Description

View looking from the boxwood garden towards the eastern end of the St. George Tucker House, 1935. St. George Tucker, a law professor at the College of William and Mary, purchased and moved the central portion of the house from Palace Green to Market Square in 1788. He added wings to enlarge the size.
This formal garden composed of boxwood hedges is situated on the east side of the Tucker House Kitchen. A portion of Market Square and the hotel that used to stand on the site of Chowning's Tavern can be seen in the distance.
