1832 Wood House Photo, Warrenton, NC - Architectural Heritag
This vintage photograph captures a wood two-story house located in Warrenton, Warren County, North Carolina. Built in 1832, the structure is representative of early Republican architecture, showcasing the design and craftsmanship typical of the period. The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which documents significant architectural landmarks across the region.
Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer, meticulously cataloged this historic building as part of her extensive work in the early 20th century. Her contributions significantly enhanced the understanding of Southern architecture, and this photograph was later published in Thomas Tileston Watermans The Early Architecture of North Carolina in 1941.
