The "Sign Of The Rhinoceros" is the name given this building and it bears the rather unusual rhinoceros shaped sign. It is a private residence with this beautifully decorated window. So how does this fit in with the historical experience in Colonial Williamsburg? It was somehow part of an alternate reality conspiracy, intrigue game for families available online and on site earlier this year.

I like the rhino, I will have to go and look at the post to read more info. Have a great day.
It sure is an unusual find but nice. Thanks for showing.
What a great idea! Engaging young people is always a challenge for museums/restorations, but this idea is inspired.
Interesting!! Have a grand day!! Cathy
Sounds like great fun!
Have a wonderful day.
Always, Queenie
Such a fine way to combinate a private residence in this open area :)
Love the whimsical sign and the great looking reflections in the window.
VERY nice pair of photos...
That was the home of my Great Aunt Miriam Tilledge. She lived there until her death. She wrote a book on Williamsburg that should be in the Williamsburg Library. We spent many a day playing there. Great memories!
Was the sign around in 1775/6? Or was this sign added to the house as part of the game?
