    Gordonsville, VA Architecture History Photo 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a scene in Gordonsville, located in Orange County, Virginia. The image is credited to Frances Benjamin Johnston, a notable photographer recognized for her work during the early 20th century. The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, an initiative aimed at documenting significant architectural and landscape features in the region.

    Gordonsville is historically significant as the birthplace of Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States, born in 1784. This photograph not only highlights the architectural beauty of the area but also connects to the rich history of the town. The gardens and estates depicted in the image reflect the cultural heritage and landscape design prevalent during that era.

    The photograph was acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953 and is preserved in the Library of Congress, serving as an important record of Southern architecture and gardens. This image is a valuable addition for collectors and history enthusiasts interested in Virginias architectural legacy.
