E for Everard House

This was built in 1718 by the first keeper of Williamsburg's Magazine, John Brush. The house was five-bay, timber framed, and a story-and-a-half. It was built out of hand-split weatherboard stands, too. Later on, this was home to Henry Cary, the builder of the Govenor’s Palace. The Everard house is located next to the Govenor’s Palace, which was built by Henry after he moved in.
