six pounds at that time, it was a valuable piece. The shop may have been added in the mid 1800s.
Restoration was begun in 1965 by potter June Jordan and her husband Wayne Jenkins, and continued by Linda and Dean Morehouse when they bought the property in 1982. They added the two-story addition with the assistance of Peter Kreyling of Washington.
Between the buildings Dean Morehouse added a large slate patio as well as a smaller one outside the bedroom doors and at the foot of the huge kitchen chimney. Inside, the original logs can be seen between kitchen and living room; old plaster has been removed from the ceiling, exposing the large beams typical of these old structures.
Other homes to be shown include Mount Prospect, the residence of Col. and Mrs. Stewart Willis, not quite a half-mile south of the Morehouse property and Spring Hill Farm, home of C. Keeton and Aileen Barnes on the east side of Route 622 one mile north of Rediviva where tea will be served both afternoons of the tour.
Also open this weekend will be Miss Ruby Jenkins’ Washington Museum on Main Street and the Rappahannock Historical Society Building
