were lauded by ;. Charles F.
Hummel, curator of the Henry

. Museum, in Delaware, and C.
Malcolrtj. Watkins who is
chairman of the Department of
Cultural History of the
Smithsonian Institution. .i&&
They had discussed the
restoration ' project with
Williams and in lettera written
to him earlier this nifenth
described it as unique and
important. ,, l
"It is very good news to find
that your -association plans a
careful restoration of that
house," Hummel said.
But he said he is more pleased
i about plans for the Theophilus
-; White House as a museum of
construction techniques and
tools used to build early houses.
; "There are a great many
' restored houses along the East
, Coast but," he said, "to my
knowledge' no permanent
exhibition of the building trade
skills possessed by 17th and 18th
' century .earpentera and
masons'-"-"',;, i... v r v .x
"It seems to , me that
I fulfillment of your plans would
represent a significant and new
contribution to the museum
field in America" he said. '
, One local restoration official
said he hoped the public would
', remember those words, realise
their importance, and con
' tribute during the forthcoming
fund-raising campaign. Money
must be raised locally aa
matching funds for grants that
' will be received,

potential," he said

there may be no living workmen
experienced in this type of
construction and few people
who can understand the
significance of handcraft

Watkins described the plana
as, "a refreshing change from
the compulsion felt by many
who. are responsible for the
restoration of historic sites to
recreate the interior settings
and the modes of decoration in
the past, while paying no regard
to the fundamental skills that
made the house possible in the
first place.
