Abstract
This collection consists of 46 3"x5" color photographs, taken by Steve Nicklin in approximately 1992. The images capture
the exterior of outbuildings and the grounds of the 3.5 acre Kirkpatrick estate as well as the interior and exterior of the
main house.
In 1952, Herbert Kirkpatrick (1895-1976) purchased 12.5 acres at the southeast corner of Harrison Street, now Morven Park
Road NW, and Waterford Road, now Old Waterford Road NW, Leesburg, Virginia, from Daniel (1907-1985) and Ernestine Chamblin
(1909-1994). Aerial photography from 1957 shows the existence of improvements on the property, which had an address of 66
Morven Park Road, later readdressed to 136 Morven Park Road NW.
In 1969, Kirkpatrick and his wife Annie (1905-1993) sold the northerly 8.4 acres to Southeastern Builders, Inc. Southeastern
Builders subdivided and developed the subdivision into 28 residences along Old Waterford Road, Morven Park Road, Morven Park
Court NW, and the north side of Ayrlee Avenue NW. In 1994, the Kirpatrick children Raymond, William and Jean normalized the
boundary between Annie's estate and the .4 acre parcel belonging to Raymond at 132 Morven Park Road NW, which had originally
been part of 4 acre parcel remaining after the 1969 subdivision.
In late 1997, the Kirkpatrick heirs sold the remainder of Annie's estate to Grove at Morven Park, LLC, which subsequently
developed the property into 13 residences along Morven Park Road, the south side of Ayrlee Avenue NW, and the west end of
Daniels Street NW. Documentation indicates that demolition of the original Kirkpatrick home and outbuildings at 136 Morven
Park Road was authorized in June 1998.
This collection consists of 46 3"x5" color photographs, taken by Steve Nicklin in approximately 1992. The images capture
the exterior of outbuildings and the grounds of the 3.5 acre Kirkpatrick estate as well as the interior and exterior of the
main house.
