Series 2: Providence Hall Papers, 1950/2013

Out of all the properties in Williamsburg that Virginia B. Haughwout bequeathed to Cutler and the BBMF, Providence Hall is the one mentioned the most in this collection. Haughwout had Providence Hall moved from its original location in Providence Forge, New Kent County and rebuilt in Williamsburg, adjacent to the Colonial Williamsburg historic area. Since Haughwout's death, Providence Hall has served a variety of purposes: first as a personal residence for the Bucktrout-Braithwaite family, then as a gallery for eighteenth-century antiques and decorative arts, and later as a property leased to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, where it today still serves as a conference center and lodging. Several international dignitaries have visited Providence Hall, including President Ronald Reagan and Emperor Hirohito of Japan. Papers include leasing agreements, financial reports, restoration plans, site inspections, and the construction plans for Bucktrout Cottage, an outbuilding on the property.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
