In changing the roof a large quantity
of the original shingles (of 1743). though
considerably weather worn on the ex-
posed surfaces, were found good enough
to use again by turning them over. This
evidence of Washington's resourcefulness
has recently come to light by the tenn
porary uncovering Of a portion of the
east portico roof, which for the better
shedding of rain, had been slightly
changed in 1850, revealing few courses
of the shingles of 1743 and 1855. These
