In April 1767, a cornerstone, inscribed “the Beginning”, was laid, marking the beginning of the construction of the Georgian-style mansion of James Brice, a lawyer, Maryland Executive Council member, and Acting Governor of Maryland [1]. He chose to celebrate the event with rum, documenting this in the extensive ledger he kept on the house’s construction [2]. During the construction of the James Brice house, James Brice carefully documented the materials and procedures used to build the house, providing a detailed account of its construction [2]. Brice’s family would keep the house until the 1870s [1].
