That money will go toward renovating the house, Quarstein said the City Council will vote on that expenditure and the rest of the 1996-97 operating budget tonight. The museum expects to get $250,000 from the City Council this year to start work at Endview. Quarstein does not have a total price tag for the project, but he said establishing the interpretive center at Endview and the more traditional Civil War artifact exhibit at Lee Hall should stay within the $8 million he predicted for Endview alone in the fall. Compiled by local architect Carlton Abbott, the plan calls for construction of an access road to the property parallel to Crafford Road, a second driveway from the access road to the front of the house, and construction of a 19th-century-style barn to house classrooms and other facilities. Quarstein presented his plan for Endview to the Industrial Development Authority on Friday. A handful of opponents objected to the proposal at the commission’s public hearing, but several people spoke in support of the mall, too. The city’s Planning Commission Wednesday unanimously recommended rezoning the land for retail use. Mall Properties, owner of Coliseum Mall in Hampton, has a two-year option to buy the Endview land.

The city envisions developing a park of retail and professional buildings on the 311 Endview acres similar to but smaller than Oyster Point Business Park.Īt its meeting tonight, the City Council will consider rezoning 100 of the Endview acres to accommodate the mall that was proposed last month by Mall Properties Inc. Quarstein added that, with its purchase of Lee’s Mill and its commitment to Endview and Lee Hall, Newport News has done more for historic preservation in 1996 than any other city in the country. “But considering that we want to work as best as possible with the city’s plans, we think we can make do with something close to the 22 acres.” “We would not be telling the truth if we said we wouldn’t want more acreage,” Quarstein said. Quarstein said 22 acres should allow the museum to “preserve the Endview landscape. Miller said he thinks 22 acres is a suitable size for the Endview museum, particularly now that the city is likely to buy the 12 acres and manor house of Lee Hall, across Jefferson Avenue from Endview, for another Civil War exhibit.īut IDA Chairman John Munick said he’d rather see give the museum less land at Endview in exchange for the land and house at Lee Hall. Vice Mayor Joe Frank said last week he does not support placing retail development between the house and the road, but Planning and Development Director Paul Miller, who claimed credit for the idea, said it might make sense to put a hotel there if the museum center proves successful. There also would be room for commercial development between the home and Crafford Road, the drawing shows. A more recent sketch shows room for two retail projects, such as hotels, between the home and Yorktown Road.
