Discover the rich history of Williamsburg with a stay at the Nicholas-Tyler Office, located at the corner of East Francis Street and South England Street. This beautifully reconstructed building, named after Robert Carter Nicholas and John Tyler, offers a unique opportunity to stay in a property with deep historical significance. Originally built by Nicholas in 1770 and later owned by John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States, the Nicholas-Tyler Office was reconstructed in 1941 to preserve its historical charm while providing modern accommodations for today’s travelers.
A Historic Legacy
The Nicholas-Tyler Office is located on the site of the Nicholas-Tyler House, where Robert Carter Nicholas, treasurer of Virginia, once owned a large house and several outbuildings. In 1841, while residing here as Vice President, John Tyler received the news that President William Henry Harrison had passed away, making Tyler the 10th President of the United States. This property holds a key place in American history, serving as the backdrop for one of the most pivotal moments in early U.S. presidential history.
