    1766 Church Academy in Owens, VA - Historical Architecture

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a historical structure in Owens, King George County, Virginia, dating back to 1766. The building features a square cruciform design, with all four arms of equal length, reflecting the architectural style of its time. Originally a church, it fell into disrepair by 1812 and was subsequently repurposed in 1813 as an academy by the county. Notably, the chancel was moved to the north wall rather than its original east end position.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a significant documentation effort aimed at preserving the architectural heritage of the region. This photograph serves as a valuable record of early American ecclesiastical architecture, showcasing elements such as brickwork, doors, and windows that exemplify the craftsmanship of the era.

    Published in Henry Irving Brocks Colonial Churches in Virginia in 1930, this photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the structure and its evolution through time.
