORGANIZATION: HISTORIC STAUNTON FOUNDATION
AMOUNT APPROVED: $2,000.00
PURPOSE: SEARS HILL NEIGHBORHOOD SURVEY
DURATION: JULY 1,2013-JUNE 30,2014
10. The development of Sears Hill as a residential neighborhood took place in three phases that coincided with the growth of Staunton. The
first was spurred in part, by its proximity to the major employers of the working and middle classes. Sears Hill is located immediately
south of the C&O Railroad tracks and the commercial downtown area and a few blocks west of the original location of Western State
Hospital. West Middlebrook Ave, Sears Hill Road, and Robertson Street bound it on the west, on the east by Greenville Ave, on the
north by the C&O Railroad tracks, and on the south by Gay Street.
Many of the houses appear to be similar in design or scale, however, they are made unique by decorative porch or doorway details. The
area is laid out in a fairly coherent grid plan, which helps to unify Sears Hill. The streets are similar in width; most of the houses are set
an equal distance from the street and some sort of fencing bound their small front yards. Several of the street including Winthrop,
Liberty, and East Peabody retain brick on sand walks and granite curbs.
The typical architecture of the district is Vernacular in form with Victorian, Queen Anne, and Italianate characteristics. Vernacular
houses are generally not designed by an architect and may be characteristic of a particular area. However, they typically do not exhibit
enough of those characteristics to relate to a particular architectural style.

PHASE II (1884 – 1904)
The second phase of development is known as
the Partlow Addition. This addition is located
east of Nelson Street, west of the B&O Railroad,
south of Hampton Street and north of Gay
Street.
As Sears Hill grew along with Staunton, the
neighborhood became a self-sustaining
community that included a church, grocery
stores and a firehouse. The Second
Presbyterian Chapel was built in 1893 and was
originally located on the east side between
Peabody and Liberty Street.
In the same year, a volunteer fire company
was started and by 1896, the company had its
own building that appears to be located on the
corner of Hotchkiss and Gooch Street.
There were also several grocery stores located
at various residents’ homes, including 20 Gooch
Street, 4 Nelson Street, and 517 Winthrop
Street.
The houses built during this time had many
Victorian and Queen Anne characteristics and
the second two houses on the tour are
representative of these trends.
608 Winthrop Street, built between 1884 –
1904
This house has Queen Anne characteristics
including a complex gable rood and a gable with
fish-scale shingles, an asymmetrical facade with
a one bay entrance porch with balusters and a
bay window.
(4. picture of “512 Winthrop street, built
between 1884-1904)
This house has Victorian characteristics
including a hipped roof with small brackets in
cornice, a full-length front porch with sawn
millwork balusters and decoration on porch and
clapboard siding.

13. PHASE I (1866 – 1884)
(map of Sears Hill, phase 1 shaded in, not credited)
The first phase of development of Sears Hill
began with the construction of the Sears
House by Dr. Robert Lewis Madison in
1866. It is the Tuscan villa style of a
bracketed cottage inspired by A.J. Downing.
The namesake of the house, Dr. Barnas
Sears, bought it in 1867. He added a porch
and a five-sided, three-story tower on the
west end of the house several years after it
was constructed.
(line drawing of Sears Hill house)
Newton Argenbright and J.J. Ladd also built
houses on Winthrop Street in Sears Hill in
1869 and 1875 respectively. By 1877,
development ran from Middlebrook Road to
Winthrop Street, including the construction
on the south side of Garber Street and along
Hampton Street.
The house built during this time were
medium size, two-to-three bay, two-story
buildings. The majority had one-story
porches running the width of the house with
minimal ornamental millwork. Clapboard
siding and a gabled, metal roof were also
common.
The first two houses on the tour provide
examples of architectural styles that were
common during the first phase of
development in Sears Hill.

facings.

and a bay window

between 1904 – 1909)
This house has Italianate characteristics
including a full=length porch with decorative
brackets and sawn millwork balusters and
clapboards.
PHASE III (1904 – 1921)
(map of Sears Hill, phase 3 shaded in, not credited)
The third phase of development occurred with the division of Captain James Marquis’
property located east of Winthrop St., north of Hampton St., west of the B&O Railroad
tracks, and south of Sears Hill Road. Half of this property was developed between
1904 – 1909.
The homes built during this time were very similar to the pre-existing houses in the
neighborhood: two stories, metal roofs, millwork along the porch, and clapboard
siding and often reflected Italianate and Victorian characteristics. The homes built
between 1921-1929 were slightly different, there were one-story, three bay structures
and shingles on the roofs, although clapboard siding was still popular.
The last two houses on the tour represent the 1904 – 1909 development.
(5. picture of “419 Marquis Street, built between
1904 – 1909)
This house has Victorian characteristics including a L-
shaped gable roof, decorative millwork on the corner
entrance porch and clapboard siding.
