1730 Historic Building on Johns Island, SC - 1938 Photo
Beautifully designed. Printed on archival paper for modern walls.
This vintage photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston captures a historic building on Johns Island, South Carolina, dating back to 1730. Constructed by John Fenwick, this structure replaced an earlier log house and showcases the architectural style of its time. The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a significant collection that documents the diverse architectural heritage of the region.
The photograph highlights various interior elements such as andirons, candlesticks, fireplaces, mantels, and moldings, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. This building not only serves as a representation of plantation life in the Carolina Low Country but also provides insight into the domestic spaces of the time.
Published in 1938 in Samuel Gaillard Stoneys Plantations of the Carolina Low Country, this image is a valuable artifact for understanding the historical context of South Carolinas architectural evolution.
