Fredericksburg - Silversmith House

Silversmith's House has an interesting history. Originally built by silversmith James Brown, this wonderful structure now acts as one of Fredericksburg's prominent art galleries. The home is half-timbered and clapboard structure and was built in and around 1785. The home was slated for demolition in the early 1960's but was saved by the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation. The home provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of a prominent tradesman in the late 18th Century.
