MIR. 6ONGE $ REPOltI.
Richmond, Va. June327, 1908.
Mrs. George w. Bagby, Chairman James
town Committee. Association for the
Preservation OF Virginia Antiquities:
Dear Malam,--I respectfully submit the
following report of progress made In un-
covering the foundations discovered by
me ut Jamestown in January, 1903:
The work Is now sufficiently advanced
to confirm the statement made in my re-
port, submitted to you under date of
March 3. 1903. viz: That "the row of build
ings which the foundations represent. for
merly included houses belonging to the
Hon. Philip I.,idwel, which were situated
between the State house and the 'Coun-
try House, | am now prepared to state
definitely what is implied in the above
quotation, VIZ: That the State house and
Country House covered parts OF the
above foundations contiguous to the Lud.
well houses. There is sufficient evidence
to place this statement beyond the realm
of conjecture.
The State house building stood at the
eastern end of the block of foundations.
Its dimensions in plan, from outside 10
outside OF walls. were about 75X25 feet
The Country House" joined the Ludwcll
houses ON the west, On account OF the

three in number were each about 10
feet square.
The position of tho Ludwcll buildings Is
learned from that Of the Ludwell tract.
which was located by me from the ancient
patent transcripts about one year ago.
The eastern end OF the foundations Is
Identified as tho site OF tho State house
from illusions made to 1t in several
contemporary writings. Tho general posi-
ton OF the state house Is also learned
from references to It in other ancient
patents.
The buildings represented by the en-
tire block OF foundations were probably
erected between 1862 and 1865. and are.
| therefore. probably among tho Oldest
| foundations OF buildings erected In tho
| English American colonies.
