Nothing Remains the Same: Jermantown, Legato, Pender, and Waples Mill during the 1920s and 1930s in Fairfax County, Virginia

This book allows you to harken back to a time when getting an education meant walking 5 miles to old Oakton High School, and when there was no Wegmans supermarket providing easy, one-stop grocery shopping. It enables you to envision these four Fairfax County neighborhoods before they were disrupted by the construction of Route 66 and the Fair Oaks Mall--built-landscape features that we of the 21st century take for granted without thinking about the people who once called these lands "home."

Dozens of families helped shape these neighborhoods on the edge of the historic City of Fairfax, Virginia. Nothing Remains the Same describes and shows many of the small, single-family homes now gone. It gives a property-by-property tour. For genealogists, author Vincent Sutphin provides interesting details about relatives and neighborhood friends' daily lives, too.

Nothing Remains the Same contains 165 photographs, four maps, and three indexes (name, subject, and property).
