The Dependencies of the Nelson, Smith, and Ballard Houses Colonial National Historical Park, Yorktown, Virginia. Architectural Data Section

摘要

The study presents material compiled in 1975 and edited in 1977 for the Architectural Data Section of the Historic Structures Report for the dependencies of the properties of the Blow Estate. The properties consist of the Nelson, Smith, and Ballard Houses on Lots 48, 52, 53, and 54 at Colonial National Historical Park. This present study is based heavily on preliminary field reports of the archeological examinations of the Blow Estate. It is intended to relate known architectural data and to record the information that led to the decision to not reconstruct the dependencies. In addition, it is intended that, while these structures are not now scheduled for reconstruction, this study can be used to better interpret the appearance, use, and importance of outbuildings in Colonial households and to provide background material for potential future investigations of the Blow Estate. The report contains illustrations, of the Blow Estate. The report contains illustrations, historic photographs, and maps of the properties in question.
