Description:

The newest building to be reconstructed in Colonial Williamsburg.
Careful research was followed to assure the building was recreated to be exactly the way the original was. Builders even used the original foundation that was carefully excavated on the property. Completed in late 2009, R. Charlton's Coffeehouse is a popular attraction for visitors to Williamsburg.

From the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Web-site
English coffeehouses appeared in the 17th century and quickly became popular. These establishments provided patrons with new beverages such as coffee, tea, and chocolate. Even more importantly, coffeehouses served as sites for the energetic discussion of politics, news, and business. Despite Williamsburg's relatively small size, locals sought to emulate the cosmopolitan fashions of Europe, which included this coffeehouse culture.
In the early 1760s, Richard Charlton, a local wigmaker, became proprietor of a newly converted coffeehouse near the Capitol. During the ten years the coffeehouse was open, many important political figures frequented its rooms, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Lieutenant-Governor Francis Fauquier, as well as many merchants and gentry.
