June 30, 1930. Work began at 8 a.m. under the direction of Prentice Duell, Archeologist; Herbert S. Ragland, Field Supt., John B. Etheridge, Foreman. 7 workmen - Notes by H.S. Ragland. Foremen & Labor supplied by Todd & Brown Inc. Trial trenches were dug north of and East and west of the "Matty" School, all of which at a depth of about one foot began to show brick and plaster remains. No walls were uncovered today but in trench no. 3 found what appears to be an old brick drain.

See sketch on next page, showing location of trial trenches. The brick drain runs North & South about parallel with West wall produced of Matty School & 3' or 4' to the west of it produced. Part of drain first uncovered is about 30 ft. north of Matty School.

6

July 1, 1930 - 8 man 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Excavated deeper in trenches started yesterday and in trench no. 3, about 35 ft. N. of School and about in line with the west wall of it found what is apparently a stone step nosing or perhaps swirl of step. This was in trench with the drain found yesterday. Found parts of 3 walls; one of them in trench no. 2 running East & west parallel with North brick wall of Matty School & about 12 ft. from it, and first uncovered about 3 ½ ft. below ground surface; 2nd wall parallel to wall first mentioned and about 26 ft. north of it and 3 or 4 ft. below present ground surface; & 3rd wall about 16 ft. north of second wall and also running East & west, about 18" below surface. In trench no. 3, in what appears to be a drain, found bones, which Dr. Foster, former Supt. of Eastern State Hospital, identified as human. Found other bones, apparently animal.

8

July lst continued. Found a Key in trench no. 2, about 10 ft. North of School & 15 ft. E, of new cor. of school and alongside wall in brick & mortar debris & 6 ft. below surface. Key is 5 ½" long, & apparently a door Key.¹ Also found a number of pieces of China, glassware, parts of bottles, part of an old clay pipe etc. About 4 p.m. uncovered a wall about 3' wide about 1 ft. below ground, running North & South. It may be west wall of the of the [sic] rear or ball room portion of the Palace building.

9

July 2, 1930. - 10 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 P.m. Uncovered more of walls found yesterday and wall which is 38 ft. north of Matty School shows parts of 2 arches springing up from it, [1a] Sketches of Whaley School -2- one to the North & the other to the South. Adjacent to the North side of this wall about 7' below ground surface found brick paved floor. Uncovered more of 3 ft. wall running N. & S. found yesterday and about 28 ft. East of it a parallel wall of same dimension, apparently the last wall of ball room portion of Palace building.

10

July 3, 1930 - 10 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 P.M. Uncovered, six inches below surface and about 130 ft. North of school what appears to be remains of chimney foundation and on E & W sides of it, what may be the rear wall of the building. Found a spoon in western part of excavation for the wall, just mentioned. Also, found what looks like piece of stone paving slab. Wheeled all excavated material to rear of lot and cleaned up job. Whole bricks and ½ bricks and larger bats are being placed in separate pile & saved.

July 4	Holiday )
July 5	" )	No work done
July 6	Sunday )

11

July 7, 1930 - 11 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Uncovered more of wall in trench no. 2 11 ft. North of School, and a door opening, apparently.

Cut down 2 locust trees & removed them from the foundation site. Found in trench no. 2 a key - Looks like old bureau Key.² Found hatchet in same trench.³ Exposed today more of walls previously mentioned, Excavating what seems to have been palace basement.

12

July 8, 1930. 16 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 P.m. Uncovered stone flagging or paving about 10 ft. North of school, apparently the basement floor of the palace bldg. This floor 7 ½ ft. below ground surface. Also, found brick steps, which apparently once had wood nosings, leading from west side of building into basement. Flight of steps in an E & W direction. Also wall running N & S & apparently running under Matty School near the center of it. Now following this wall with the excavation to determine if Matty School is built over it and the palace site. Dug up hand made nails, bits of china, glass, another old hatchet etc.

13

July 9/30 - 26 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 P.M. Uncovered larger area of basement floor (stone flagging) & parts of interior walls. Wall mentioned yesterday running N & S near center of Matty School was uncovered today to School wall.

-3-

Apparently this wall & lower portion of the Matty School North wall were built at the same time, and that both are palace walls. It seems that the North wall of the school is built on the foundation part of the old South or front wall of the Palace. It is very evident that the lower part of the North wall of the school is older than the portion above it. The brickwork is entirely different. The old part of wall begins 4 ft. below surface of ground.

