Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park papers, 1996-2009.

The collection consists of three boxes containing material saved by Joan Rokus concerning Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park. They are filed alphabetically by folder titles Rokus used. Some records such as minutes, committee reports, staff reports, correspondence, etc. are incomplete. The property was given to the Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County by deed of subdivision and of gift on 28 March 1996 by William Randall Hamblet and Susan Swink Hamblet, his wife; Susan Harper Hamblet; and Matthew Lewis Hamblet, but there is no written record of the founding of Friends of the Stone House. The earliest document noting the existence of Friends of the Stone House is a 1999 list of nine members with a handwritten notation that it does not include the board of directors or the advisory board members. This indicates that the group was already organized even though there were few members. There follow lists of the boards for the years 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003. The collection includes architectural plans drawn by John Milner Associates, Inc. of Alexandria, Virginia. with that firm's estimated costs for the proposed work. There is a plat of the property dated 10 August 2001.That survey was done by Patton Harris Rust Associates of Leesburg, Virginia. There are also photographs of Lafayette Day on 2 September 2000, presentation of a painting of the building to the Harper Park Middle School, and of a presentation made at the Loudoun campus of George Washington University. There are also miscellaneous photographs of the building under construction and of the finished exterior.
