The development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half of the seventeenth century was closely related to the making and use of bricks.(1)________________________. Although the forests could initially supply sufficient wood. the process of cutting was extremely difficult particularly because of the lack of road. Later,when the wood on the peninsula had been used up, wood had to be brought from some distance. Building stone was also in short supply. (2)_________________________. In addition to practical reasons for using brick as the principal construction material. there was also an ideological reason. Brick represented durability and permanence. (3)__________________________. In 1662,the Town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully carried out, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead,the residents failed to follow the lay. and by 1699,Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of stone with only three or four habitable houses.
