Notable buildings
Four mansions
In the 1920's, Rinehart built four mansions in western Albemarle County, each of which was on the northern side of what is now Ivy Road: Kenridge (now known as Colridge) for himself, Boxwood, White Gables, and a fourth home for his sons[5].

In 1925, the University of Virginia established a $100 annual prize for research thanks to a gift from Rinehart. [6] This was shortly after he was appointed to the Board of Visitors.
