Brick_Wood_Stone_Land_Water_Measurement A second tract of land was bought in 1820 that bordered the Three Notch’d road and the forty-three and three quarter acres parcel that the Perrys had sold to the Central College. This second tract greatly increased the holdings of the University but its purchase contributed to the severe financial drain faced by the institution. Alexander Garrett, Estimate of University Costs, 7 February 1820, ViU:JCC; see also Cabell, Early History of the University of Virginia, 179-80. Brockenbrough apparently adapted Garrett’s estimate when drafting an estimate to be enclosed in the university’s report to the Literary Fund in the fall of 1820.
Brick_Wood_Stone_Land_Water_Measurement The Three Notch’d Road ran from Charlottesville to Rockfish Gap and served as the outer boundary for the April land purchase of 1825. The 1825 land agreement permitted Jefferson to re-establish the bed of the public road along the new outlying boundary line, causing it to pass parallel to the northern side of the University, making room for an entrance to the Rotunda and Lawn. See Brockenbrough’s agreement with Daniel A. and Mary A. Frances Piper, 22 September, Allen Dawson’s Plat of Land, 24 September, Brockenbrough’s Statement of Funds, 30 September, Brockenbrough and Daniel Piper, Contract, 8 October, Daniel A. and Mary A. Frances, Deed, 8-9 October 1824, all in ViU:PP, and Jefferson’s Plat of Land, ca 8 October 1824, in ViU:TJ; see also #20-02 in Lasala, “Thomas Jefferson’s Designs for the University of Virginia.” The visitors ratified both purchases at their meeting on 4 October (see Board of Visitors Minutes, that date, in PPAmP:UVA Minutes). new three notch’d road charlottesville