14

July 9 Continued. Piece of stone about 2 ½ ft. long x 16" wide x 3 ½" thick, molded on both edges, found 6 ft. below surface in basement about 12 ft. North of Matty School, or 12' N. of the front wall of the Palace, near door opening in E & W wall which is 11 ft. N. of School or front wall. A piece of iron about 2 ft. long x 9" wide 1" thick found near pc. of stone above mentioned. It was about 6 ft. below surface, and looks like part of an iron fire back.⁴

15

July 10 -/30. - 28 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 P.m. Uncovered chimney foundation, about 17 ft. north of School at nearest point of chimney. Chimney is in position shown on blue print made by Perry Shaw & Hepburn from Jefferson's Plan of the Palace, and the sealed dimension from the blue print checks closely with actual measurements from chimney to Matty School, proving it seems, that the Matty School wall is built on portion of front wall of the Palace Bldg. Hereafter I shall call it the front wall of the Palace Bldg. So, it seems, that to date, the front wall, the chimney at the rear of the hall, and the two side walls of the ball room portion of the palace have been found and other walls not yet certainly identified.

16

July 11, 1930. 27 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Continued excavation today in west portion of building under locations, which Perry Shaw & Hepburn have called, according to their plan, No. Dining Room Butlers Pantry & Front Hall. Apparently there was a basement in all of this area, which was filled from the surface of the ground to basement floor with brick and mortar debris. In basement, under Dining Room, Hall, Entrance Hall (reached by stairs from the outside & west of the bldg) Passage or Rear Hall at east of chimney. The floor is paved with stone slabs of rectangular shape. Basement, under portion marked on plan, Butlers Pantry, is paved with brick. Cut roots of stump of locust tree, preparatory to moving stump. Protected with lumber door opening in rear of chimney, and also parts of drain on west side of building. Started trial trenches to look for wall between Ball Room & supper room and cleaned up part of surface of debris. Also, on East side of supper room trial trench was begun to check the possibility of bldg. being of H plan. At closing time no wall uncovered.

-4-

18

Sat. July 12/30 21 men - 8 a.m. to 12 N. Cut roots of large locust stump and removed it from Site of Building. Cleaned up debris previously thrown out of the Excavation, (so much of it had accumulated around the edges of the excavation) and wheeled it to rear of the lot, so that, if desired, it can be screened later. No new excavation made today in main basement. Continued Excavating in trenches looking for wall between Supper Rm & Ball Room, and in trench to East of Supper Room to check the possibility of bldg, being of H plan, but no walls found.

Erected about 100 ft. of fence today to enclose site, and keep out the public.

July 13, 1930 - Sunday

July 14, 1930 - 27 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 P.m. Continued wheeling to dump, on rear of lot, material thrown previously out of excavation. Practically cleared around excavation today making the banks safe from caving. Also, braced walls at door openings & covered walls with timber where bricks were loose. Continued excavating in trenches near rear of building but uncovered no more walls today.

4 men from this job were sent during afternoon to House E. of Paradise House and began screening the excavated material there.

20

July 15, 1930 - 19 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. 4 men screening earth & debris at House E. of Paradise House. Cutting Roots and excavating around second locust tree stump, preparatory to moving it. Tree was growing about the center of the site of the palace and was cut down on July 7 as was other tree, stump of which was removed yesterday. Continued wheeling excavated material to dump at rear of lot, for future additional examination & screening, if desired. Also, continued bracing walls & protecting foundations previously uncovered. Practically all material Excavated from main portion of site, and especially the basement, so far, is brick & mortar debris, with only a small portion of earth. About 4 p.m. removed locust tree stump from [sic] (mentioned above) from the site of the building. This stump was lame, the diameter of the tree about 2' above ground was 28" - stump 2' below ground was 6' dia. Near chimney at rear of hall the stone floor of basement is 7'3" below present surface of the ground.

21

July 16, 1930 - 16 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Cut down 3rd tree today & removed it from site. Tree about the size of one, stump of which was removed yesterday. Diameter of trunk 34".

