About this postcard

A garden view across a lawn and clipped hedges toward the red-brick, two-story George Wythe House with its tall chimneys, flanked by white outbuildings and large shade trees. The house on Palace Green in Williamsburg was built about 1754 for Richard Taliaferro and became the home of his son-in-law George Wythe, signer of the Declaration of Independence and law teacher of Thomas Jefferson. It was restored in the 1930s as part of Colonial Williamsburg's reconstruction of the eighteenth-century capital.
