This study presents material compiled in 1975 and edited in 1977 for the Architectural Data Section of the Historic Structures Report for the dependencies (outbuildings) of the properties of the Blow Estate. The properties consist of the Nelson, Smith, and Ballard Houses on Lots 48, 52, 53, and 54 at Colonial National Historical Park, Yorktown, Virginia. While these structures were not scheduled for reconstruction, this study can be used to better interpret the appearance, use, and importance of outbuildings in Colonial households and to provide background material for potential future investigations of the Blow Estate. It includes general information about dependencies during the historic period, building materials and construction details, description of features, and use. Illustrations are included.
