Historic Building in Jamestown, NC - 1819 Photograph

This vintage photograph captures a historic building located in Jamestown, Guilford County, North Carolina. Constructed in 1819, the structure is notable for its brickwork, featuring a Flemish bond pattern, which showcases the craftsmanship of the era. This building exemplifies the architectural style associated with Friends meeting houses and serves as a significant piece of local history.

Part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, this image was collected to document the rich architectural heritage of the region. The survey aims to preserve and promote knowledge about early American architecture, and this particular structure was later published in Thomas Tileston Watermans book, The Early Architecture of North Carolina, in 1941.

With its historical significance and architectural details, this photograph is a valuable addition for those interested in North Carolinas history and architecture.
