Join author and historian Amy Waters Yarsinske as she takes one final stroll through a Virginia Beach lost to time. The Oceanfront's Cottage Line, the music halls of Seaside Park and dunes so large they dwarfed the old Cape Henry lighthouse are a memory. Gone, too, are many of the city's iconic landmarks and open spaces, lost to storm, fire and the relentless onslaught of post-World War II development. With a deft hand and rare vintage images, historian Amy Waters Yarsinske recalls a time when the likes of Chuck Berry and Ray Charles played beneath the sizzling lights of the Dome and locals shagged the night away at the Peppermint Beach Club.

Reports the results of archaeological testing November 11-21, 2014. The James River Institute for Archaeology excavated 5 test units around the foundation of the ca. 1725 Lynnhaven House. The testing was part of a larger initiative to waterproof and reinforce the foundation, but every test unit showed modern disturbance, chiefly attributable to an earlier project. As a result, all features, including builder's trench, within 3' of the Lynnhaven House, have been completely obliterated. Although historical artifacts were recovered, a single posthole was the only historic feature found. (Adapted from Abstract, p. iii).