23

July 18/30. 27 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Found today underground tunnel of brick present opening about 2 ft. wide & 3' high running E & W 11' north of Front wall of Palace Bldg [sic] Foundation produced. It connects with Palace Basement under basement steps and runs to the westward under Palace or Tyler St. with 2 angles or curves in it, and thence towards ravine to the westward. Top of tunnel is about 6' deep at west side of Palace St. Excavated today, in depth 3 ft. of the tunnel at W. side of Palace St. Pictures were taken today by Clyde Holmes of the "Matty" School to show the elevations and architectural details for purposes of record before the school is razed.

6 men at House E. of Paradise House screening excavated material.

24

July 18/30 - Cut down at S.E. Corner of site 4th locust tree today, diameter 32" inches. No careful measurements made of tunnel today. Bottom of it not reached yet. Measurements taken are only approximate & merely for purpose of describing its general location. It does not look like usual drain although, apparently in recent years, a 6" sewer or drain apparently from Matty School has emptied into it.

July 19 - On the west side of Palace St. top of tunnel or drain has been broken for a distance of 12 or 15 feet, and here we have excavated to bottom of it. The bottom is flat and paved with brick. Opening is 2' wide & 3'2" high.

Continued wrecking Matty School. Began building tool house on job. Continued wheeling excavated material to dump at rear of lot. Keeping banks around excavation clear. Uncovered a small part of main west wall near S.W. cor. of bldg. This is first part of this wall yet found. Remainder of west wall of main part of bldg. has been removed, supposedly for the bricks. It is clear however where this wall stood for original lines of excavation for the bldg. are clearly defined by debris falling away, as excavated, from the original earth wall of the cut. There are also evidences, at the bottom [sic] basement floor level, of the fact that the west wall & part of the south [sic] north wall of main portion have been removed.

8 men at House E. of Paradise House screening excavated material.

This part will be excavated after school is pulled down. Continued pulling down school today, and wheeling excavated material to rear of lot, Keeping banks clear of debris - Excavated today passageway running N. & S. through center of basement.

The passageway is paved with stone slabs.

8 men at House E. of Paradise House screening excavated material & filling foundation.

31

Sat. July 26, 1930 - 25 men 8 a.m. - 12 N. Continued excavation of basement just east of center line of building. Uncovered 2 walls forming passageway running E & W from East side basement & connecting at right angles with center passageway running N & S previously mentioned. Continued building tool house & wrecking Matty School - Old bricks from School, which perhaps were once used in Palace, for they are the same size as those in Palace foundation walls, are being saved & stacked near site of Palace, for use in restored bldg., if desired -

8 men at House E. of Paradise House, screening excavated material & filling foundation.

32

Sat. July 26 Continued Stump of 4th locust tree removed today.

Uncovered part of rear wall of main portion of building at a corner formed by the intersection of the east wall of the center north & south passageway in basement. Continued wrecking Matty School. The School is ¾ practically [sic] down now, but much debris has to be moved away & bricks stacked. -8- 8 men at House E. of Paradise House screening excavated material & back filling foundation.

34 & 35

Tuesday July 29/30. 46 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Much marble in small pieces has been found in East side of basement[sic] basement in space immediately under the East side of hall. Most of the marble excavated has been found under hall & in vicinity of Hall Chimney. It is possible there was a marble floor in the hall, & a handsome marble mantel in the hall. However, marble has been found in other parts of the basement, today a few pieces were picked up under Library. The hall chimney, judging from smoked bricks, fell south-easterly. Therefore parts of marble mantel etc. would have fallen on East side of hall and in basement below. Much marble was found in basement under hall & most of that on East side.

7 men screening at House E. of Paradise House.

35

Wed. July 30/30. -
46 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Still pulling down school walls (it is down nearly to ground now) and cleaning & stacking bricks & hauling away debris. Excavating East side basement. Front portion East side of basement is paved with stone slabs, the rear portion with brick, which corresponds with the west side of basement.

7 men screening & filling at House East of Paradise House. Work discontinued today. 7 boxes of remains but foundation not quite filled - short of earth due to hauling away brick bats -

36 & 37

Thursday July 31, 1930 -
46 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Continued Excavation in basement in front of bldg & S W Corner. Basement floor is of brick in center of bldg. from front wall to a line about 7 ft. north of & parallel to the front wall. All the remaining portion of the basement under hall & much of the front half, of basement is paved with stone slabs. Uncovered all of basement floor underneath entrance hall. The rear wall of main portion of bldg. is 3 ft. wide. Foreman Made tool house into office & is building tool house. Matty School walls are pulled down to ground, but walls in ground still have to be removed.

