18th-Century Structure in Drayden, Maryland - 1953
Beautifully designed. Printed on archival paper for modern walls.
Frances Benjamin Johnston captured this vintage photograph, showcasing an early 18th-century structure in Drayden, St. Marys County, Maryland. The building features distinctive double chimneys and a pent roof, indicative of the architectural styles prevalent during that era. The property was willed to Daniel Bell and subsequently passed to his son and wife in 1703, highlighting its historical significance in the region.
The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project aimed at documenting the architectural heritage of the southern United States. Johnstons work provides a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the time, showcasing intricate brickwork and dormers that add character to the abandoned structure.
This photograph serves as a visual record of Marylands architectural history, reflecting the regions development over centuries. It was acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, ensuring its preservation for future generations to appreciate.
