Wessells Root Cellar is a small brick structure near Hallwood, Accomack County, Virginia. The root cellar was built sometime after 1768 by William Vessells as a structure separate from the main house, which burned in 1937. The cellar is of fine quality and has remained in the Wessells family for more than two hundred years. A decorative header pattern in the gable using overfired brick is an unusual detail.[3]
