Wessel's Root Cellar, State Routes 701 & 692 vicinity, Hallwood, Accomack County, Virginia
Summary
Significance: Wessels Root Cellar is a small brick structure built sometime after 1768 by William Wessels. Unusually for Colonial period root cellars, Wessels's was separate from the main house. The house burned in 1937 but the root cellar continued to be used.
The cellar is also notable for the decorative header pattern in the gable that was created by using overfired bricks.
