Emmons MJ and Morrissey C. 2024. Sampson-White Joiner Shop National Historic Landmark Nomination. National Historic Landmark Nominations. 100009826_NHL. National Park Service. Washington, DC
The National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the Sampson-White Joiner Shop in Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, documents its national significance as the only known surviving eighteenth-century woodworking shop in its original location and with its fixtures intact. Its significance is documented under NHL Criterion 1 for embodying the early American woodworking trades that helped to build the young United States, and under Criterion 4, as an exceptional example of an early American joiners’ workshop, a distinct but rarely surviving architectural type. The two primary craftsmen associated with the Sampson-White Shop were Luther Sampson (ownership from 1785-1795) and Joseph White (ownership from 1795-1843), establishing its period of significance from 1785 to 1843.
