Ballston NOW, Parkington THEN

Looking down Fairfax Dr. from its intersection with Glebe Rd. towards the Metro station and 2 of the few remaining recognizable landmarks from our high school years.

Central Methodist Church has been there for as long as I can recall.

Taken from intersection of Stafford St and Fairfax Dr

Looking from Stafford St. next to the Methodist Church across Fairfax Dr. toward the IHOP that is tucked away among the high rises and sporting a bit of a facelift.

These storefronts may have all changed business names but building strip still much as it was in the 60s including the Chinese restaurant on far corner. Sits across from Metro Station on Fairfax Dr.

The Ballston Metro station seems to be undergoing some construction.

Front entrance to the Westin Hotel where will will gather on August 21 for our reunion. It sits between Wilson Blvd and Fairfax Dr on Glebe Rd - approximately where the old Putt-Putt Golf course once stood.

Looking from driveway out of the Westin towards where Bob Peck Chevrolet used to be on right hand side.

At intersection of Wilson Blvd. with Glebe rd. looking at where the Bob Peck Chevrolet dealership once stood, as suggested by the vestigial line of blue diamonds across the glass front of the office building.

This is all that remains of where Hechts used to put various messages up. It became a Macys and only the concrete squares suggest the old signage - and its quite obscured by a building with a tower where the front parking lot used to be!

Craig Sampson's Contributions

In 1979 I made two new doors for the North Carolina Governor’s Mansion. The doors were to keep the noise from the remodeled kitchen from the rest of the house.

The Mansions kitchen was replaced with a professional kitchen that could handle large State affairs

The doors I made matched the original

At the time I was the sash and door man at Martin Woodcraft (1976 to 1982)

The doors were made from white pine and were 2.25 inches thick

These last two pictures were taken in April 2017 when I visited the Mansion during an Open House

The doors are looking good 40 plus years later
