Mud & Stud Building at Jamestown Settlement
The building was built square at one end, then skewed as it approached the other end of the building. It is believed that people who were not taking the time and energy to construct the building in a normal organized way quickly constructed this building. The building consisted of sidewall construction where the sides of the building are constructed in a flat position on the ground and then tilted up into position with the post set in pre-dug holes. The replica structure has a waddle and daub exterior and thatch roof. Jointery for the building included joints that were utilized for over 300 years in England.
