    1748 Church Building in Toano, VA - Historic Photo

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a significant building in Toano, James City County, Virginia, dating back to 1748. Originally constructed as a large T-shaped church, it features architectural elements typical of colonial Virginia. The structure underwent modifications over the years, including the addition of a trancept in 1744. Following the American Revolution, it served as a school and was reconverted into a church in 1907, highlighting its evolving role in the community.

    The churchs name is likely derived from the adjoining farm, reflecting the interconnectedness of local agriculture and religion during that era. This image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project documenting historical buildings throughout the region.

    Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer, was known for her detailed representations of southern architecture, contributing to our understanding of Virginias colonial past. This photograph serves as a visual record of the architectural and cultural history of the area.
