American Tobacco Company South Richmond Complex

AKA, Tom Walker Warehouse Group

400-800 Jefferson Davis Highway

Built, 1926-29 (Re-Drying Plant), 1936 (Stemmery), 1939 (Warehouses & Research Laboratory), 1947 (Boiler House & Garage), 1980s (Research Laboratory additions)

VDHR 127-5832

November 2019 — Stemmery & Re-Drying Plant

A sprawling campus from the Golden Age of Cigarettes.

(Rarely Seen Richmond) — Tobacco Warehouse Scene

Throughout the nineteenth century, most tobacco processing occurred at a local scale, with independent producers maintaining their own supply of tobacco and process for marketing it. As tobacco production centralized near the end of the nineteenth century, producers became increasingly concerned with the need for quality control, in order to ensure that the taste sought by the consumer was at least somewhat consistent throughout a given brand’s production. This was the beginning of the concept known as the “blend;” the combination of tobaccos (and, later, fillers) used to reliably create a particular flavor profile for a given brand of tobacco products.

The advent of maintaining a consistent blend and increasing production speed brought about challenges for older production facilities, including those in Richmond mostly clustered in the Shockoe Valley area. Most of these facilities were multi-story, elevator-serviced warehouse buildings that could contain an adequate supply of tobacco on-hand to keep up with the older, slower, cigarette-manufacturing equipment.

However, as newer high-speed cigarette manufacturing machines increased in speed and efficiency, and proprietary blends required a much larger cache of tobacco, including multiple varieties and stages of aging to be on hand, cigarette manufacturers found that their facilities were incapable of holding enough supplies of processed tobacco to maintain production.

On October 27, 1910, the American Tobacco Company paid the Manchester Land and Manufacturing Company $25,000 for the 25-acre property bound by the A.C.L. Railroad and the Petersburg Pike. At the same time, arrangements were made with the railroad to allow for the construction of rail spurs off the mainline leading into the property. Construction was begun immediately of 14 new-design, tobacco storage warehouses. The warehouses were sited throughout the property to make the most efficient use of rail access, with spurs extending along a loading dock on one side of each row of warehouses.

It was stated by the company that the sheds would be “scattered over the large area of land in order to lessen the fire hazard and will consequently render the insurance rate lower than it would be if there were only large warehouse.” It was also said that the design of the storage sheds offered a more satisfactory method of keeping tobacco than the usual warehouse. The capacity of each shed was to be about 1,200 hogsheads allowing a total storage of around 31,000,000 pounds of tobacco.

November 2019 — Warehouse

The individual buildings were a single tall story in height, eliminating the need for elevators and the resulting extra personnel necessitated by all of the additional handling. Their enormous capacity and ease of access were the essential characteristics of their design. The 14 warehouses each enclosed roughly 14,000-square feet and were built in a grid of three rows throughout the property. The wood frame of each building was clad with galvanized iron siding with large louvers open on the bottom to permit circulation of air throughout the interior. The floors were elevated and consisted of soil covered by 4-6 inches of cinders, with concrete aisles.

November 2019 — Warehouse

In 1929, the American Tobacco Company embarked on a half-million dollar expansion program at the Chesterfield Warehouses in South Richmond to increase storage, and thereby, production capabilities of Lucky Strikes. The new buildings were built in the spaces between the existing 1911 buildings to make three continuous rows of warehouse space. New brick bulkhead walls were built at the ends of the existing buildings, to reinforce them, as well as provide better fire protection. The additional warehouses were stated to increase the overall storage capacity from 31,000,000 pounds of tobacco to 50,000,000, making it one of the largest storage plants in the South.

As of the construction in 1929, the new building also became the center of leaf research for the American Tobacco Company. Originally based in Brooklyn, New York, the research department of the company was founded in 1911 and included only a few scientists whose job was to study the tobacco leaf to better understand its physical properties and ensure quality control of the tobacco purchased and used by the company. When the research department was moved to Richmond in 1929, it at first consisted of just four chemists; however the department would grow dramatically over the following decade.

