    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, created by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the Clerks Office in Eastville, Northampton County, Virginia. Built by John Marshall, the structure was initially designed to manage 50,000 pounds of tobacco. The Clerks Office is part of a historic group of buildings that includes a jail, debtors prison, and courthouse, all of which played significant roles in the administration of justice in the region.

    The Clerks Office is notable for containing the only continuous records in the United States dating back to 1630. This rich history is reflected in its architectural features, including intricate woodwork and period-appropriate fireplaces. The buildings historical significance is further underscored by its association with the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, highlighting its role in documenting Americas architectural heritage.

    This photograph captures a moment in time, serving as a visual record of Eastvilles past and the evolution of its legal and civic institutions. It is an essential piece for anyone interested in the history of Virginia and the development of early American governance.
