    1736 Church in Norfolk, VA: A Historic Snapshot from 1930

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, attributed to Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures a significant structure located in Norfolk, Virginia, specifically in Princess Anne County. Originally built in 1736, this church reflects the architectural styles of its time, featuring distinctive elements such as brickwork, gables, and doorways. The buildings historical context is enriched by its association with the only recorded case of ducking a witch in Virginia, which took place at Ducking Point in 1698.

    The church has undergone restoration in recent years, preserving its historical integrity while allowing for modern appreciation. The site of the first church remains unknown, but the second church ultimately succumbed to the river after a canal was cut through the area. This photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, emphasizing the importance of documenting architectural heritage.

    Published in Henry Irving Brocks Colonial Churches in Virginia in 1930, this image serves as a valuable educational resource, offering insight into Virginias colonial history and architectural evolution.
