Architectural History
On May 2nd, over 75 Kingsmill community members enjoyed a presentation of the history and architectural significance of the Kingsmill Dependencies presented by Mark Wenger (Architect & Architectural Historian). If you missed the event, no worries, we recorded the session, both Part 1 and Part 2 of Mark Wenger's talks are available below for you to watch and listen anytime.
A few fun facts:
The brick used for the construction of the structures are extremely well made
The Dependencies were built with a water table which is very unusual
The fact that the stone stairs still exist is EXTREMELY rare
The Dependencies and Out Buildings are terms for the same structures
The term Office during the 18th Century was used for any space that had a specific purpose. So a laundry room was an office or a kitchen was an office
