    Cessford Residence, Eastville VA, 20th Century History

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures the architectural beauty of a residence in Eastville, Northampton County, Virginia. The home, known as Cessford, was constructed by Dr. John Kerr, whose family emigrated from Scotland in 1750. The name Cessford originates from a seat in Scotland, reflecting the familys heritage. The structure features five dormers on each side, fine woodwork, and a grand stairway, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a significant collection documenting historical architecture across the region. This particular photograph emphasizes the elegant porch and distinctive dormer design, hallmarks of 19th-century Virginia homes. The original window glass adds to the historical integrity of the building.

    Taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a noted photographer, this image serves as a valuable record of Eastvilles architectural landscape in the early 20th century, preserving the legacy of a bygone era.