By this time, the complex was also now called the Tom Walker Warehouse Group, named after the manager of the facility, T.J. Walker of Richmond.

In 1938, the Tom Walker complex underwent yet another expansion, this time fueled by the growth and prominence of the research department based there. That year, the American Tobacco Company announced that the facility would be the site of a new, state-of-the-art laboratory for the company research department. American Tobacco Company Research Laboratory

The role of the research department in the success of the American Tobacco Company became so vital that in 1938, the company announced it would open a brand new, larger laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment and a great many more researchers. The new laboratory was to accomodate five highly specialized research divisions with roles including control operations of tobacco and original research; analysis of supplies used in all processes and in packaging; tests of the physical properties of processed tobacco and cigarettes; investigation of smoke and the operations having to do with the actual use of smoking tobacco; and biological research, including studies of the effects of smoking.

(VDHR) — Unidentified Researcher at the American Tobacco Company Research Laboratory, 1952

When completed in 1939, the new research laboratory was considered the most modern and fully equipped tobacco research laboratory in the nation with high-tech equipment and an extensive reference library on tobacco containing nearly 1,700 volumes, considered one of the largest such collections at the time. The laboratory maintained a fulltime staff of one director and assistant director, 29 chemists, 2 engineers, 1 bacteriologist, 1 librarian, 11 technical personnel, and 17 assorted other staff.

(VDHR) — Unidentified Researcher at the American Tobacco Company Research Laboratory, 1952

Research included the investigation of the chemical composition and physical nature of various types of tobacco, and the specific effect of manufacturing processes upon them; investigation of the chemical and physical nature of tobacco smoke; the correlation of composition of smoke with constitutents of tobacco; investigation of the physiological significance of the constituents of the smoke of tobacco products; the development of methods for the scientific control of purchasing, processing, and blending tobaccos; and fabrication of tobacco products.

November 2019 — Research Laboratory

The new lab, as well as its staff, quickly became nationally recognized and awarded for their achievements. In 1941, both the director of the laboratory, Dr. H.H. Hanmer, and assistant director, Dr. W.R Harlan, were appointed as two of the seventeen Virginia scientists to serve as delegates to the Convention of the Alabama Academy of Science, an organization formed to stimulate scientific research in the American South while developing public interest in such work in order to create grants-in-aid for research studies.

However, by this time, the American public was becoming increasingly aware of the health hazards of smoking tobacco, brought to light by popular reports published by the American Cancer Society and Reader’s Digest. In 1951, the Lorillard Tobacco Company launched a national campaign claiming that a 1942 Consumer Reports article showed that their cigarette brand, Old Golds, was “lowest in nicotine and tars.” While this was technically true according to statistics included in the article, the point of the article had actually been that differences in tar and nicotine were insignificant when it came to the harmfulness of all cigarettes.

November 2019 — Stemmery & Re-Drying Plant

As opposed to advertising campaigns, such as that by Lorillard, that were more about bending the facts in others’ research efforts for their own benefit, other tobacco companies actually released their own counterargument articles. In 1952, the Liggett & Myers Company widely publicized the results of tests run by Arthur D. Little, Inc., showing that smoking their brand, Chesterfields, “would have no adverse effects on the throat, sinuses or affected organs.”

November 2019 — Stemmery

In 1953, executives from many of the large tobacco companies arranged a meeting in order to find a way to deal with recent scientific data pointing to the health hazards of cigarettes and plan a counterattack on these studies. The following year, these companies sponsored an industry-wide advertisement disputing evidence that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer.

In 1955, the American Tobacco Company responded through the completion of a massive expansion of the research laboratory at what was by then known as the South Richmond Complex. The expansion doubled the size of the 1939 building with additional laboratory and research space. The laboratory was expanded with specially-built and -designed equipment used to do chromatography, micro-organic analysis, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, ultraviolet and infrared spectrophotometry, electronic titrimetry, extraction, refrigerated centrifuging, and low temperature vacuum fractionations. A new radiological laboratory was equipped to use soft radiation-omitting radioisotopes and other facilities included a pilot plant, photographic dark room, cold storage room, drying room, tobacco conditioning rooms, and a library.

