    First Brick House in Norfolk, Virginia, 1634 History Photo

    $25.00

    Frances Benjamin Johnston captured a significant historical image of a building located in Norfolk vicinity, Princess Anne County, Virginia. This structure is notable for being the first brick house in Virginia, with origins dating back to before 1634. The house has been restored by its present owner, ensuring that its architectural integrity is preserved for future generations.

    The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which documents important architectural examples across the region. Johnstons work serves as a valuable resource for understanding early American architecture, particularly in Virginia. The image showcases intricate details, such as the stairways and paneling, that reflect the craftsmanship of the time.

    This vintage photo, acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, is a testament to the rich history of Virginia and its architectural evolution. It offers insights into early colonial life and the significance of brick construction in the region.
