George Wythe House in Williamsburg George Wythe—patriot, lawyer, educator, chancel- lor—was one of the foremost Americans of his day. As a burgess, the Clerk of the House of Burgesses, the Mayor of Williamsburg, the Speaker of the House of Delegates, and the Judge of Chancery Court, he was highly honored by his fellow countrymen and universally respected and beloved. He was among Vir- ginia’s signers of the Declaration of Independence and America’s first law professor at the College of William and Mary. Wythe’s distinguished personality is characterized by the integrity, benevolence, and virtue he used to help his country lay the foundations of government. His home, the famed hipped-roofed house, 200 years old, is still standing in its original splendor. This spacious, but simple house, is a typical Virginia colo- nial dwelling, and, it is indeed symbolic of the humble Wythe. PROPERTY OF “ HE LIBRARY OF VIRGINTA OF Via RICHMOND, VA

George Wythe High in Richmond Embodying the ideals of the man and the statue of the house, George Wythe High School began in 1956 when a committee of citizens, teachers, and the stu- dents met to discuss what was wanted in the new school. The land was purchased and the architect drew the plans for the school in 1958; and in 1959, actual construction on the building began. The $3,078,533.89 building was completed and ready for occupancy in 1960. The school is modern in all aspects, offering every modern facility found in any secondary institution of education in the United States. Some of the more unique features of the school plant are three multi- purpose rooms, two shops, showers and team rooms for each sex, a nurses’ suite, three cafeterias, three military cadet rooms, and many other conveniences which add to the modern plan of the school. Also George Wythe is fortunate to be the first school on the East Coast from Virginia to Florida to have an IBM installation. In September, 1960, 1,536 students entered George Wythe and are beginning to build a tradition and spirit which will match the pattern of integrity, benevolence, and humility set by George Wythe, the man.
