    Historic Building in Surry County, VA, circa 1660

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases a historic building located in Surry County, Virginia, near the James River. Dating back to approximately 1660, the structure was originally built by Arthur Allen. It holds significant historical relevance, having been seized and fortified during Bacons Rebellion in 1676.

    The image features architectural elements characteristic of the period, including exposed beams and a prominent fireplace. These details offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship and design preferences of 17th-century Virginia. The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aimed to document and preserve the architectural heritage of the region.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph serves as an educational artifact, providing insight into early American architecture and the historical context of Surry County. It is a valuable addition for collectors and historians interested in the architectural evolution of the United States.
