The foundation and chimney are all that remain of the Monticello joinery, one of the first buildings to be constructed on Mulberry Row. A joiner was a woodworker who made doors, windows, and decorative finishwork, such as cornices and mantels, balustrades and railings. In the fortyÂyear course of the construction and reconstruction of the Monticello house, some of the finest architectural woodwork in Virginia was made in the Mulberry Row joinery. Jefferson hired highly skilled free joiners to come live and work at Monticello. Irishmen like James Dinsmore and John Neilson passed their skills on to their assistantsÂÂtypically Jefferson's slaves, among which John Hemings is the most notable. Jefferson considered Dinsmore and Neilson "house joiners of the very first order both in their kno[w]lege in architecture, and their practical abilities."