November 2019 — Boiler House

Research continued on many of the same subject matters although with an increase in the biological nature of tobacco as it relates to health effects and ramifications. Studies were conducted on how nicotine is formed in the growth of the tobacco plants, the nature of pyrolysis products during the burning of a cigarette, and collection and formation of volatile constituents. One advancement made by the research department at this time was the development of the compound, activated charcoal filter, first used in the company’s Tareyton brand cigarette and the mentholated filter used in Montclair cigarettes.

November 2019 — Garage

American Tobacco Company was also the first to print tar and nicotine test results on the packages of Carlton brand cigarettes at this time. While these health-related studies were being undertaken in response to the growing national awareness of the hazards of smoking, the American Tobacco research laboratory also continued to conduct research aimed at improving cigarette flavor and composition to retain their existing customers as well.

In 1994, the American Tobacco Company was acquired by Brown & Williamson, the American arm of the British American Tobacco Company. In 2004, Brown & Williamson merged with the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. (VDHR)

... and then...

November 2019 — City of Richmond seal at the DPU Ops Center

Of the original 25 acres, 14 were carved off to become the City Department of Public Utilities (DPU) Operations Center, occupying the old Research Laboratory, at the corner of Maury and Jeff Davis Highway, and its additions.

Unfortunately, that left the buildings on the 11 other acres to crumble to the state that you see in the warehouse pictures above.

November 2019 — reconstructed Warehouse building at Port City

Enter Port City and a $60 million dollar overhaul of four interconnected brick buildings and 11 former tobacco storage sheds into 291 apartments plus 23 artist studios, creating upscale apartments for workforce housing (Richmond Times-Dispatch). So the good news is that the dilapidated state of affairs along Jeff Davis should be addressed by mid-2020. The even better news is that the developer also plans to do the same for Model Tobacco right next door, which means that this corridor is, at last, getting some much-needed uplift.

The degenerate’s guide to 2017 college football TV watch ‘em ups: week 1, part 2

Welcome back for the rest of “Week 1″ of college football! I’m not sure what the dumb gimmick of calling everything from last Saturday through this Monday “Week 1″ is but it’s only bested by MLB having four days of Opening Day in sports scheduling nomenclature ignominy.

There are a million games this week but it sort of feels like bowl season because of the FSU - Alabama game. Is everything else irrelevant in national scope? Not at all. It’s just crazy that we have #3 playing #1 in the first week. I could have sworn Miami’s 31-0 beat down of FSU in 1988 was a #1 vs. #2 matchup but Miami was actually ranked sixth in that preseason.

So far we’ve seen nothing that gives us any indication of how this season is going to play out and we aren’t going to see much today that will either. But that’s no reason not to hop around like lunatics and over-react to every single big play and upset and shutout and close game. It’s all the best ever and always will be.

You already know what this is. Times are eastern. Shouts out to whoever the fuck puts together FBSchedules for making a format that’s relatively easy to copy and tweak for these posts.

Saturday, Sept. 2, 2017

Matchup Time (ET) TV

Akron at (6) Penn State Noon ABC

Look at all this pathetic MACtion going on first thing in the morning (Westsiiiiiide!!!!) on the first full day of college football in 2017. Word to the wise: don’t trust a Penn State running back to make it to the NFL unscathed.

Ball State at Illinois Noon BTN

Holy shit. This is truly awful. I think officials at the state, city and university levels all missed a big chance to cancel this game on account of the flooding in Texas.

Bowling Green at Michigan State Noon ESPNU

How bad is Michigan State, really? You can’t tell how good anybody is in week 1 but you might be able to figure out how bad they are. I can’t remember if Sparty had just one awful recruiting class or if the whole thing is about to crumble.

Kent State at (5) Clemson Noon ESPN

I can’t see Kent State and not think of that Buffalo Springfield song about the massacre. Clemson’s ridiculously stacked defensive line might actually make this fun to watch but it might also just be really sad. That’s as much thought as I can muster about this game.

Maryland at (23) Texas Noon FS1

This game makes me sad for all of the resources diverted here that could be better used on literally any other thing.

