Augusta, GA 1957: Vintage Architecture Photograph

Frances Benjamin Johnston captured this vintage photograph in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, as part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South. The image showcases a house with distinct architectural features typical of the region, including a prominent porch that reflects the local building styles of the early 20th century.

Published in the 1957 work The Early Architecture of Georgia by Frederick Doveton Nichols, this photograph serves as a valuable resource for understanding the residential architecture of the time. The Carnegie Survey aimed to document and preserve the architectural heritage of the South, and Johnstons work contributes significantly to this endeavor.

This image is not just a representation of a house; it is part of a broader narrative about the architectural evolution in Georgia. It provides insights into the social and cultural context of Augusta during that period.
