Phillip Barnard is the guest on this episode talking about the history of one of the most under rated historic buildings in RVA, Masons’ Hall.  It is one of a handful of 18th century buildings in the area.  During the early days of the city it was an early site for elections and courts, and a one of the sites to house debates on the constitution.

These topics and more are covered in this, part one.  Part 2 mostly covers the building’s role during the War of 1812, the Civil War and beyond.
