: Peyton Randolph House Smokehouse Reconstruction
The Peyton Randolph Smokehouse was the first building to be reconstructed on the Randolph property. It is an earthen-floored 12-foot-square building constructed of riven (split) oak and sawn poplar. Many surviving smokehouses (including some in Williamsburg itself) were examined in an effort to produce as accurate a reconstruction as possible. The smokehouse was sided with long-leaf yellow pine weatherboards and riven oak clapboards, and shingled with scalloped Atlantic white cedar shingles. The door and trim are also constructed of long-leaf yellow pine.
