PURCHASE OF SUNKEN ROAD PROPERTY
The Bursar reported that the vacant property on Sunken Road, immediately opposite the entrance
to Brompton, has been recently sold to Mr. Russell Sullivan, who plans to construct an apartment
building on the property. This type of building, the Bursar stated, would present an unattractive
condition in this particular location because of the historic value of the property, which is
bounded on the Sunken Road side by the historic stone wall which was standing at the time of the
Civil War. The Director of the Budget was consulted to see if funds could be made available for the
purchase of the property. He authorized Mary Washington College to offer up to $15,000, to be paid
from the Governor's Contingency Fund, for the property, subject to the approval of the President of
the University and the Governor. The President of the University approved this proposed purchase
At the present time there is no definite commitment from the owner of the property that he will
sell the property. However, he has left the Bursar with the impression that he would accept $1,000
more than he had paid for the property, or about $14,200, provided he can obtain another location for
the construction of his proposed apartment building.
Accordingly, in the absence of the Chancellor, the Bursar proposed and the Board adopted the
following resolution
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
Mary Washington College be and it is hereby authorized to purchase the vacant property on Sunken
Road, immediately opposite the entrance to Brompton, for a sum not to exceed $15,000, subject to the
approval of the Governor, provided, however, that the form of the purchase agreement shall be subject
to the approval of Special Counsel of the University
CITY RESERVOIR
The Bursar reported that he has been informed by the City Attorney of Fredericksburg that the
contractual agreement for an easement to be granted to the City for the relocation of the City
Reservoir from its present location to a designated location on the College golf course was approved
by the City Council at its regular meeting on Tuesday, 10 December 1963. When the University's
Special Counsel has completed his review of the agreement, the instrument will then be ready for
the President's signature under the authority of the resolution adopted by the Board on 20 April
1963 (Minutes, Board of Visitors, University of Virginia, No. 12, 20 April 1963, p. 399).
