Field work for the complete investigative archeological survey of all pertinent information concerning the ruins and site of the Orangerie Building at Hampton National Historic Site. The investigation was undertaken to gather structural information for the proposed reconstruction of the orangerie, tentatively scheduled for Spring 1975.