Missouri State at Missouri Noon SECN

I feel like Missouri should just drop athletics and maybe stop even being a school.

Wyoming at Iowa Noon BTN

Get in on the ground floor of thinking Josh Allen kind of sucks way before you forget who he is later in the year and start buying into the hype for his arm because you aren’t watching his games.

California at North Carolina 12:20 pm ACCN

This is a weird matchup between two teams that are starting over in very different senses of the phrase. I’ll probably give it a few minutes.

Bethune-Cookman at (18) Miami, FL 12:30 pm RSN

One of a number of games that should illustrate precisely nothing in terms of what to expect from the big name program involved. I’ll watch it because it’s Miami but I might check out once I see if Malik Rosier has developed the ability to throw a ball accurately over more than about 23″. My gut says he hasn’t.

Youngstown State at Pittsburgh 1:00 pm ACCNExtra

Qadree Ollison shouldn’t see more than 5 touches in this one before shutting down for protective purposes.

Portland State at Oregon State 2:00pm Pac-12N

I’m half sure this game already happened last week.

VMI at Air Force 2:00 pm ESPN3

This is prime drinking football.

NC State vs. South Carolina (at Charlotte, NC) 3:00 pm ESPN

An unwatchable force meets an unlikable object. Coach Boom somehow recruits like a motherfucker even though he has shown no capability to do anything positive as a head coach.

Alabama A&M at UAB 3:30 pm Stadium

UAB stands for U Are Back! The first game back as a football program should be an easy win but I honestly have no idea what they have on the roster.

(11) Michigan vs. (17) Florida (at Arlington, TX) 3:30 pm ABC

I actually like both coaches in this game and still expect to be bored to tears if I end up watching it.

Nevada at Northwestern 3:30 pm BTN

This is well scheduled because nobody should ever think of watching it and there are lots of other games on.

Temple at Notre Dame 3:30 pm NBC

I hope like hell we are seeing the last year of Brian Kelly’s coaching career but I’ve got a sneaking suspicion he’s due for a late October contract extension instead.

UTEP at (7) Oklahoma 3:30 pm FOX

Oklahoma may be fraudulent and still go 12-0 this year just because there isn’t really any coaching necessary in their conference and they’ve still got a ton of talent even with Big Game Bob gone.

William & Mary at Virginia 3:30 pm ACCNExtra

UVA has two or three “first round prospects” on their defense this year and yet I can’t help expecting this to be the only time all season where they’re favored to win a game.

Troy at Boise State 3:45 pm ESPNU

I’m passingly interested in this one because I’m not entirely sure what to think of Boise these days. Troy isn’t bereft of talent but might struggle playing pretty far from home here.

Charleston Southern at Mississippi State 4:00 pm SECN

Great chance to see Nick Fitzgerald get in 20 minutes of practice before the season starts.

Eastern Washington at Texas Tech 4:00 pm FSN

Eastern Washington’s offense isn’t totally different from Texas Tech. This could be the most Big XII game possible featuring a D1-AA program.

Kentucky at Southern Miss 4:00 pm CBSSN

Watch how stupid things can get if Kentucky picks up votes for destroying a shell of a program.

Stony Brook at (19) USF 4:00 pm ESPN3

USF is easing into this whole Charlie Strong Era. If anybody is gonna put up 100 points this week it’s USF but it won’t even feel like it counts against Stony Brook.

Western Michigan at (4) USC 5:15 pm Pac-12N

USC opens up yet another season of unfairly high expectations against a MAC school. Adjust your perception of the outcome appropriately.

Albany at Old Dominion 6:00 pm ESPN3

These two schools might also feature in a play-in game during March Madness.

James Madison at East Carolina 6:00 pm ESPN3

I still can’t believe ECU fired Ruffin McNeill. Fuck that school. Go JMacs!

NC Central at Duke 6:00 pm ACCNExtra

I’ve got NC Central straight up in this one.

Appalachian State at (15) Georgia 6:15 pm ESPN

There isn’t much you can do to prove you’re good in most week 1 games but I would not be shocked to see Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs make themselves look really bad in week 1. If that is correct, don’t mistake that as a lack of talent. It will simply be poor coaching that got them in this mess.

