King William County Architectural Survey

The King William County Historical Society, with significant support from King William County, matched a grant from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) to fund an initial architectural survey of the county. The goal of this project was to update the architectural records for some of King William County’s most important historic buildings, while also recording other significant landmarks, adding to our understanding of the county’s built history. The project funded an architectural historian to revisit and update information on 80 previously identified historic properties, and 40 undocumented ones. This information will help the historical society, county planners, and the DHR evaluate which historic resources need assistance, what incentives might be possible to help property owners preserve their historic buildings, and how to best share these invaluable resources with the community.
