    This vintage photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures a significant architectural scene in Fairfax County, Virginia. The image showcases traditional houses characterized by their clapboard siding, prominent porches, and distinctive chimneys, reflecting the residential design trends of the early 20th century.

    Johnston was a pivotal figure in documenting the architecture of the American South, and her work is preserved as part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South. This particular image contributes to a broader understanding of Virginias architectural heritage, highlighting the craftsmanship and aesthetic choices of the time.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph serves as an invaluable historical resource. It is part of the Library of Congress collection, which aims to preserve and present the architectural history of the region. This image not only represents a moment in time but also invites viewers to appreciate the rich architectural narrative of Fairfax County.
