Charlottesville in 1911 was a county seat whose skyline was dominated by the dome of the Rotunda on the University of Virginia ridge to the west. Orchards on the slopes of Albemarle County produced apples and other fruit that moved by rail to markets in Richmond and northern cities, and the town's depots and freight yards handled much of that traffic. Farm families in the surrounding countryside still worked mostly by hand and horse, though automobiles had begun to appear on the streets downtown. Townspeople measured the year by the university's terms, the county's harvest, and the trains that carried both goods and visitors in and out.
