...Parlor Pig. Green Springs' 200 residents were aghast, as were other true-blue Virginians. They foresaw that the prison would not only deface the pastoral area but also attract new housing projects for guards and motels for visitors. It was, residents often said, like "leading the pig into the parlor." Architects, historical societies and garden clubs bombarded state and federal officials with indignant letters. If the prison were built, said one, it would be "an affront to the past and an insult to the future." The area around such important houses as Boswell's Tavern, a supposed haunt...
