Raleigh tavern waa twice used as an assembly place for the house of burgesses, when the royal governor dissolved the assembly for discussing disloyal petitions and resolutions. Including the decision to set aside day for fasting and prayer In 1774 when news of the blockade of Boston harbor was received. Raleigh tavern wus the birthplace of the Phi Beta Kappa, the first chapter of the scholastic fraternity being established there on December fi. 1770. The little old colonial courthouse on the court green still stands. On the north side of the court green Is the colonial home of Edmund Randolph, who was secretary of state and attorney general In Washington's cubinet. Near It Is the Peachy house, headquarters of Rochanibenu just before the battle of Yorktown, and also the building In which General Lafayette wus entertained when he revisited America. Close to It stands the Griffin house on the Duke of Gloucester street where lived Judge Cyrus Griffin, a member of the Continental congress.' The fine colonial brick home of George Wythe on the east side of the pulace green, beside the Bruton Iarish churchyard, remains as it stood when Washington and Lafayette together planned the battle of Yorktown there. It was built In 1755 and Its owner twenty years later, George Wythe, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Tazewell hall, the birthplace of Edmund Run dolph, also remains practically as It was long before the Revolution. Its Interior finish Is of solid mnhogany. The home of another member of the Randolph family, Ieyton Randolph, first president of the Continental congress. Is not far distant. The Tucker house. In which the wife of John Ihmdolph lived before her marriage, ami a fine example of early colonial design in the Blair house, ulso remains. Bassett hall, one of the finest ancient buildings In the town, stands at the end of a long lane of trees. It was the property of Burwell Bassett, whose uncle, George Washington, was freThe of quently a visitor. Martha Washington Is buried in the Burton Parish churchyard. Vice President John In Tyler was living at Bassett hall when the son of Secretary of State Daniel Webster galloped down the long lane of tteCs to bring him the news of tne death of President Harrison and of his own succession. The house stands in a park of several hundred acres of woodland. The home of Col. Wilson Miles Cary, a delegate to the Virginia convention in 1770, was frequently visited by Washington when lie was studying surveying at William and Mary college, h short walk away. It is said that the parents of Mary Cary discouraged the inconspicuous engineer's wooing of their daughter, aud that Mary fuinreo on the porch of this house some years later when she was the wife of Edward Ambler and General Washington rode past on his triumphal return from his victory over Gen. Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Marys sister wus the wife of Lor.i Fairfax. Besides the wealth of colonial residences, Williamsburg still possesses many other old public In William and Mary college stand buildings. three excellent examples. The halt, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, is the oldest college building In America, antedating Massachnsetts hall at Harvard.

By that time approximately So.oini.ooO will have been spent In the renaissance of the hlstotle capital of the state of Virginia, and for probably the first time In modern history a whole living city will have been turned Into a museum of the glorious past where Americans can catch the atmosphere of a romantic era that has gone forever. Over an area of something like a mile square all that la new will be removed and all that Is old put back as nearly us possible as It was l.K) years ago. . Modern buildings are to be done away with wholesale, and public and private house f the olden days are to be replaced In cases where they Lave not been spared by time. Back of this a max-lu- g transformation Is the story of the vision of two men, a minister and a philanthropist The minister Is Rev. William A. It Goodwin, rector of the Bruton Parish church, the oldest Episcopal church In continuous existence In America, and a member of the faculty at the College of William and Story, the second oldest Institution of higher learning In this country. He originated the Idea. The philanthropist Is John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who Is supplying the money necessary for the restoration and who Is giving Doctor Goodwin a free hand In directing the restoration Although Williamsburg Is a small city (Its population probably never exceeded the present fig ure of some 2,000), It Is doubtful If there Is any other town In America with which there have been associated so many historic names. In Its streets have trod such notables as Washington. Jefferson, Monroe, John Marshall, Patrick Henry Benjamin Franklin, George Rogers Clark, Franklin, Rochanibeuu, Lafayette, George Mason, George Wythe, the Randolphs, the Lees and a host ot others whose names are a part of oar colonial and Revolutionary war history. The site of Wil Hamsburg was originally known as the Middle Plantations and