Flowerdew Hundred Detached Kitchen

Built by John Vaughan Willcox in 1820, the detached kitchen/laundry survived into the early 1940's. Excavated in the 1980's, the structure was replicated in 1988 and is based on braced frame construction typical of the nineteenth century.
 The original structure saw much adaptive use. After the Civil War, the kitchen/laundry served as a temporary residence for freed African-Americans. By the 1930's, the building was being used as a farm equipment storage shed with an attached blacksmith shop.