Miami, OH at Marshall 6:30 pm Stadium

Marshall, you may remember, is in Conference USA.

Central Arkansas at (20) Kansas State 7:00 pm K-StateHD.TV

Kansas State is ranked but playing on closed circuit TV available only on campus. Somehow this makes sense.

Eastern Kentucky at WKU 7:00 pm FloSports.TV

The winner of this game gets ownership of the Middle of Kentucky Trophy.

Hampton at Ohio 7:00 pm ESPN3

Go Hampton.

Houston at UTSA — Postponed

I believe the plan is to make this up in October or November.

Houston Baptist at Texas State 7:00 pm ESPN3

Great chance to test your skills at the popular “Guess the Division 1-A program!”

Lamar at North Texas 7:00 pm ESPN3

The Fightin’ 096ers are playing against the javelin thrower from Revenge of the Nerds. My money is on the nerd.

Liberty at Baylor 7:00 pm FS2

Watching this game is actually a Title IX violation so if you have kids and this is on your TV those kids are already ineligible to compete in NCAA-sponsored athletics. If you choose to watch this game you should not let anybody know.

Northwestern State at Louisiana Tech 7:00 pm ESPN3

Louisiana Tech, weirdly enough, lost a shitload of good players from last year’s team. I’m kind of intrigued to see what this year’s models can do for them.

SE Louisiana at UL Lafayette 7:00 pm ESPN3

Oh, yeah, this is the great battle to determine if you can figure out which direction you’re facing in Louisiana. One of college football’s most prestigious rivalries.

SE Missouri at Kansas 7:00 pm JTV

A good sign of things ahead for Kansas is that they’ve started to beat out SE Missouri for the high school cream of the crop.

Stephen F. Austin at SMU 7:00 pm ESPN3

ms621 will be at this game so if you see somebody in the crowd, that’s him. SMU might even be favored in this one so it’s pretty prime watch ‘em up filler.

UMass at Coastal Carolina 7:00 pm ESPN3

UMass is one of the lucky handful of teams that gets to play two games in “week 1.” That’s really all there is to say about this game.

Cal Poly at San Jose State 7:30 pm No TV

I guess technically I shouldn’t put this game in the post but I chuckled when I got to No TV for the TV listing.

Georgia Southern at (12) Auburn 7:30 pm SECN

I’ve got all of my money and considerable reputation riding on Jarrett Stidham getting benched at some point this season due to ineffective play.

(16) Louisville vs. Purdue (at Indianapolis, IN) 7:30 pm FOX

I don’t know how much you can really win on it but I feel like taking a prop that Lamar Jackson wins another Heisman is not bad in the scheme of things. I have this very strong premonition that he’s going to be even better this year than last year. This is the first of 9 games in this stadium in 2017 where the visiting team has the only NFL-caliber QB on the field.

South Alabama at University of Mississippi, Oxford 7:30 pm ESPNU

USA! USA! USA! The bad guys are 22.5 point favorites and I have some trouble believing they’re going to beat anybody by that much this year.

Abilene Christian at New Mexico 8:00 pm No TV

No TV is my new favorite network.

Arkansas State at Nebraska 8:00 pm BTN

Reminder! We are still a couple of years from Nebraska being worth your time unless you are very partisan. Maybe even if you are very partisan.

(3) Florida State vs. (1) Alabama (at Atlanta, GA) 8:00 pm ABC

GAME OF THE YEAR OF THE WEEK! There are some dummies in the world that think this is an easy win in the making for Bama and I have no clue where that kind of certainty comes from. The Tide should be better along the lines but FSU is hardly hurting for talent. I’m kind of excited to see what freshman RB Cam Akers can do for the Seminoles and also Derwin James, the safety who missed almost all of last year and is generally considered the best player on their team.

Grambling State at Tulane 8:00 pm ESPN3

How bad do you think the teams that have no coverage feel when they look up and see this game getting the ESPN 3 treatment? I hope it’s plenty bad. Frankly those kids should have given up football rather than accepting scholarships from their sad programs.

