Wren Building (Williamsburg, Va.)
Lantern Slides - Hand-colored - 1930-1940
Exterior view of the Wren Building at the College of William and Mary. Begun in 1695, the construction of the Wren Building marked the birth of an academic center in colonial Virginia. One of the oldest academic structures in the United States, the Wren Building was damaged by several fires in 1705, 1859, and 1862, but still retains a large portion of its original outside walls. The building's features are thought to be based upon an adaptation of a Sir Christopher Wren design.

Block 21. Building 01.
Church architecture - Virginia - Williamsburg
Postcards - Virginia - Williamsburg
Recto and verso of postcard depicting the interior of Bruton Parish Church published by the Albertype Company and distributed by H.D. Cole. View looking from the rear balcony down the nave of Bruton Parish Church towards the altar. The sanctuary retains the appearance that resulted from architect J. Stewart Barney's restoration of the interior completed in 1907. While the altar is in its original eastern configuration, the stained glass window and large arched opening were removed during final restoration work in the late 1930s.
The caption reads: "Where Washington worshipped in 1781. The parish dates back from 1632. Four presidents of the United States have worshipped within its walls, Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, and Tyler. The bell which hangs in the tower was made in England and presented to the church in 1761, and summoned the patriots together in Revolutionary times. The brick wall enclosing the graveyard was built in 1752."

Church architecture - Virginia - Williamsburg
Postcards - Virginia - Williamsburg
Recto and verso of postcard published by Williamsburg resident Henry Dennison Cole and sold in his shop along Duke of Gloucester Street. An example of an early Divided Back postcard, it features a view of the sanctuary of Bruton Parish Church after architect J. Stewart Barney completed restoration of the interior in 1907. The altar is once more located at the east end of the nave with the pulpit to the right and the Governor's Chair to the left. Many elements of the altar area, including the stained glass window and the large arched opening, were removed during a second round of restoration work in the 1930s.
The card's caption reads: "Built in 1710. Where Washington worshipped in 1781. The parish dates back from 1632. Four presidents of the United States have worshipped within its walls - Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, and Tyler. The bell which hangs in the tower was made in England and presented to the church in 1761, and summoned the patriots together in Revolutionary times. The brick wall enclosing the graveyard was built in 1752."
