    Chesterfield VA Well House Photo, Early 20th Century

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, created by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases a well house located in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which documents significant architectural structures in the region. Johnstons work is notable for its focus on both the aesthetic and functional aspects of Southern architecture.

    The well house, constructed from wood, exemplifies the practical designs prevalent in rural Virginia during the early 20th century. This structure reflects the essential role of water access in daily life, particularly in agricultural communities. The photograph captures the simplicity and craftsmanship of wooden buildings characteristic of the area.

    Acquired in 1953 from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate, this image serves as a valuable historical record. It provides insight into the architectural styles and utilitarian structures of the past, contributing to our understanding of Chesterfield Countys cultural heritage. The date of creation aligns with Johnstons comprehensive documentation of Southern architecture, emphasizing its significance in American history.
