The Barlow House East Duke of Gloucester Street, Williamsburg, Virginia
The Barlow House is one of the oldest houses in Williamsburg. The architecture is so typical of "Old Virginia" that the dwelling was once described as a place "where the charm of colonial days still lingers." The restoration of this colonial four room story-and-a-half dormer-windowed cottage by using much new, best quality material, still preserves this charm with all its new attractiveness.
When the Barlow House was built is a question; but from old documents still preserved here the names of several successive owners are known: Gabriel Boccairodo, George Bray, Edward Teagle, John Augustine De Neufiville, and John Holdsworth Barlow, son-in-law of De Neufville.
A precious heirloom is cherished by the present life tenant of the Barlow House, whose grandmother, as Miss Henriette Fayette De Neufville, met General LaFayette at the Pariadise HOuse in 1824, when he gave her (MIss Fayette) an elegant silk badge bearing his name, portrait, and a motto.
