Description and Analysis of Structure 144, Jamestown, Virginia
by the Colonial Williamsburg Department of Architectural Research. 2002.
In 2000, Jamestown Rediscovery sought to re-examine the row of buildings long known as the Ludwell Statehouse Group, first excavated by Colonel Samuel Yonge in 1903. Director Bill Kelso asked the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Research Division and independent historian Martha McCartney to review the archaeological, architectural, and documentary evidence in order to provide guidance and context for test excavations. This work brought to light important new information about the sequence of construction, alterations, and architectural finishes of the large building at the eastern end of the row, which has since been designated by the National Park Service as Structure 144. It also casts doubt on some of the few key documents that researchers have always assumed, but never proved, pertained to these buildings. This report reviews these recent findings.
