Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report of Archaeology at the Robert Toombs House Historic Site Washington, Georgia, 1976 Results of historical research were some dubious answers to questions ad dressed. The majority of available sources were secondary at best. Many did not have footnotes, citations, or bibliographies. Architectural research brought recommendations for stabilizing foundations and controlling the climate of the basement, among others. Architectural analysis revealed many anomalies in the house. Windows covered over, door placements altered, mortises empty of tenons, ceilings raised, lathing cut by different methods were just a few. The frame of the house was obviously not a consequence of a single phase of construction. A complex, but incomplete, picture was produced.
