Moses Myers House (Part of the Chrysler Museum of Art)

The Moses Myers House was one of the first brick homes built in Norfolk after the Revolutionary War, which saw most of the town leveled by British bombardment and subsequent fire. The stately Moses Myers House offers an exceptionally accurate picture of the late Federal period and the life of the prosperous Jewish family.

Moses Myers, an early American entrepreneur and leading citizen, built the house to accommodate his growing family and social prominence. The home passed down through several generations of the family to Norfolk mayor Barton Myers, who carried out early architectural restoration in 1892. The home contains a remarkable number of furnishings original to the family.
