    Historic 1730 Building in Dinwiddie County, VA

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, attributed to Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures a historic wooden building located in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, near Petersburg. Constructed around 1730 by Captain Howell Briggs, the structure reflects early colonial architecture typical of the region.

    The building holds historical significance as the birthplace of Gray Briggs, who later served as a member of the House of Burgesses from 1752 to 1758. This connection to early American governance adds depth to its historical narrative, showcasing the role of family legacies in the political landscape of Virginia.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a collection that documents significant architectural sites and structures. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of the building but also contributes to a broader understanding of Virginias architectural heritage. It was acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, further emphasizing its value in historical preservation.
