Mark Reed toured the Adam Thoroughgood House, and talked about the history of Mr. Thoroughgood, a colonist and community leader in the Virginia Colony who helped settle the area of South Hampton Roads, now known as Virginia Beach, Virginia. For many years it was believed the house was built by Adam Thoroughgood himself. Today, architectural historians agree the house was built in 1719 by Adam’s great-grandson, Argall.
