The Dale House was known as the Relic House when it was first built in the early 20th century, housing displays of the artifacts unearthed by the ladies of the APVA and others. Later it served as a pottery demonstration area and museum store, before becoming the headquarters for the Jamestown Rediscovery project. In spite of its small footprint, the Dale House housed all functions of the Rediscovery project for several years, including collections storage, conservation, staff office space and exhibit space.
