Visitors leaving a small wooden, mud-and-daub building, known as the Storehouse for Iron, that has been recreated on Monticello's Mulberrry Row.

Stables

The structure has been in almost continuous use since its construction in 1809. The two stone buildings, originally part of a larger structure, were likely used to store feed and tack during Jefferson’s lifetime. Enslaved grooms and hostlers like Jupiter Evans and Wormley Hughes cared for Jefferson’s prized carriage and riding horses.

Hemmings Cabin

Enslaved master carpenter John Hemmings and his wife, Priscilla, likely lived in a cabin like this reconstruction. Priscilla Hemmings cared for the Jefferson-Randolph children as enslaved nursemaid. This reconstruction represents one of three houses built circa 1793 on Mulberry Row for individual families. It is furnished based on historical records and a rare first-person account.
