Sherwood's Tourist Home
Description
An account of the resource
When John Sherwood returned home in 1937 from his freshman year at The University of Virginia, his father Albert was just finishing up construction on “the house he had always dreamed of building.” The seven bedroom house sat near the intersection of Lee Highway and Fairfax Boulevard. It featured solid brick construction, a slate roof and a handmade, solid walnut banister made from a tree Albert Sherwood had planted as a young boy. The property also featured.a tennis court, two car garage with an apartment over it, apple trees, a pear orchard, a boxwood court and a vegetable garden.
Albert ran a successful construction company for many years, building private homes and commercial buildings throughout Fairfax and Arlington counties. He built the fire house for the town of Fairfax, homes in Fairfax Heights, Lyon Village in Arlington, homes in the Moore-Oliver subdivision in Fairfax, He was also a director of the National Bank of Fairfax and a member of the Fairfax Town Council for forty years. He served from 1916-1956 and still holds the record for the longest serving councilmember. His wife Annie took care of guests at the tourist home that they ran out of their house.
After Albert and Annie Sherwood died in 1963, the property was sold and “Wild Bill” Patram moved the house down the hill into the adjoining Westmore neighborhood.

Description
An account of the resource
The Kamp Washington tourist court was located at the intersection of Little River Turnpike and Lee Highway on the edge of the Town of Fairfax.
The property was purchased by Katherine Curry on November 1, 1928. The following year, she went into partnership with Warren Stoner and the couple were soon married.
Vincent Sutphin described the property in his recent book entitled Nothing Remains the Same:
“The camp consisted of some twelve to fifteen one-room frame cabins. Each cabin had a bed, several chairs, a King wood heater stove, and was lighted with a single electric bulb in the center of the room. Toilet facilities with showers, as well as additional cabins, were located in the center of the camp along a graveled driveway. The owner’s Cape Cod frame home was also located along this semi-circle driveway with entrances along Route 236. The owner, Mr. Stoner also ran a small lunchroom with a counter and booths.”
In 1941, the Stoners sold Kamp Washington to Robert Conkle and Douglas Vincent of Falls Church.
Albert Sherwood purchased the tourist court in 1948 and began to redevelop it, slowly tearing down the cabins and replacing them with small brick houses which he rented out. Many were built using leftover construction materials from previous jobs. The property is currently the site of the Office Depot and Washington Sports Club building and parking lots.

Description
An account of the resource
The Kamp Washington tourist court was located at the intersection of Little River Turnpike and Lee Highway on the edge of the Town of Fairfax.
The property was purchased by Katherine Curry on November 1, 1928. The following year, she went into partnership with Warren Stoner and the couple were soon married.
Vincent Sutphin described the property in his recent book entitled Nothing Remains the Same:
“The camp consisted of some twelve to fifteen one-room frame cabins. Each cabin had a bed, several chairs, a King wood heater stove, and was lighted with a single electric bulb in the center of the room. Toilet facilities with showers, as well as additional cabins, were located in the center of the camp along a graveled driveway. The owner’s Cape Cod frame home was also located along this semi-circle driveway with entrances along Route 236. The owner, Mr. Stoner also ran a small lunchroom with a counter and booths.”
In 1941, the Stoners sold Kamp Washington to Robert Conkle and Douglas Vincent of Falls Church.
Albert Sherwood purchased the tourist court in 1948 and began to redevelop it, slowly tearing down the cabins and replacing them with small brick houses which he rented out. Many were built using leftover construction materials from previous jobs. The property is currently the site of the Office Depot and Washington Sports Club building and parking lots.

The ten cent car
Description
An account of the resource
The ten cent car story is one supported by an oral history with John M. Sherwood who was interviewed by William Page Johnson II on June 27, 2008. That video is linked to in the John M. Sherwood oral history item. There are also photographs of the boys with the car, each as a separate item in this exhibit.
The story goes as follows: In 1933 under prohibition, people who drove whisky through Fairfax would be arrested by then sheriff Eppa P. Kirby. Their automobile would be confiscated and then sold at auction. There was a wrecked model T and John Sherwood’s brother (Maurice Sherwood) bid 10 cents on it and then had to move it to the Sherwood’s back yard. They were able to get it into enough of working order that it could be pushed. The boys would ride it up and down the streets of Fairfax on the sidewalks.
