Historic buildings -- Virginia -- Williamsburg

When Colonial Williamsburg first opened as a museum in the 1930s, Duke of Gloucester Street consisted of a combination of exhibition buildings and commercial establishments. Several grocers operated small food markets in restored or reconstructed structures. The Teterel Shop, housing the A&P Food Market, offered a place for town residents and tourists to pick up refreshments. A deed records the construction of a shop on the site shortly before 1767. The succession of owners included William Waters, William Holt, and William Coleman. In 1806, Francis Teterel acquired the property and it is his name that was associated with the building when it was first restored. Today it is known as the William Waters Storehouse.
