Notes
  • Significance: The Crackerbox is the smallest dormitory on the University of Virginia campus. Part of the historic Lawn and Ranges, it adds an odd note of asymmetry to Jefferson's carefully conceived plan. Thought to have originally been used as a kitchen, the Crackerbox boasts two fireplaces. The first floor fireplace is the largest one at the University. In 1960 the Crackerbox was totally renovated to meet the needs of its present use. It now houses four students.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-266
  • Survey number: HABS VA-193-I
