The Palace was the focus of the city's fashionable society and finest
entertainments. On October 31, 1771, the Virginia Gazette said in a
typical report, "Last Friday night being the anniversary of our Most
Gracious Sovereign's Accession to the Throne, His Excellency the
Governor gave a Ball and an elegant Entertainment at the Palace, to a
numerous and splendid Company of Ladies and Gentlemen." |
