Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Pierce's (P33), located at Toano. This was originally "Taylor's" but prior to the Civil War was bought by Mr. Felix Pierce. There were three cemeteries on the place, one belonging to the Taylor family and two so old that no one recollects who was buried in them. After the Pierces died, this place was bought by Mr. Wesley Marston. The chimney and foundations are the only parts of the original house left which bear evidence of early eighteenth century construction, the chimney being laid in Flemish bond on flat side, and English bond on front and back surfaces. Photographic print, 5"x7", black and white, showing a side view. Undated.
