Steuart Blakemore Building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Steuart Blakemore Building, built c. 1900, is a museum and historical archive, part of the Mary Ball Washington Museum and Library in Lancaster, Virginia.
It forms a part of a five building complex, located in the Lancaster Courthouse Historic District, which also includes the Old Jail (1820), Clerk's Office (c. 1797), and Lancaster House.
The Museum is open to the public, who may view exhibits, participate in educational programs and trace family histories. It seeks to recapture the stories and the rich history of the people of The Northern Neck of the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia.
The building is named after George H Steuart Jr, a native of Lancaster County, who donated it to the museum. Steuart was a Foreign Service Officer who retired as consul general in Liverpool, England. He died on September 19 1998, in Falls Church, Virginia.
