Chaptico, MD Historic Building Photo, 1679 Legacy
Beautifully designed. Printed on archival paper for modern walls.
This vintage photograph, attributed to Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures a historical building in Chaptico, St. Marys County, Maryland. The structure, believed to have been built before 1679, originally served as a hunting lodge for Sir Thomas Notley, a prominent figure in early Maryland history. The image showcases the buildings architectural features, including hand railings and various rooms, while also highlighting the effects of deterioration over time.
The property has a rich lineage, having passed to Colonel William Rozier, whose wife was Lady Ann Sewall, the step-daughter of Lord Baltimore. This connection further underscores the significance of the building within Marylands colonial past. The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project aimed at documenting the architectural heritage of the region.
This piece serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of early American architecture and the stories embedded within these historic structures. KNOWOLs historic images connect the rich stories and imagery of our past. A statement in any room, each is printed on museum-quality paper using a restored version of the original.
