    1748 Church in Toano, Virginia - Historical Architecture

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a significant architectural structure located in Toano, James City County, Virginia. The building, constructed in 1748, originally served as a church and was part of a parish formed in 1724. The design features a large T-shaped layout, although the present structure has only one transept, which was added in 1744.

    After the American Revolution, the building transitioned into a school and was repurposed again as a church in 1907. The name of the church is believed to derive from the adjacent farm. This image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aims to document and preserve the rich architectural history of the region.

    This photograph, part of Frances Benjamin Johnstons collection, is a valuable historical artifact that highlights the evolution of religious and educational architecture in colonial Virginia. The image is documented in the Carnegie Survey and was published in Colonial Churches in Virginia by Henry Irving Brock in 1930.