Debris is being hauled away. All remains from the excavation are stored in School bldg. near site on Palace Green in NW Corner Room, 1st Floor. To date there are 26 Boxes (15" x 28" x 15") filled with remains from the excavation of the Palace. A carved piece of marble, perhaps, a part of the hall mantel was dug up today about 15' N. of Front -9- wall & 15' E. of [center line] of Bldg. Also, a whole bottle, stone crockery ware about the same place. Much marble in small pieces was also dug up near & with the piece mentioned above.

38 - 41

Friday, August 1, 1930 -
46 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Continued Excavation main basement and uncovered the S.W. Corner of main portion of building. As far as Excavation has proceeded the front wall is intact for at least a foot or two above the basement floor. There are 2 or 3 feet of the main west wall at S.W. Corner & a smaller piece several feet north of it, but the remainder has been removed. However with the 2 pieces of it mentioned above the direction & width can [sic] be easily determined as soon as completely uncovered. Small section of interior wall running E & W about 8 or 9 feet north of & parallel to front wall & under parlor at front of bldg. on east side, apparently was struck by hall chimney in falling for wall was badly cracked in several places & about to fall over to the Southward. The chimney evidently fell South easterly, for smoked bricks were also found in this area.

Much marble also excavated from the debris today. The debris consists almost entirely of bricks & mortar, practically no earth excavated today. Two pieces of carved marble were found in E & W passageway about under Library, East side of building. Both pieces look like parts of mantel. One piece has a deer & other carving on it & the second piece branch of tree or shrub.

I think, considering the amount of marble & the size, carving & thickness of pieces found, that there must have been marble mantels in hall & library, and perhaps also in front parlor. The carving on the several pieces found suggests that the local fauna & flora may have been depicted for to me, some of the carving suggests at least, the chinquapin or perhaps a hazel bush or tree, another piece, a poplar bud, another, the trumpet flower (the vine is sometimes called can itch), and there is the deer. Also, what looks like wild grapes & althea. At the bottom of the copper plate on which are shown the elevations of the College, the Capitol & the Governor's Palace, there is space in which is shown the local fauna & flora. Such a design may have been used in the Governor's Palace. A piece of marble about 4" x 6" x 8" fastened with iron to a piece of stone about 6" x 6" x 8" was found in East & west passage way, East side of bldg. under Library today.

42

Saturday Aug. 2, 1930. 29 men 8 a.m. - 12 noon. Cleaned up job today. Swept walls & floors so that they can more readily be seen & examined & continued excavation of basement in S.E. Corner of main portion of building under front parlor. Continued hauling away debris from Matty School which to date has been razed -10- with the Exception of foundation walls which cannot be removed until debris now covering them is moved away.

43 & 44

Monday Aug 4/30 43 men - 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Continued excavation East side of basement & uncovered part of east main side wall aprox 33" wide, which is the same width as the West side wall. Also, uncovered large chimney on East side of basement about 17 feet north of main front wall of building. The fireplace of the chimney ^* is 4'-4" wide but apparently was not used in basement for it is plastered. Also found N & S wall at East end of E & W passageway, (previously mentioned) which closes passageway (as I call it in these notes,) leaving only entrance to it at its western end, which connects with main N & S passageway through bldg Therefore, I must have called this wrongly a passageway. The stairs from the first floor to basement may have been here. Mr. Leyton of Richmond under the personal direction of Mr. Duell took a number of photographs of the foundations today while work of excavation was in progress.

44

Aug 5 1930 - Wallace Etheridge & Robt. Barrett employed today by Todd & Brown & put to work today as assistants to me, to help in measuring walls filing & cataloguing material from the excavations etc. Both of them are College boys Etheridge is today sorting special remains preparatory to tagging & numbering it & Barrett is assisting Perkins with the work in the cemetery -

45 & 46

Aug 5, 1930 - Tuesday 38 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Approximately under Library & on both sides of what I have, in these notes, called E & W passageway are a number of 4" walls running N & S & forming, with larger E & W walls, a number of small box like enclosures. These box like places are about 3¾ ft. x 3 ft. and the brickwork does not seem as old as that in other & larger walls.

