The New Market House, Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia


Colonial Williamsburg is adding to the reconstructed colonial buildings with the Market House being constructed next to the Magazine, across Duke of Gloucester Street from the Courthouse. As usual, the bricks, lumber and wooden shingles were prepared by the artisans of Colonial Williamsburg.

The Market House stood here from the 1750's until about 1790 and provided a location for butchers, farmers, and others to sell their wares.

  1. I wouldn't have thought continued construction in the old style would be done.
