Major construction activity of the
restoration is under way at six points
within the city, according to a
progress report made public today
at the offices of the Williamsburg
Restoration. All of this work is in
accordance with the program out
lined by Kenneth Chorley, presi-
dent OF the restoration organiza-
tons at the beginning of the year.
In variety and volume the amount
of construction which the restora-
ton carried forward the past sum-
mer equals the schedules of two
years ago. while Williamsburg Lodge
was under construction.
The largest single construction
apart from the underpass-is in the
business block where a new office
building is being built at the corner
of Henry and Prince George streets.
This building is to be named in
honor of the late DR.. w. A. r,
Goodwin, for many years rector of
Bruton Parish Church and the man
who interested John D. Rockefeller,
jr, in undertaking the restoration
of colonial Williamsburg.
One of the latest reservations has
| Just been undertaken at the ITALIA
ferro-Cole property on the corner
of Nassau and Duke of Gloucester
streets. When the restoration Is
completed here with extensive land
scaping, this will be an imposing
example of ansimportant landmark
in the city.
! On Francis street the Byrd
House is under restoration following
a period of extensive archaeological
| and architectural studies. Docu-
mentary records show that all of the
outbuildings-the laundry. kitchen,
smokehouse. we'll and dairy-which
are now being rebuilt. were included
in this extensive property during
| the colonial period. The house it
self will be completely restored, al
though the exterior will show few
changes.
Further down Francis street the
Ewing House is being restored on the
old foundations and with several
outbuildings, including forge,
smokehouse and storehouse which
have been rebuilt on old founda-
tions.
On the south side of Duke of
Gloucester street one Of the most
interesting changes in an entire
block is now to be seen in the build
ings reconstructed between Colonial
and Botetourt streets. In this group
are Brick House Tavern with shop
and outbuildings: the Nancy Camp
House, forge, kitchen. smokehouse
and privy; the shop on the Mary
Stith lot and the Orlando Jones
House, office, kitchen and outbuild-
ings. Several of these buildings
were reconstructed early last spring
but the completion of additional
units in this block indicates other
interesting changes that may be an
ticipated as the gap filling" pro-
gram of the restoration progresses
elsewhere in the area.