The Chimney on the East side of bldg (perhaps it is parlor Chimney) found Aug 4 may have fallen southwardly, for about 10' or 12' South of it many smoked bricks & a broken interior basement wall were found. I have previously recorded in these notes that I thought hall chimney must have fallen south eastwardly where the smoked bricks & broken wall were found, but since finding the chimney on the Last side of bldg. I may be in error as to direction in which hall chimney fell, and -11- that the broken wall was caused by the fall of the East side chimney & that the smoked bricks are from it. All smoked bricks excavated to date were found in the S.E. Corner of the basement under parlor & Last side of hall.

47

Wed. Aug 6/30 - 37 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Continued excavation of Last Side of basement.

Aug 15 - This Matty School wall built of smoked bricks.

Front wall in S.E. Corner badly smoked. No East main wall found near SE Corner adjacent to front wall, although apparently the front wall itself is still there including the Corner.

Aug 15 - This is not palace wall but wall of Matty School built of smoked bricks.

About 3 feet north of the front wall at the S.E. Corner the East wall was found for a distance of 8 or 10 feet.

Aug. 15. Only the western half of front wall of Palace was found. What was at first thought original wall on Eastern side was Matty School wall.

This smoked wall apparently is wall of Matty School built on the Palace Wall of chimney bricks. However only about 1 ft. or 1 ½ ft. of the Palace ? ? here.

Aug 15/30. No part of Palace wall found here. It is all part of the Matty School wall.

More complete examination of this wall will be made after dirt is brushed & washed off -

48

Thursday Aug. 7/30 - 36 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. N.E. corner of basement excavated today & side & rear walls of main portion of bldg. at N.E. corner has been removed. As previously recorded, the NW Corner of the main portion is also gone. However, parts of all four walls of the main portion have been found now so that the Corners can be located- In the East side of front portion of the building the basement is divided into 3 rooms or cellars. The longest dimension of the middle one is east & west & it has been further cut up, apparently after the building was completed somewhat like this:

Friday Aug 8, 1930 -
30 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Practically finished excavation of basement, front portion of Palace, today. Uncovered a second portion of main East wall near the N.E. Corner today. N.E. Corner has been removed -

51

Sat. Aug. 9, 1930 - 29 men 8 a.m. - 12 Noon
Eastern End of rear wall of main portion of building shows an arch springing from it. The N.E. Corner basement room therefore must have had a brick arched ceiling. The N.W. Cor. basement room & basement room adjoining it on the South at west side of bldg, also had brick arched ceilings, for the wall between them has 2 arches springing from it, as previously mentioned. If the bldg. was symmetrical, then the room adjoining the N.E. basement room on the East side of bldg. also had Brick arched ceiling - See rough sketch on page 49. Cleaned up job today.

52 & 53

Monday Aug 11/30 - 29 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. -
J. E. Fauber Jr reported for work this morning as draftsman and assistant on the archaeological excavation work. Had him make field sketch of walls already uncovered and assist in taking field measurements & making notations an sketch about foundations already uncovered. Began excavating on South Side of rear wall of Matty School (which is built on part of front foundation wall of the Palace) and uncovered several feet underground part of the Palace wall on which the School wall is built. The palace front wall is about 4" wider than the School wall, the offset being on the South Side of the school wall. Also, found what appears to be part of the foundation wall of the main entrance to the Palace. It was under the school, but apparently was not used for any purpose in the school construction. The wall runs N & S and perhaps was the West wall of the entrance or porch. It was cut to construct the rear wall of the School -

54 & 55

Tuesday Aug 12/30. -
29 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Cutting trench parallel to Matty School about ? feet East of it searching for walls of Eastern outbuilding. No walls uncovered here today. Measurements being taken today of walls already uncovered & sketch being made. Fauber & W. Etheridge taking the measurements. Began removing the remaining part of the rear or north wall of the Matty School which was built on the front wall of the palace. The eastern portion (half) of the front wall of the palace apparently has been removed for the new wall of the Matty School has been uncovered below the level of the basement floor of the Palace. The western half of the front wall of the Palace has been found at the S.W. cor. of the building & for about half the frontage several feet high -

55

Wed. Aug 13/30 -
31 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Continued measuring & sketching -13- foundations already uncovered, and pulling down the remaining walls of the Matty School. When the building was recently wrecked the walls were pulled down to the ground only. Walls below the surface are being removed now. Continued excavations for outbuildings -

56 & 57

Thursday Aug 14/30 38 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. In trench parallel to and 24 feet east of Matty School about 50 feet south of the front wall of the palace, found today fragment of wall which may be part of the eastern building.

