Flowers: Robert and Elizabeth Davenport
Posted by Susan in Virginia Tourism on Jun 5th, 2010 | 0 comments"Flowers" is a 16mm film I made in the late 1960s, during the Vietnam War. It features my father and mother Robert and Elizabeth Davenport. My father Robert C Davenport was born in Norfork, NB in 1905 and moved to the DC area with the New Deal. Robert C. Davenport conceived and built Hollin Hills, a well known community of contemporary houses south of Alexandria, Virginia. My mother was born in 1906, the daughter of Hungarian immigrants from South Bend, Indiana. She helped my father with Hollin Hills as a secretary. My parents bought a 1000 acre farm in the Crooked Run Valley between Delaplane and Paris Virginia in the early 1950 when land here was $50 an acre. They retired to the farm which they had named Hollin and my father raised registered Angus cattle, specializing in selling bulls for commercial herds. Both Elizabeth and Robert are buried in the cemetery at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Delaplane, VA.
