Coke-Garrett House (c 1755, 1810, 1837) @ Colonial Williamsburg - Williamsburg, VA, USA

The left wing of the Coke-Garrett House was built sometime after silversmith and tavern keeper John Coke acquired the land in 1755. Planter Richard Garrett purchased the property in 1810 and erected the brick office to the right. His son, Dr. Robert Garrett, added the two-story section in 1837. The frame wing to the left of the brick office, built elsewhere ~1800, was moved here before the American Civil War.