Continued wrecking foundation walls of the Matty School and sketching foundation walls of the Palace Bldg -

Found brickwork, apparently brick paving of yard or bldg. about 25 ft. East of S.E. Cor. of the Palace Bldg. Also, found a wall about 25 ft. east of SE Cor of Palace Bldg., about in line with front wall of Palace which may be a part of the wall enclosing Court formed by the main bldg & the 2 outbuildings. Also near this point found part of larger brick wall, which perhaps is part of wall of outbuilding.

Continuing excavations, searching for walls & foundations of ball room & rear end of the Palace bldg, but found no additional brickwork today.

2 men working at House East of Paradise House completing the filling of that foundation of which we were short of dirt when filling was first done. See page 35 of this note book.

Friday Aug. 15th, 1930 -
men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Found part of a brick surface drain or gutter, running east and west, about 20 ft. east of the palace foundation & about 12 ft. north of the front wall of the Palace produced. Continuing excavations on site of rear of the Ball Room portion of the building, but no brick work uncovered here today. Also, continuing to pull down rear wall of Matty School, which rests on part of the front wall of the Palace, so as to leave only the original Palace front wall. Continuing sketching & measuring palace foundations.

Also, continued pulling down the other foundation walls of the Matty School, and continued excavations looking for walls of the palace outbuildings. Also continued excavations looking for walls and foundations in rear or ball room portion of the palace. Cleaned up basement and swept clean basement floor & all palace walls -

Monday Aug. 18th, 1930 - 24 men 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. The Eastern part of the rear wall of the Matty School, which was removed Saturday, was not superimposed on any part of the Palace Wall, but was built entirely as the School wall and rested on the clay foundation. This wall when first seen looked like a wall of the palace because the face of it was smoked. However, the wall was narrower by about 6" than the palace wall, and was built apparently of old palace bricks, largely of those that evidently came from the chimneys. Not only the face of the wall was smoked, but smoked bricks, very many of them, were found inside the wall, proving conclusively that these bricks were reused and that the wall could not have been a wall of the palace. No smoked bricks would be found inside of one of the original walls of the palace, for certainly no building would have been pulled down and the bricks reused in the palace. The part of the wall referred to and the art superimposed on the palace front wall, and (that part) now removed was certainly the Matty School wall as the width of it was about 6" less than the palace wall below it and the brick bond was modern American bond rather than the old English bond of the Palace wall itself. About half of the original front wall of the palace, the western half of it, was found including the SW Corner of it, and is now entirely exposed to view, the Matty School wall, which was superimposed on it, having been entirely removed.

Continued removing the other three walls of the Matty School foundation, which were built in area South of the Palace foundation. These walls are being removed so that the foundations cannot be confused with the Palace foundations or Palace outbuilding foundations -

Continued excavations for outbuildings and rear portion of the Palace.

63 & 64

Tues. Aug. 19/30 - 25 men. Continued work of removing Matty School walls and Excavations for outbuildings etc -

Wed. Aug 20/30 - 24 men. Completed the removal of walls of Matty School. Found ashes, about on E of rear portion of Palace bldg and about 21 feet north of rear wall of main portion and rear wall of ball room portion of the bldg. With transit reestablished the Corners of main portion of the palace. The inside lines of the outside walls were determined from the fragments uncovered, and these lines were run to intersections, and the inside Corners reestablished and marked with hubs. Very remarkably, the SW Corner & & [sic] the N.W. Corner of the main portion were round to be exact right angles (90°). The SE Corner walls made an angle of 90° 01 ½'. The N.E. Cor. angle was not read.

The two side walls of the main portion agreed exactly in length (48'9 ½") inside measurements. The front wall measured 55'-2". The rear wall measured 55'-2 ½". -15- Also center line, N & S, through the building was established & marked with hubs.

Reference points were also put in to reproduce, if necessary, these points.

Thursday Aug. 21, 1930. 24 men
Entrance platform of stone on west side at location called for on Jefferson's plan for west side entrance to 1st floor, was uncovered today, and also at foot of it a space paved with square brick paving. Also a drain at west South side of this platform & paving running E & W and connecting with N & S drain on west side of the building was found.
