The St. George Tucker House sits prominently on the Courthouse greens in Colonial Williamsburg and is a long, sprawling home worthy of a lawyer, Revolutionary War officer, and prominent judge.
In addition, Tucker built the first bathroom in town by converting his dairy building and in which he featured a copper tub into which hot water was piped. As an additional oddity, it had a drain; unheard of at the time.
A friend of his son erected the first known Christmas tree in the house 1842.
The house is used by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation as a reception area for those who donate.
My kind of house.
