What it is

This is a photograph taken on 12 July 2016 by Ser Amantio di Nicolao. It shows a small log building with a white-painted gable end bearing a cross, a shingled roof with a small green-capped cupola, and white plank doors, set on a grassy lawn. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under reference number 78003012.

Why it matters

The carriage house is an outbuilding at the Red Hill memorial, the site linked to Henry's final home. The photograph shows how the memorial site looks today. It is a modern view, so it tells us about how the site is preserved and presented rather than about the 1700s itself.

Look closer

  • What features of the building, such as the cross, the cupola, and the log walls, suggest the style of the period it represents?
  • Who decided how this memorial would look today, and what might a modern restoration leave out?
