Three Rare Confederate Pins - Post Civil War / Home for Confederate Women Pinback
Description: These pins were made & worn in the 1920's to promote fund raising for the "Home for Confederate Women" in Richmond, Va. Read the following: Handsome scaled-down version of the White House was completed in 1932 to serve wives, widows, daughters, and sisters, of Confederate veterans. Following a fire at the previous home downtown, Mrs. Andrew Jackson Montague, wife of the governor, campaigned for a fireproof facility. Sufficient funds were obtained by 1929; the site chosen was on the grounds of Camp # 1 of the Confederate veterans (located in the Boulevard Historic District). The design was provided by Richmond architect Merrill Lee. The choice of the White House as a model is not without irony. The White House, however, traditionally has been associated with domesticity and its image offered a stately setting for these revered ladies. With eligible occupants becoming extinct in 1980s, the property was transferred to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for conversion to studios and offices. SOLD |
