Tucker Cottage
SeitzGeorge > albums > Historic Homes
Album Info:
Built about 1798, it is believed to be the oldest remaining structure in the Jackson Ward neighborhood. The cottage is named after the original owner, Joel Tucker. It serves as an example of how commoners lived in the early 19th century. In late 2000, the city of Richmond moved the cottage from its original spot next to Third Street Bethel Church, so the church could expand. The cottage had been used as an office and storage building for a nearby motel. It sat under a tarp in the 700 block of North Second Street until it was moved in May 2004 to 701 Chamberlayne Parkway, where a service station was cleared to make way for the house.
