This sketchbook contains field drawings and notations about several historic buildings in Williamsburg that the Reverend Donald MacDonald- Millar examined during a visit to the town in 1919. Sketches include architectural details of the Mary Cary House, George Wythe House, Ludwell-Paradise House, Powell-Hallam House (today known as the Seymour Powell Tenement), the Digges House (today identified as the Bray School) and the Robert Carter House. The sketchbook is significant as a record of the condition of these buildings in the second decade of the twentieth century, nine years before John D. Rockefeller Jr. agreed to fund the commencement of in-depth restoration work on some of Williamsburg's colonial structures. It also illustrates the growing interest in Williamsburg's architectural history among early pioneers in the field of historic preservation.