Jackson State at TCU 8:00 pm FSN

You laugh but this is actually one of the toughest out of conference games that any Big XII team scheduled for 2017.

Northern Iowa at Iowa State 8:00 pm Cyclones.tv

As I’m writing this it appears to me that there’s still no spread for this game. I’m going to choose to believe that means it is a pick ‘em and Northern Iowa is effectively equal in stature and talent to Iowa State.

Vanderbilt at Middle Tennessee 8:00 pm CBSSN

The Richie James RTARLsman train starts a-rollin’ right here over the Vanderbilt Glorias. MTSU by 30 seems like the safe bet to me.

Southern Utah at Oregon 8:15 pm Pac-12N

Seems a shame that more of the country doesn’t have access to seeing the birth of the Willie Taggert era for the Ducks.

UC Davis at San Diego State 8:30 pm Stadium

No, I do not know what SDSU is doing on this thing that broadcasts via facebook instead of the their comfortable home on CBS Sports.

Howard at UNLV 9:00 pm MWN

UNLV being named “Rebels” has always been weird to me. Nevada was a Union state that didn’t really have much in the way of material impact Civil War (it became a state with less than one year left in the conflict) and yet they chose a wolf in a Confederate uniform as their first mascot. And here they are competing against a historically black college in their home opener. It’s all odd.

BYU vs. (13) LSU (at New Orleans, LA) 9:30 pm ESPN

I’m super sure that this time LSU is really gonna have a much better offense. Les Miles is gone after all so, yeah, I’m totally buying that. Noted offensive genius Ed Orgeron is definitely gonna have them on the right path.

Incarnate Word at Fresno State 10:00 pm No TV

/ googles “what channel is No TV”

Montana State at (24) Washington State 10:30 pm FS1

Washington State apparently has a “FCS curse” that I had never heard of until I went looking to see if Montana State is supposed to be good. Montana State is not supposed to be good. Keep that in mind as you’re searching for commercial filler.

NAU at Arizona 11:00 pm Pac-12N

I checked to make sure Donavan Tate isn’t starting for Arizona and he appears to be the third man in a two man race for the position. If I know my RichRod that means he might be a WR prospect at best.

Western Carolina at Hawaii 11:59 pm Spectrum PPV

Regardless of the quality of the product (usually pretty low) Hawaii home games will always be the absolute apex of Degenerate Football as a concept. Nothing feels weirder than watching a game in the middle of the night that is being played live in broad daylight. This is the game that truly signals football is back for me.

Sunday, Sept. 3, 2017

Texas A&M at UCLA 7:30 pm FOX

Remember last year when I said UCLA vs. Texas A&M could be a game between the 2017 and 2018 #1 overall draft picks? Well, the first part of that came true when Myles Garrett went #1 this year. The second part won’t come true because Jim Mora, Jr. is a horrible coach and even if Josh Rosen is fully healed from his injuries last year there’s no way JMJ and staff have coached him up even a little on technique or mental processing.

(22) West Virginia vs. (21) Virginia Tech (at Landover, MD) 7:30 pm ABC

I’m glad to see the shitty stadium that D.C.’s NFL team plays in is now considered Landover. Landover was always a punchline growing up because the Bullets and Capitals played there and it is nowhere close to being in D.C. It’s basically the same as the Angels being referred to as “Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.” On the other hand, Raljon, MD is one of the great triumphs of really stupid corporate ownership of all resources. A beacon to the rest of well-moneyed assholery that anything can be yours and named for your incompetent sons, even if you don’t trust them to actually maintain your legacy and plan to liquidate all of your assets upon your own death.

Monday, Sept. 4, 2017

(25) Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech (at M-B Stadium) 8:00 pm ESPN

This is a weird choice for this of all games to stand alone on the only Monday night that college football gets to itself this year. Maybe the thinking is more along the lines of “this is the only way we can trick people into watching this game.” I have some mostly inexplicable affinity for Georgia Tech and there is a lot to be said for watching UT struggle, so go Ramblin’ Wreck!
