    Historic Building in Beaverdam, VA, 1698 Photo

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases a historic building located in Beaverdam, Hanover County, Virginia. The structure dates back to 1698 and was constructed by a Scotsman named Chiswell. Notably, it served as the residence of prominent figures such as Patrick Henry and Dolley Madison, making it a significant site in American history.

    The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project aimed at documenting the diverse architectural styles across the region. The image captures the essence of early American colonial architecture, emphasizing the distinctive porches that are characteristic of the era.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this image is an important artifact that contributes to our understanding of Virginias architectural heritage. It is a valuable resource for historians, educators, and anyone interested in the architectural legacy of the United States.
