Raleigh Tavern, Exterior, Entrance Detail of South Facade from the Southwest
Block 17. Building 06.
Raleigh Tavern (Williamsburg, Va.)
Historic buildings -- Virginia -- Williamsburg
Taverns (Inns) -- Virginia -- Williamsburg
Entrance detail of the Raleigh Tavern's southern facade, viewed from the southwest along Duke of Gloucester Street, 1935. The tavern's signboard and a fence stand in the foreground, while the front entrance of the building is visible in the background. A lead bust of Sir Walter Raleigh, the noted navigator-explorer, is featured in the broken pediment above the tavern's front doors. Eighteenth-century spelling was not exact and Raleigh most often wrote his name without the āiā.
The Raleigh Tavern was the frequent scene of both jollity and consequence. Burned to the ground in 1859, the tavern was reconstructed from published illustrations, insurance policies, and archaeology that uncovered most of the original foundations.

Gardens - Virginia - Williamsburg
View of the Market Square Tavern Servants' Quarters and garden taken by F.S. Lincoln in 1935.
The original tavern structure burned down in 1859 but the remains of the original foundations allowed for the restoration of the building to its eighteenth-century appearance. John Dixon constructed the original around 1749 and used it as a combination dwelling and shop. Later additions allowed the building to be converted into a tavern operated first by Thomas Craig and later by Gabriel Maupin. After its restoration in the early 1930s, guests at Colonial Williamsburg could rent rooms in the tavern to experience some colonial ambiance. It has continuously provided accommodations for visitors to Williamsburg for several centuries.
