Wythe House, Georgian residence in Colonial Williamsburg, United States
The Wythe House exhibits red brick walls, symmetrical windows with rubbed brick frames, and a hip roof supported by a modillion cornice on Palace Green.
Richard Taliaferro constructed this residence between 1752 and 1754, during the renovation period of the Governor's Palace, later gifting it to George Wythe upon his marriage.
The interior layout features a central hall with surrounding rooms, including a parlor containing built-in china cupboards and an office space with a blue mantel.
The house opens its doors from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM on Mondays and Tuesdays, while extending hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Wednesday through Sunday.
General George Washington established his military headquarters at this residence before the Siege of Yorktown in September 1781.
