Inspiration
Bassett Hall was one of the original surviving buildings that Rev. Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, the visionary behind Colonial Williamsburg’s restoration, showed to philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. in 1926. A two-story 18th-century white frame house nestled on 585 acres of lawn, gardens, and woodlands, Bassett Hall was built between 1753 and 1766 by House of Burgesses’ member Philip Johnson. It was purchased around 1800 by Virginia legislator and congressman Burwell Bassett, a nephew of Martha Washington. Colonial Williamsburg purchased the property in 1927 and it became the Rockefellers’ home from 1936-1948.
