When archaeologists discovered this cellar, it was filled with garbage, oyster shells, and bricks. Excavations revealed walls and a floor made of small imported Dutch bricks. When the building collapsed in the late 1720s, people began using the cellar hole as a convenient place to dump their trash. Among the broken bottle fragments at the bottom of the cellar, archaeologists found a glass bottle seal with a 1724 date. They found another seal dated 1741 in the top layer of fill. These seals bore the name of William Deacon, the Royal Customs Collector, who married the widow of Garrett Van Sweringen's son, Joseph.
