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.

Description
An account of the resource
Susan Higginson Nash was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on August 8, 1893 and died in Boston on July 25, 1971. She served as a consultant on antiques and interior decoration in association with the Boston architectural firm of Perry, Shaw, & Hepburn, chosen to carry out the early work on Williamsburg's restoration. Later a member of the American Institute of Decorators, she was a friend of architect William G. Perry with whom she first visited Williamsburg in 1923. During field trips to Virginia sites, she met the popular Richmond novelist Ellen Glasgow, who advised her: "If you do any work at Williamsburg, make it perceptible." Mrs. Nash felt this was a wonderful phrase and quoted it often, evidently taking it to mean that the work should be subtly and sympathetically done.
Most of the photos in the Susan Higginson Nash Photograph Collection date to the early 1930s, when steps to be taken in the physical restoration of the colonial capital were still under study. Sites include many of the important extant eighteenth-century houses in the Tidewater region of Virginia, such as Shirley, Westover, Mt. Airy, Sabine Hall and Marmion. Excursions to such sites were made to help in determining proper precedents for the work to be carried out in Williamsburg's Historic Area.

An account of the resource
Orin Miles Bullock Jr. (1905-1994), a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and a native of Oakland, California, studied architecture at Harvard University and worked as a draftsman with the firms of McKim, Mead & White and Cram & Ferguson. In 1929, he joined the Williamsburg office of architects Perry, Shaw & Hepburn and spent five years assisting the team with drafting designs for the restoration or reconstruction of some of the earliest exhibition buildings in the Historic Area. He departed in 1934 to take a position as a regional architect for the National Park Service in Richmond. In 1941, he began a brief appointment as Executive Director of the Portsmouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority before enlisting for military service. After active duty during World War II, he returned to Colonial Williamsburg as Supervisor of Architectural Research in 1953. He oversaw a second phase of restoration work and archaeological investigations and contributed to documentation, via research reports, of efforts to combine authenticity and sound preservation methods to the continued restoration work at each building site, including "The How, What, Why of the Restoration of the Buildings in Colonial Williamsburg." During the 1960s, he contributed to the historic preservation movement with the publication of his "The Restoration Manual" of 1966 while serving as a Rehabilitation Architect with the Baltimore Urban Renewal and Housing Authority.
The Rockefeller Library holds a selection of eighteen black and white photographs either taken by or collected by architect Orin Miles Bullock Jr. in the 1920s as part of his fieldwork studying extant eighteenth-century buildings in Williamsburg, Virginia and the surrounding area. Public buildings featured in the photos include the President’s House, Brafferton Hall, and Wren Building at the College of William & Mary, as well as the Powder Magazine and Public Gaol. Domestic structures documented include Tazewell Hall, the Benjamin Waller House, and the James Galt House. Bruton Parish Church and the Colonial Hotel and Williamsburg Baptist Church once located on Market Square are also represented. A few photos of historic buildings Bullock examined in other parts of the state complete the collection, including Tuckahoe in Goochland County, North Wales in Fauquier County, and the Adam Keeling House in Virginia Beach.
