Title: The Glass House Project Fosters Literal and Historical Transparency at Menokin Ruins in Virginia
Author: Philip Stevens
Abstract: construction work has begun on the ‘glass house project’, which will transform and preserve the ruins of a historic building in the US state of virginia that was the home of francis lightfoot lee — a signer of the declaration of independence. with architectural design by boston-based firm machado silvetti, the initiative will preserve the remaining portions of the 1769 ‘menokin’ house and replace missing walls, floors, and sections of the roof with glass. the glass serves not merely as a protective covering for the fragile original structure, but as part of an integral whole that brings the house back to life.

A Work in Progress- Archaeology at Menokin (Blog Post)
Title: A Work in Progress- Archaeology at Menokin
Author: Laurel Tollison
Abstract: The world around Menokin may be moving slow but work on the ruin at Menokin is just speeding up. The stabilization process is in full swing. As Alice French, Director of Education and Public Programming, discussed in a recent post, the first phase of the process involves the removal of Calder’s Corner. Calder’s Corner is the corner of the house that contains the south side and the west side. The mason team under Oak Grove Restoration has taken on this project. The stones from the wall have been removed and their location has been recorded, in case they are put back in later phases of the stabilization. With the removal of the walls, the archaeology on Calder’s Corner began. Menokin’s archaeology team is from the Fairfield Foundation and is headed by Thane Harpole.
