WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May a.
Architectural dissection OF the 18th
century Brush House here as a pre-
lininary to restoration has failed to
dispel the faint air Of romance and
mystery which clings to the old
colonial dwelling.
The quaint residence, almost
within the shadow of the Governors
Palace, was once thu home of John
Brush, a colonial gunsmith, and
probably was built about TIT. 1t is
TO be automatically restored to its
18th century appearance and opened
to the public as an exhibition build
ing.
Stripping" of the old house to
ascertain its original form is now in
progress. Certain portions of the
exterior walls and interior plaster
and woodwork are being carefully
investigated, and with study OF the
whole work, it is expected that some
of the present riddles concerning
the property will be answered.
One of the special problems await
ing further study is a buried brick
wall, feet high and so feet long,
which was discovered in cross-ditch-
ing the adjoining yard. The brick
work is of recognizable colonial con-
struction and the theory has been
advanced that it may have served
as dam for pool or pond on the
property or possibly as a retaining
wall for a garden.
Mysterious scratchings on the
panes of several of the downstairs
windows may forever remain an
enigma, however. One OF the tiny
panes of colonial glass in the win
dows Of the library is inscribed, pos
sibly with a diamond: IS B 1896 Nov
q o! Fatal Day"
Recourse to historical chronologies
reveals that nothing more spectacu-
lar happened in the world that year
than the introduction Of vaccination
by Jenner. The property was owned
about that time by DR.. James Carter
and, the tantalizing message along
with others such as" "A. Brushe, 1874"
and MARY w. Byrd Eliza N. Page"

This should be a fat year for the

something worth seeing.

It is well-known that it takes a
year for the blossom to drop of
at the stem to make way for

there are more buds on the red
