Description
Distant view of the St. George Tucker House taken from Palace Green. St. George Tucker, a law professor at the College of William and Mary, purchased and moved the central portion of the house from Palace Green to Market Square in 1788. He added wings to enlarge the size.
Restoration work on this original eighteenth-century structure occurred between 1930 and 1931. At the time this photo was taken by F.S. Lincoln in 1935, Tucker family descendants still lived in the home, as they were granted life tenancy.