In 1C32 Sir Francis Nicholson, at various times governor of Virginia, Maryland and Acadia, laid out a town there and named it In honor of King William. His first Intention was to honor his sovereign by laying out the streets in the form of a monogram of W and M. but two ravines Interfered with his purpose. So the town was laid out along a main street which he named Duke of Gloucester street, honoring the short-live- d prince. Queen Annes eldest son. and two parallel streets he named Francis and NichCross streets were olson, honoring himself named Nassau, King, Palace and Queen streets and the parallelogram bounded by these streets marks the area of the present restoration. In 1093 there was built at the west end of Duke of Gloucester street the College of William and Mary and chartered by the joint sovereigns of England after whom It was named. At that time a building designed by the famous Sir Christopher Wren was already standing, as was the Bruton Parish churc. In 1699 the government of the colony of Virginia, which then extended to the Mississippi river, was moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg and the day of Williamsburgs glory began. At the other end f Duke of Gloucester street was erected the first building in the United States officially designated Capitol." which was the seat of the council and the burgesses of the colony from 1701 until the upheaval at the opening of the Revolution resulted In the house of burgesses being officially dissolved and the legislators went down the street to the Apollo room In the Raleigh tavern. Besides the capitol and the college, the most 1 Jiicholxon street bvohi Wiio&msburg Important building In colonial times was the governor's palace which stood at the head of the Palace Green," a broad avenue running north from Duke of Gloucester street. The rebuilding of the palace presents a particular difficulty, for no picture exists which shows a complete view of It In Its original or enlarged form. It was begun In 1705 and completed during the governorship of Col. Alexander Spots wood, founder of the romantic Order of the Golden Horseshoe." About 1751 It was reconstructed on a more spacious scale. This was during the governorship of Robert Dinwiddle the Dinwiddle who sent a certain yismg Major George Washington on the mission to the French on the Ohio river which led to bis taking part In the Braddock tragedy and the Fort Necessity adventure. The next occupant of the palace after Dinwiddle was Francis Fauquier of whom Thomas Jefferson, then a young student at the college, was a prime favorite, not only with the governor but with the belles of Williamsburg ns well. Another purtlclpunt in the gay social festivities at the palace was George Washington, who dined there with Lord Dunuiore, the last British governor of Virgluia, before the break came between the colonies and the mother country. When that break came My Lord Dunuiore" collected his men, went to the Powder Horn (built by Colonel Spotsvvood In the Market squure and still standing), took the colonys supply of powder and muskets and silently stole on board ship under cover 'of night Whereupon a certain Pntrhk Henry (who had already heard the cries of Treason I Treason I" shouted at certain utterances of his), led a p.irty of militia from Hanover, King William. New Kent and Charles City counties to demand the arms buck again. He didn't get them, but he did force from the governor a payment of 320 pounds for the munitions, which he took with him to Philadelphia later and deposited in the treasury of the Continental congress. And after Dunuiore had finally fled the colony It was Patrick Henry who occupied the pulace as governor. To him In 1773 came another young Virginian, George Rogers Clark, to lay before him his daring scheme for conquering the vast region of the Old Northwest. History has recorded how well Clark succeeded hut It Is not po well known that Ills vanquished enemy, Gov. Henry Hamilton, the Hair Buyer General of Detroit, after the surrender at Vincennes, was sent to Williamsburg ns a prisoner of war and was confined In the old Jail there which still stands, having done its duly us a prison for more than 2X years. In this prison, too, were confined some of the associates of the notorious pirate. Black Beard, who were executed in 1718. It Is interesting to note, by the way, that these pirates were contributors (unwillingly probably) to the cause of higher learning, for on the account books of the College of William and Mary stands the fact that 3(H) pounds of the original subscriptions for founding the college are credited to certain pirates! Not far from the old Jail stands the poor debtors prison, almost abutting on the First National bunk. The building, originally known tithe colonists as Bedlam, the first hospital for Insane people In the United States, stands on Francis street. Threu generations of the Galt family, all physicians, served as chief medical officers of the Insane hospital, over an unbroken period of a century. One of the famous buildings of Williamsburg, the Raleigh tavern, was destroyed by fire in 1S."9. It is to he restored.
