William Brown Carpentry Shop

This is a reconstruction of the carpentry shop at London Town that was owned by William Brown. The shop is constructed using 18th century techniques and includes the use of rose head nails and leaded glass windows. The shop is reconstructed on the site identified through archaeological research.

 

From the Londontown. org site:

William Brown was involved with London Town from at least the late 1740s through his

death in the early 1790s.1

During that time he was called carpenter, cabinet-maker, joiner,

sawyer, undertaker, tavern keeper, and ferry keeper. He was influential enough to have large

amounts of credit extended to him and respected to safeguard the provincial records at the

beginning to the American Revolution. And he was unfortunate enough to eventually go

bankrupt and die in Annapolis a very poor individual.
