Site Master 1653-1834 (yellow pine) WKGAx1 (t = 10.60 SEUSAPIN; 9.80 ROCKx1; 8.86 MLSCx1).

The kitchen formerly at 3202 Washington Road, Augusta, Georgia, is a single-story, two-room frame structure with a central chimney stack. At the time of sampling, the building had just been moved to its new location a few blocks away from 3202 Washington Road.

Dendrochronological analysis has shown that the building was constructed from timbers felled in the winter of 1827/8, the summer of 1828, the winter of 1828/9, the spring of 1828, and the summer of 1829, suggesting that the building was constructed at this latter time or shortly thereafter. One of the timbers sampled, a bottom plate, was found to have a felled-after date of 1834, suggesting that this timber was a replacement for the original bottom plate and that this repair took place sometime after 1834.
