uecK tne Mail ot valor witn rugged, weathered steel - bold enough to help symbolize the courage of the young men the New Market Battlefield Memorial seeks to honor. That was part of Richmond architect William Moseley’s intent as he designed the $1 million building now under construction at the site of one of the Civil War’s most legendary battles. Moseley, partner-in-charge for Richmond’s Marcellus Wright & Partners, architects for the project, said the Hall of Valor presented a number of ^difficult architectural problems, ^ chiefly designing a contemporary building on a rustic, rugged Civil War battlefield and creating a i suitable “monumental” effect, to remind the visitor of what took place at the site. The building will memorialize the astonishing courage of the company of teen-age cadets from Virginia Military Institute, who were baptized in battle and helped turn the tide in the Confederate victory at New Market on May 15, 1864. The Hall of Valor, scheduled for dedication next May 14, was made possible by VMI alumnus, George R. Collins, of Charleston, W,V«^whoM estate Included a fund of almost' $3 million for the purpose.
Construction of the museum largely has been a Richmond-based effort, with Thorington Construction Company as general contractor. Fabrication of steel sections was done by Liphart Steel Company.
The structure is a combination of native stone and ornamental weathering steel. The steel, U. S. Steel’s Cor-Ten, literally will “paint" itself a rich dark rust color, through oxidation, to blend with its rustic Shenandoah Valley surroundings.
