Step into history with a stay at the Richard Crump House, located on Francis Street just a block east of Market Square. This restored 18th-century property offers a unique glimpse into the life of a Williamsburg resident during the late 1700s. Owned by Richard Crump from 1785 to 1794, the house is a testament to the architectural and cultural history of colonial Virginia.
A Rich History Reconstructed
The original structure disappeared by the mid-19th century, but archaeological evidence from 1949 revealed details about its size and location. Using these findings, the house was reconstructed in 1950 to resemble a typical 18th-century hall-and-parlor dwelling.
The central hall leads to two rooms: the parlor for public use and the hall as a living or working space, reflecting the everyday lives of many colonists during the period and making it an ideal setting for experiencing Williamsburg’s past.
