CARR'S HILL

The Rector reported that he had inspected the renovation of Carr's Hill on the previous day
and was very impressed with the improvements that had been made. This was the first time the
building had been renovated completely since its construction over a half century ago. He pointed
out, however, that a number of difficulties had arisen especially with respect to the plastering
in the large rooms on the first floor. Earlier in the week he had been called by the Comptroller
who reported the difficulty and stated that an additional sum of $750 was needed to make the
necessary corrections. The Rector requested that his approval of the expenditure of an additional
$750 be approved by the Board.

The following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the sum of $750, in addition to the amounts approved by the Board at its meeting on 7 October
1959, be authorized for expenditure for the renovation of the President's House at Carr's Hill.
