    Franktown VA Rural Architecture Photo from 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a rural scene in Franktown, Northampton County, Virginia, reflecting the architectural styles of the early 20th century. The image prominently features traditional farmhouses characterized by gambrel roofs and distinctive chimneys, typical of the region’s agricultural heritage.

    Taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a noted photographer known for her contributions to documenting Southern architecture, this photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South. The survey aimed to comprehensively capture the unique architectural styles found across the Southern United States, with a focus on historic buildings and their cultural significance.

    The photograph was acquired from Johnstons estate in 1953 and remains housed in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. It serves as an important visual record of the architectural landscape in Virginia during this period, appealing to historians, architecture enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
