Description
An account of the resource
The son of Norfolk architect Finlay Forbes Ferguson Sr., who served as an Advisory Architect in the late 1920s as Williamsburg’s restoration began, Finlay Ferguson Jr. contributed to two different periods of architectural projects at Colonial Williamsburg. A graduate of the University of Virginia’s architecture program, Finlay Jr. started the first phase of his career working as a draftsman at Colonial Williamsburg between 1930-1933. He assisted other members of the research and design team with preparation of conjectural sketches, preliminary elevations and floor plans, and final measured drawings. Finlay left Williamsburg to work in his father’s architectural firm, Peebles and Ferguson, on the restoration of Fort Macon in Moorehead City, North Carolina between 1934-1935. He continued his association with the Norfolk firm until 1939, when he returned to Colonial Williamsburg to work on research and design for the restoration of Bruton Parish Church until 1943. After serving in the Navy during the remainder of World War II, Ferguson resumed practicing architecture in Norfolk. His early association with Colonial Williamsburg allowed him to become a respected expert in architectural restoration and he oversaw projects at the Adam Thoroughgood House, the Moses Myers House, the Willoughby-Baylor House, and the Old Norfolk Academy. Ferguson also designed the General Douglas MacArthur Memorial and restored St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Edenton, North Carolina.
Ferguson joined his architectural colleagues in taking numerous photographs of both ongoing work in the Historic Area and field research at other sites. These are preserved in the Finlay Forbes Ferguson Jr. Photograph Collection, AV2009.16, which encompasses over four hundred black and white images of restoration projects underway in Williamsburg’s Historic Area, as well as architectural design precedents at historic sites in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and South Carolina used to facilitate reconstruction of details not documented in historical records, archaeological investigations, or visual representations.

Singleton P. Moorehead Streetscapes
Description
An account of the resource
Singleton P. Moorehead (1900 – 1964), was born in Saranac, NY, attended Harvard (BA, 1922; M. Arch, 1927), and was employed in 1928 by the Boston architectural firm of Perry, Shaw and Hepburn. In the same year, he came to Williamsburg as a member of its' architectural field office responsible for the initial restoration work in the historic area. He married Cynthia Beverley Tucker Coleman, a descendant of colonial era Williamsburg resident St. George Tucker. Staying on, Moorehead joined the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s architectural office at its creation in 1934, became director of architecture from 1944 – 48, and continued as an architectural consultant until his death.
This collection of streetscapes was created by Moorehead for the use of John D. Rockefeller Jr. They were created at a reduced scale so Rockefeller might study recommendations comfortably in his limousine. By comparing the small-scale view with what he saw through car windows, he was able to decide whether to approve funding for the work. The colored dots denote four different kinds of properties. Blue indicates additional work to be done at properties already restored or reconstructed; red signified work proposed for properties owned by the restoration; black indicated work to be done at properties owned by the restoration but subject to life tenure and green indicated work to be performed at future acquisitions.
The nine streetscapes in this collection were executed by Moorehead to accompany a February 20, 1939 report entitled: Proposed Ultimate Restoration Work” written by A. Edwin Kendrew, Foundation Architect and head of Colonial Williamsburg’s architectural staff. About these illustrations, Moorehead wrote: “I made some renderings in water color and crayon … And I did elevations of all the streets that occurred in the area where restoration or reconstruction work was or was to be done. Those were mounted on stiff cardboard mats. I think in all there were about eighteen feet of them … Those were passed to Mr. Rockefeller, and he toured the town in his car. He would go up one side of the street and down the other and follow the schedule by circles of color … He didn’t have to stand around with the wind blowing huge blueprints and stuff. He just had these simple little renderings. (They were quite attractive, even if I do say so.) He bought the proposition, and then the fun really started.”

STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS-BAY
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />In the House of Representatives, June 23, 1780.</p>
<br /><p>WHEREAS the troops of the Southern States will now be needed for the defence of that<br />quarter, and by reason of the late advantages obtained by the enemy, we are compelled to<br />call for a further supply of men, to fill up our battalions, which General <em>Washington</em> has<br />earnestly requested, as well as a detachment of militia, to provide effectually for obtaining the great<br />object in contemplation. By returns from the General, it manifestly appears, that five thousand one<br />hundred and seventeen are wanting to compleat your battalions to five hundred and four rank<br />and file ; and by reiterated applications lately received from his Excellency and the Committee of<br />Congress, we are assured, in the most explicit terms, that the completion of this number can, on no<br />consideration, be dispensed with : And this Court would be unable to answer it, in requiring at this<br />time so small a number as is expressed in the subsequent resolve, on any other principle than their de-<br />pendence on the fidelity of every friend to his country in executing the other resolve herein contained,<br />for hastening to camp all recruits, deserters, and soldiers on furlough.</p>
<br /><p>We are not insensible of the burthens of the community ; we shall chearfully share them in com-<br />mon with our brethren ; considering the absolute necessity of the present requisition, we dare not for-<br />bear it, and surely our countrymen have too much sense, and too much virtue, to indlge such an at-<br />tachment to their farms and their merchandize, as, for the sake of a few months enjoyment of them,<br />at the present crisis, to hazard the loss of them forever.</p>
<br /><p>The demands for men, as well as for supplies, are truly large ; but we fear not to discourage you by<br />their largeness, for they are necessary, and they are surely in our power : This is the hour then to<br />prove the sincerity of past professions.</p>
<br /><p>Though we have much to fear from indecision, yet we have every thing to hope from exertion -<br />nothing less than, at one stroke, to put a period to the war ; for we have the fullest assurances of such<br />aid from our illustrious Ally, as was never before on these shores : The hourly expectation of their ar-<br />rival, and the late success of the enemy at the Southward, will push them, with the greatest precipi-<br />tancy, to attempt those advantages they may hope to gain from our present situation. We have<br />therefore, to repeat it, with the plainest freedom, that the smallest deficiency in the numbers herein re-<br />quired, cannot be dispensed with ; and that it is of equal moment that the men be hastened to the<br />place of rendezvous, with a celerity equal to the urgency of the present moment.</p>
<br /><p>Resolved, That the several towns and plantations in the counties of <em>Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex, Hamp-<br />shire, Plymouth, Bristol, Barnstable, Worcester, York,</em> and <em>Berkshire,</em> be, and they hereby are required, with<br />the utmost dispatch possible, to supply a number of men equal to one fourth part of the number allotted<br />to them respectively, by a resolve of this Court of the 5th instant, and that the said men be raised by<br />draft, lot, or voluntary inlistment, as prescribed by said resolve, and serve for six months, from the time<br />of their arrival at <em>Springfield,/em>, unless sooner discharged ; and the before-mentioned resolve of the 5th<br />instant, as it designates the duties of the several militia officers therein named, and also of the Selectmen,<br />Committees of Correspondence, of the Superintendants, Commissioner, and of every other officer and<br />person therein named, and every other clause and article of said resolve, respecting wages, fines, for-<br />feitures, and every other matter and thing, shall avail and be observed with respect to the number of<br />men herein called for, as fully and compleatley as it might and ought to have done with respect to the<br />three thousand nine hundred and thirty-four men therein required, excepting so far only as it names<br />the days when the several returns are to be made ; and returns of the men hereby required, similar<br />to those prescribed in the above-mentioned resolve, are to be made without the smallest delay.</em></p>
<br /><p><em>Provided nevertheless,</em> That the above-said men are not required to equip themselves, as is directed by said resolve.</p>
<br /><p><em>It is further Resolved,</em> That in any case where a fraction shall remain, after taking one fourth of thenumber allotted to anyh town, by the schedule accompanying the said resolve of the 5th instant, if such<br />fraction amount to three,every townwhere such fraction shall happen, shall be held to supply a manfor<br />the same ; and all the fines and forfeitures prescribed by the before-mentioned resolves, shall be incurred<br />for a failure in this instance, as well as in any other.</p>
<br /> This requisition is by no means to retard the mcarch of the men required by the resolution of the<br />5th instant : but in any case where the men, by that resolve required, shall not have marched before<br />the receipt hereof, the militia officers and all others concerned, are hereby most SOLEMNLY EN-<br />JOINED to dispatch all such IMMEDIATELY, <em>as the smallest delay may be attended with the most<br />serious consequences</em>.<br /><p><em>Resolved</em>, That all militia Officers, Selectmen; and Committees of Correspondence, &c. be, and they<br />hereby are again required, to pay strict attention to the directions of teh act published in <em>May</em> last, for<br />apprehending and securing deserters ; and forthwith to secure all such as do not immediately take the<br />benefit of the late generous proclamation of the Commander in Chief.---Said Officers, Selectmen, and<br />Committees, are further required to cause all recruits and soldiers on furlough, whose furloughs have<br />expired, to proceed immediately to camp ;and on refusal or delay of any such, to treat him as a deser-<br />ter :---A neglect of this measure will render unaviodable a further call for men to make up their de-<br />ficiency.</p>
<br />Sent up for concurence.<br /><div>JOHN HANCOCK, Speaker.</div>
