Biography

Scribner was born in Raleigh, North Carolina and later moved to Albemarle County as a baby. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in architecture. He was a partner in the firm Stainback and Scribner. [3] Scribner was President of the Virginia AIA chapter from 1949-1950.[4] Completed in 1956, the architectural firm of Stainback and Scribner designed The Daily Progress Building at 403 East Market Street.

Scribner was a member of the Building Code Review Board from 1947 in 1957. [5]


Appointment to Council

Scribner was appointed to Council in 1957 to fill the vacancy left when William R. Hill resigned. [3]

1962 election

Scribner had initially stated he would not run for another term but changed his mind in part because he wanted to "follow through" on the city's annexation of Albemarle land. During a press conference televised live on WINA, Scribner said the number one issue was creating a secondary water supply for the community.

Scribner's letter to 2012

When the time capsule was buried 1962, one of the items placed within was a letter from Mayor Scribner to whoever would be mayor in 2012. When the capsule was opened, the letter was damaged but a copy still existed. Here is an excerpt:

"May we urge you to ever support the ideals of liberty and democracy as set forth by this area's greatest citizen, Thomas Jefferson. And further urge you to make this city the best place in our land in which to live... Finally we salute you and offer our thanks to you for the services you are rendering to the citizens of Charlottesville, many of whom are our children."
